Dr Singla asked the department to put an institutional arrangement in place wherein final copy of the registered document could be made available to the citizen on his login on the NGDRS portal to enable him to download the document from any location without any encumbrances and without having to visit the Sub Registrar office twice. For this purpose, the department will also explore the possibility of use of e-sign of parties and digital signatures of the Registering Officers.
