Credai Proposals to AP for Quick Property Registrations
Stating that the initiative had strengthened digital governance, transparency, and public service delivery
Visakhapatnam: Credai (Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India), Visakhapatnam has requested AP’s Stamps and Registration department to introduce a Project ID-based framework under CARD 2.0 to streamline the registration process for gated communities and large residential projects. In a representation submitted to the Deputy Inspector General of Stamps and Registration department in Visakhapatnam, the confederation appreciated the implementation of CARD 2.0, stating that the initiative had strengthened digital governance, transparency, and public service delivery.
Credai, however, pointed out that the existing process of generating check slips prior to registration is taking up considerable time, particularly for large residential projects, where the process could extend beyond 90 minutes. According to the confederation, the repeated entry of project-related information for every individual unit, including ownership details, OTP verifications, and uploading of link documents, is resulting in operational delays and unnecessary duplication of work. Credai, Visakhapatnam president E. Ashok Kumar said the framework proposed by the confederation would simplify the registration workflow for large-scale development works and improve overall system efficiency. “CARD 2.0 is a significant step towards modernising registration services.
The introduction of a centralised Project ID system would help reduce repetitive procedures and facilitate faster processing of registrations,” Ashok Kumar acknowledged. Under Credai’s proposal, each project would be assigned a unique Project ID after registration of master project data. The ID could subsequently be used for all unit-wise registrations within the same development project.
The proposed framework includes permanent storage of landowner and GPA holder details for auto-population in future transactions, single-time OTP verification for authorised signatories, centralised storage of verified link documents, and automatic retrieval of project data to reduce manual entries. Ashok Kumar said the system suggested would substantially reduce check slip generation time, improve data accuracy, and enhance operational efficiency for applicants, developers, and departmental officials.
