Property Registry Offices Reopen In Kolkata

The office of the registrar of assurances, Kolkata, and district registrar offices where property sale agreements and deeds are registered along with legal documents like wills and testaments will reopen today after a month and a half since March 19. Collection from registration and stamp duty is the fourth-highest revenue grosser for the state after SGST, excise collection from liquor and VAT on petroleum products. Resumption of the RA office and the district sub-offices will not only supplement the government coffers during the Covid-19 crisis, but also enable home buyers to complete housing loan formalities after registration of sale agreements and even move into apartments after registering property sale deeds.
