Dir of Registration & Stamp Revenue, Govt. of WB : Computerization of Registration of Documents

Registration of land records involves a lot of tedious tasks such as

maintenance of fee book registers, determination of market value of properties,

writing endorsement details, maintaining volumes of documents and building

indexes for retrieval later on. Computerization of records and automation of the

routine processes such as generation of transaction IDs and receipts, updation

of stamp duties, registration of signature and fingerprint records helps a great

deal in taking the pain out of the whole process for the common man. Some of the

features of public importance include: a help desk facility for the citizen to

determine the market value of property, stamp duty, registration fees and other

fees payable, data collection regarding executants/claimant, generation of Query

Number for knowing the Stamp Duty and Registration, fees of a deed before its

construction by submitting the deed's information in a prescribed form,

automatic generation of Receipts in the prescribed forms after receiving the

fees, maintenance of accounts, and imaging of registered document with the

entire image document handling tools. The whole system ensures that the public

can at least expect to get the work done within a day, it not within an hour.
