Raipur Municipal Corporation (RMC) is all set to simplify the existing method of name transfer in land deal, land donation or inherited property cases, so that the parties involved in it do not need to take round of the zonal offices of the corporation.
RMC officials said that the new system will be implemented within a week or two, after which people can apply for name transfer and make payment sitting at home.
Besides, all types of taxes can also be deposited online without going to the RMC offices. The existing method of name transfer in land cases takes more than two months to complete. Efforts are being made to complete the work within 15 days under the proposed online process, said the officials.
Name transfer after property sale/purchase is essential because without it the name of the previous owner remains in the records of the corporation. The present offline system of name transfer cause a lot of problems for the parties, said the officials, adding the new system, once introduced, will smooth the entire process.
The parties in the land deal will get complete information from the website of the Municipal Corporation or from the ‘Mor Raipur’ App. After the name is inserted, people will also get its information sitting at home.
Corporation has an online system for depositing property tax. The biggest drawback of this system is that if one does not have a property ID, then he or she will not be able to deposit the tax. People have to struggle to get the ID itself.
At present, digital number plates carrying QR code are being installed at the houses in the municipality area, so that house owners pay the tax by scanning the code instead of visiting the RMC offices.
According to the RMC officials, the Mor Raipur App is also being updated to make it more user-friendly.
According to RMC Commissioner Mayank Chaturvedi, the RMC will launch a package consisting of three-four things including name transfer application to prevent people from doing rounds of the RMC offices. The new system will also save the time of the people who can utilise these times in other work.
All these facilities will be made available through the Mor Raipur App and the website of the corporation.
Another important feature of the new system will be the online system for tap connection. The entire process – from application to submission of documents, payment of fees etc.- will be done online. According to the corporation officials, now people have to go to the water department in RMCs zone offices to get information about the tap connection. The officers of the corporation will visit home and inspect the site followed by the visit of tap contractor for further course of action.
