The Delhi High Court has asked the Indian government to respond to a petition calling for property registration to be linked with Aadhaar, India’s unique identification number. The petition argues that linking property with Aadhaar will help curb fraudulent transactions and ensure that buyers have a clear title. The court has asked the government to respond to the petition within four weeks.
Currently, property registration in India requires the presentation of a variety of documents, including proof of identity and proof of ownership. However, this system has been prone to fraud and manipulation, as some people have been able to register properties under false names or transfer ownership without the consent of the rightful owner. The petition argues that linking property with Aadhaar will make the registration process more secure and help prevent such fraudulent practices.
