- Abhilash saves ₹46,846 on a family deed of relinquishment registration; gifts the entire saved amount to his sisters
- Financial burden eased due to a registration fee of just ₹500; government initiative becomes a source of family happiness
- Citizens benefit from improved registration services under the leadership of Finance and Registration Minister Shri O.P. Choudhary, in line with Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai’s vision
Reforms undertaken by the Chhattisgarh government to make registration services simple, accessible, and affordable are providing financial relief to citizens while also fostering family happiness. The story of Shri Abhilash from Balodabazar district serves as a prime example. He saved ₹46,846 because the registration fee for a family deed of relinquishment was set at just ₹500. He shared the joy derived from this financial relief with his sisters in a unique way by gifting them the entire saved amount.
In alignment with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s resolve for a ‘Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India) and Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai’s vision for a ‘Viksit Chhattisgarh’ (Developed Chhattisgarh), the Registration Department—under the guidance of Finance and Registration Minister Shri O.P. Choudhary—has implemented several significant reforms to expand citizen amenities and simplify procedures. Setting the registration fee at a mere ₹500 for family deeds of relinquishment is one such public-friendly reform. To understand how these reforms are benefiting the intended recipients, the department is engaging in direct dialogue with citizens under the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ to gather their experiences and suggestions.
- Smiles light up sisters’ faces thanks to savings from the registration
During an interaction with the Registration Department under the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’, Shri Abhilash shared that he benefited from the concessional fee prescribed by the government while registering the document related to the family deed of relinquishment. While this process previously entailed significant expenditure, the registration fee is now a mere ₹500, allowing him to save ₹46,846. He did not limit this saving to mere financial gain; instead, he gifted the entire amount to his sisters, thereby further enhancing the family’s happiness.
This government initiative brought a twofold benefit to Mr. Abhilash. On one hand, the registration of essential property documents was completed at a low cost, while on the other, the saved funds proved useful for his family members. He expressed his gratitude to Chief Minister Mr. Vishnu Deo Sai and Finance and Registration Minister Mr. O.P. Choudhary for the financial relief and convenience provided during the registration process.
- Registration of Family Property Documents Becomes Affordable
Citizens are receiving significant financial relief as the state government has fixed the registration fee at just ₹500 for eligible documents related to the relinquishment of family property rights. This has reduced the cost associated with settling property-related rights among family members. The benefit is particularly significant for families who previously had to incur high registration fees.
The experience of Mr. Abhilash from Balodabazar illustrates how the government’s policy reforms are bringing positive changes to the lives of ordinary citizens. When the ₹46,846 saved on registration was gifted to his sisters, the relief on registration fees transformed into a memorable story of family affection and happiness.
