The Registration (Goa, Daman and Diu Amendment) Act, 1985

General198518 sections

This law amends the Indian Registration Act of 1908 specifically for the Union Territories of Goa, Daman, and Diu. It changes how documents are handled by requiring that true copies be presented and filed alongside the original documents during registration. The amendments ensure that registrars must make and file true copies of documents in their official books rather than just copying the original entries. Additionally, it mandates that the marital status of the person be recorded and allows the local government to reduce or waive registration fees if needed in the public interest. This improves record-keeping accuracy and accessibility.
