Soil sharks in collusion with officials exploit weakness in the registration department software to take the main plot of various government institutions.
It was revealed with a recent sales exposure in 2017 of the three hectares of the Tamil Nadu housing board in Mogappair, with the market value of Rs 150 Crore.
The government’s land shows the value of zero guidelines in the official Tamil Nadu portal for registration, STAR 2.0 (a simplified and transparent registration), a sign that it is public property and not sold.
However, officials at the subregistrar office can assign values ​​of guidelines based on private property around it.
This is how the scam works.
The property belongs to the HR and CE department, for example, reflects as a ‘patta’ on the registration department’s website, although the value of the guideline is zero.
With the value of guidelines from adjacent properties considered, the Temple is illegally registered.
In the case of the land income department, the fake patta for land parcels ‘porambo’ is useful for carrying out transactions.
Asked why the portal could not be evidenced by not allowing ‘zero’ to be changed, officials said about seven lakh survey private property numbers had been incorrectly classified as land ‘porambo’ on the website.
So officials need to make changes.
Another surprise of the Scamster is to register property in one part of the city in the sub-registrar office in another part through a joint registration trick.
For example, illegal sales of the TNHB plot in Mogappair, which came under the Jurisdiction of Konnur’s arrangement office, was documented in the Velacherry Sub-Registrar Office by cutting it with a 400 square foot plot located in Velachery for joint registration.
, TNHB did not respond to TOI queries about illegal property transactions, while senior registration officials said the actions were being taken and the gap in Star 2.0 would be plugged in.
Commissioner HR and CE J Kumaragurubaran have, meanwhile, written to the land administration commissioner to prevent registration of scamards of temple land in the state.
In the communique on Thursday, he said it was now proposed to mark the cases that were fully suitable at the Tamil Patchouli database under the flag name ‘t’, so the transaction could not be registered.
But it still leaves the temple land that is not taken into account correctly.
