Both sub-registrar and joint sub-registrar will be equal in all respects and concerned district magistrate will allocate work among them at sub-registrar office concerned, it said.

"The move was aimed at reducing burden on the sub-registrars already working at these offices that witness significant public rush and lot of paper work," said a senior Delhi government official.

He said already 22 women sub-registrars were posted at the sub-registrar offices on the instructions of the Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena last year, to help check corruption and red tape, and to infuse public friendly atmosphere at these offices witnessing hectic activity.

"These women sub-registrars have been provided with training and after they took charge there is a perceptible change in working culture at the sub-registrar offices," the official claimed.

The seven sub-registrar offices where the women officers have been posted as joint sub-registrar witness more work as compared to other offices in different parts of the city, the order said. These offices deal with registration of sale deeds and other documentation process related to immovable properties. PTI VIT
