Delhi to modernise property registration with biometrics
Delhi government plans to improve property registration by introducing biometric scans and queue management. The initiative aims to reduce long queues at registration centers. The process would involve linking to Aadhar numbers, expanding the utility of Aadhar for various e-government services.
The Delhi government is considering adoption of biometric scans and a queue management system to enhance property registration services. According to a statement by Revenue Minister Kailash Gahlot , such a system would eliminate long queues that are typically witnessed in sub-registries across India’s capital. In practice, use of biometrics for property registration will require registration for the Aadhar Unique Identification (UID) number. This would increase the use cases for Aadhar, which although not mandatory is progressively being used for e-government services.
