Several announcements related to the Tamil Nadu Registration Department, made in the Assembly during the 2021–2025 period under the DMK government, have not been implemented, according to a report.
During the 2023–24 grant demand debate, Minister Moorthy said no new announcements were issued because government funds were not provided.
Among the pending measures is a plan to redraw sub-registrar office boundaries so that hamlets under revenue villages fall within a single office jurisdiction. Another proposal is to form a special investigation team to probe alleged irregularities from previous years.
The list also includes a transfer policy by categorising sub-registrar offices, weekly grievance camps at DIG and district registrar offices, and basic public amenities at sub-registrar offices with an allocation of Rs 50 lakh.
Other unimplemented items mentioned include an online facility to apply for corrections in marriage certificates (Rs 6 lakh), district-level public awareness seminars on document registration procedures (Rs 38 lakh), issuing 20,000 new document writer licences through a special public examination, licences for engineering graduates as field work supervisors for building field work, a settlement scheme for collecting penalties on filing annual returns of societies, and an awards scheme to recognise well-performing sub-registrars (Rs 5 lakh).
