Punjab NGDRS Portal (igrpunjab.gov.in) – Property / Stamp Duty & Registry / Land Online Registration

Property registrations can turn out to be quite a tedious process. There is usually a tonne of paperwork involved, alongside a lot of visits to this office and that. And while all of that may not be enough, there also is the availability of said personnel to look into. In order to ensure that the people face the least amount of hassle when it comes to property registrations, the Punjab government has come up with an interesting solution – NGDRS Portal.

The National Generic Document Registration system or the NGDRS portal has been made to help citizens get through online property registration with utmost ease; with just a few clicks on their computers.

Wrapping it up

The Punjab state government, ever since the implementation of the scheme, has managed to bring to light a lot of registrations, and people have embraced the website with both arms open. With property registrations now being manageable from the comforts of one’s house, especially with social distancing norms in place, is a boon in ways more than one. 

Digitisation is finding its way across all sectors; one could call it a post-pandemic effect, or just the need of the hour and that of the modern world. However, digitising property registration is a much-awaited upgrade, and now with this scheme in place, more property registrations will happen effortlessly, thereby benefitting all stakeholders on the website in the long run.
