Registering property? Biometric ID must

Biometric ID must for registering property in Delhi.

If you are looking to register property in the nation capital your biometric identity proof will now be mandatory from onwards. Along with the other necessary documentation an Aadhar Unique Identification (UID) number or an enrollment slip showing it is on its way will be essential.  The Revenue Department took the lead making biometric ID proof mandatory for all 20 services-ranging from registration of property to domicile and SC/ST certificates and other departments are set to follow suit soon. Those enrolled under the ongoing National Population Register of the Union home ministry will be considered too.

The Biometric ID move was in a chaos so far as some applicants were clueless about the UID enrollment and some were yet to receive the number.  Delhi’s divisional commissioner and revenue secretary has issued an order making it mandatory for all deputy commissioners to seek a UID number or enrollment slip from the applicants. He said, all those who have come to counter for availing any of the 20 services offered by the revenue department from now on will have to bring along their UID numbers or UID enrollment slips and if the enrollment is not done they have too.  Adding further he said that the UID card will benefit of the services. The idea is to link the services to biometric identity proof.

Revenue Secretary added that in next coming months the authorities will get stricter. If there is no enrollment then the service will be terminated.
