Goa now lets property buyers and sellers register documents at any Sub-Registrar Office within the same district, instead of being tied to one office. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant launched the 'Anywhere Registration within the District' facility on July 29 under the National Generic Document Registration System. Goa is the third state to implement this reform. The change aims to ease pressure on busy coastal offices in Bardez, Salcete and Tiswadi, where rising registrations had caused delays. District Registrar Suraj Vernekar said citizens can now choose an office with an earlier appointment slot. The facility is expected to help senior citizens, NRIs and working professionals who found repeated travel to a specific office difficult.
