Now the purchase and sale of land in the state will be completely online and paperless, which will provide relief to the common people from registry’s mess and corruption. Under this new system, people will not need to repeatedly visit the Registry Court.

Katib and stamp vendors will also be benefited by online registry
After this new change, the question was arising whether the employment of Katib (accountant) and stamp vendors would be affected or not? The government has also solved this. Despite the closure of the manual work, Katib and Stamp Vendor will now be able to work in a digital manner by joining the online process. This will not only keep their livelihood but they will also become part of the digital age.
