AHMEDABAD: Don’t be surprised if you see endless queues of people armed with not just lunch boxes but bedrolls in preparation to spend the night outside sub-registrar offices dotting cities in Gujarat.
For barely a week remains for the revised jantri to be effective from April 1, 2008. So is the desperation of property owners to get their property registered before the new jantri rate blows a bigger hole in the pocket by way of higher stamp duty and registration charges?
Trikoksinh Dhauni has been queuing up outside Ahmedabad’s Lal Darwaja sub-registrar office for the past two days.
“Though I had bought a property at Sarkhej two-and-a-half years ago, I was not able to get the power of attorney transferred, but if I don’t regularise the transaction now, I will have to pay three times more,” says a Dhauni.
Property buyers have been queuing up at sub-registrar offices at Lal Darwaja, Polytechnic, Pragatinagar and Wadaj with some people even paying the office staff to spend the night to beat the big rush in the morning. “We have been registering more than twice the number of properties than we do on normal days,” says an official at the Polytechnic sub-registrar office.
The diamond city, too, is seeing an unprecedented scramble to register property with nearly 120 tokens being distributed daily in each zone, which used to otherwise register 30-50 applications daily. Scenes of people armed with lunches and bedrolls to spend over 12 hours or maybe even the night outside Bahumali Bhavan in Nanpura have now become a common sight.
The scene is no different at Vadodara’s Kuber Bhavan where sub-registrar Bhavna Trivedi admits that they have their hands full catering to the huge rush.
“The queues at the e-stamping and valuation department are never-ending these days. To manage the rush we have started issuing tokens so that instead of crowding the corridors they can come as per the token number issued to them,” Trivedi explained.
According to S J Patel, a revenue department official in Rajkot, nearly 800 to 900 properties are being registered daily in the district over the last fortnight.
“Everyone wants to register their property before April 1, which is why we have our hands busy registering 120 to 150 documents daily over the past 20-odd days as against the average 60 daily registrations,” said an official at the Tagore Marg sub-registrar office.
