“Due to various reasons registration is stopped for 70 to 80 days creating some difficulties. There should not be any further delay now. There is a need to have a registration process, which should be simple, easy and comfortable. Real estate Sector is doing very well in Hyderabad. The non-Agriculture lands and properties registration system should not create any problem for the Real estate sector and it should Infact help the sector’s further growth.
The process should be transparent in such way that people have no scope to pay any bribes. No officer should have any discretionary rights to take any decision. Talk to Builders, real Sector representatives and other related sections, the CM told the Cabinet Sub Committee and asked it take the opinions and finalise the policy.
