Property buyers may no longer have to visit taluk offices or village administrative officers seeking a transfer for patta documents as it can now be done in subregistrar’s offices at the click of a button.

This would save considerable time for patta transfers that normally consume about a month in some cases.

The state government has kickstarted a facility through which name transfers would be done at the registration office as the property is being sold to a buyer from the existing owner.

According to a recent government order issued by the department of revenue and disaster management, title transfers that involves only a single owner and does not deal with sub-division properties would be taken up for automatic mutation.

When a property is due for registration, the registration official verifies five important elements including whether the sellers name matches with the name of the land owner in the online patta, survey number, subdivision number and area mentioned in the registration document matches with the online chitta, no encumbrance on the property. Moreover, the seller and buyer must furnish their Aadhar Card numbers and mobile numbers. In the event of all documents are clear, the name change in patta transfer would be done subsequently along with property registration at a click of the button without human intervention.

Registration department sources said that the facility would be available only for properties with single owners and not sub-divisions. "In case of a person is going to divide his property and register or in the event one property owner in joint property deeds and sell it, they cannot avail this facility as a personal verification by the revenue department is required. The online name transfer could be availed only for properties that does not require sub-division," the official added.
