Na.Ka. No. 55989/C1/2013, Project TeAM STAR 2.0 Instructions
The Office of the Head of the Registration Department issued Na.Ka. No. 55989/C1/2013 on 12 December 2018, directing registration offices to use outsourced Data Entry Operators and supporting equipment under Project TeAM STAR 2.0. The instructions, to be followed from 17 December 2018, are intended to support scanning, data entry and return of registered documents on the same day.
What the document does
Na.Ka. No. 55989/C1/2013, issued by the Office of the Head of the Registration Department on 12 December 2018, gives operational instructions for registration offices under Project TeAM STAR 2.0. It refers to an earlier communication dated 28 February 2018 and requires the new working arrangements to be followed from 17 December 2018.
The main purpose is to improve document processing so that a document presented for registration can be scanned, processed and returned on the same day. The document records that 735 outsourced Data Entry Operators were provided for this work.
Who is affected
The instructions directly apply to Registration Department officers, District Registrars, registration offices and the outsourced Data Entry Operators working in those offices.
Property buyers, sellers and other people presenting documents for registration may be affected because the arrangements concern how quickly registered documents are processed and returned. The document does not change ownership rules, stamp duty or registration charges.
Key provisions
- Data Entry Operators must be used for data entry and related processing work in registration offices.
- Work must be organised according to the registration workload of each office.
- Data Entry Operators are to assist with scanning documents and completing the required computer based work.
- Documents received and registered are to be returned on the same day through the prescribed process.
- Registration offices must have the equipment needed for the work, including a web camera and scanner.
- District Registrars must ensure that offices have adequate scanner facilities. The document also discusses arranging two scanners where required and making use of available scanners.
- Offices must keep network connections ready, including the listed BSNL MPLS VPN, Airtel and BSNL broadband facilities.
- Supervising officers must monitor the Data Entry Operators and ensure that the work is completed correctly and without delay.
Practical significance
A person registering a property document can expect the registration office to use the STAR 2.0 staffing, scanning and network arrangements to support same day return. Actual processing still depends on the office completing the required registration, scanning and computer work.
