BUDGAM: Additional Inspector General of Registration (IGR), J&K, Abid Hussain, along with the Additional Deputy Commissioner Budgam, Mehraj-ud-Din, and the Sub-Registrar Budgam, today visited the Court Complex Budgam to review the progress of digitization of legacy registration records.
During the review, it was informed that nearly 70 percent of the digitization work has been successfully completed. The officers took detailed stock of the ongoing process and emphasized the need for timely completion of the remaining work to ensure seamless integration of all records.
The digitization of legacy registration data, previously held by the judiciary, and its subsequent transfer to the Registration Department forms a key component of the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP). The initiative aims to centralize land records, minimize litigation related to property transactions, and provide citizens with faster, transparent, and secure access to registration services. Special focus is being laid on uploading legacy data of the past two decades onto the National Generic Document Registration System (NGDRS).
It was further highlighted that in Jammu & Kashmir, the registration of property documents was earlier undertaken by the judiciary. Although the responsibility now rests with the Registration Department, legacy records continue to remain with the courts, necessitating their digitization for streamlined public service delivery.
The Additional IGR appreciated the cooperation and support extended by the judiciary in facilitating the digitization process and expressed satisfaction over the progress achieved so far. He reiterated the importance of completing the remaining work within stipulated timelines to ensure the full realization of the objectives of the programme.
