Administrative Approval Granted for setting up Sub-Registrar Offices in Bhakhara, Lavan, Sakri and Rajkishore Nagar
Raipur: In a significant move aimed at making registry and related services easier, more accessible and time-bound for the general public, the State Government has approved the opening of four new Sub-Registrar Offices. Under the provisions of the Registration Act, 1908, administrative approval has been accorded for establishing Sub-Registrar Offices at Bhakhara (Dhamtari district), Lavan (tehsil headquarters in Balodabazar-Bhatapara district), and Sakri and Rajkishore Nagar in Bilaspur district.
According to available information, administrative approval has been granted for opening a new Sub-Registrar Office at Bhakhara in Dhamtari district. Similarly, approval has been accorded for Sub-Registrar Office at Tehsil Headquarters Lavan under Balodabazar-Bhatapara District Registrar, and at Rajkishore Nagar and Sakri area in Bilaspur district.
With the establishment of these new Sub-Registrar Offices, residents of the concerned areas will no longer be required to travel to distant district headquarters for registration-related work. This is expected to save both time and money, reduce congestion, and make the registration process more convenient and transparent.
The move is also likely to boost local economic activity and accelerate administrative functioning at the grassroots level.
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai stated that the State Government’s objective is to ensure that government services are easily accessible to citizens. He said that the approval of new Sub-Registrar Offices will provide substantial relief to people in completing registration-related work. Describing it as another strong step towards good governance, he noted that the decision will save citizens’ time and enhance transparency in administrative processes, the CM noted .
Finance and Commercial Tax and Registration Minister O.P. Choudhary said that the State Government is giving the highest priority to the expansion of citizen-centric services. The approval of four new Sub-Registrar Offices, he said, is a reflection of this commitment. With the opening of these offices, the registration system will be further strengthened and people will be able to access quality services in nearby areas, making the process simpler, more transparent and faster. He informed that the Registration Department has implemented 10 new revolutionary reforms, the benefits of which will also be available to citizens in these regions.
These include auto deed generation, Aadhaar-based biometric verification, doorstep registration, automatic mutation, online encumbrance-free certificates, integrated cashless payment, WhatsApp-based services, DigiLocker integration, Digi-Doc services, and facilities for online search and download of registration documents using Khasra numbers, OP Choudhary added.
State Government’s decision is being widely viewed as an important step taken in public interest, which will make the registration system more decentralised, efficient and effective, Choudhary affirmed.
