The Registration (Meghalaya Amendment) Act, 2022

The Registration (Meghalaya Amendment) Act, 2022, is a legislative update to the existing Registration Act as it applies to the state of Meghalaya. Its primary function is to introduce Section 78A, which empowers the State Government to reduce or entirely waive registration fees for specific documents or classes of persons. This authority is exercised when the government deems it necessary in the public interest. For the ordinary citizen, this means the government now possesses the legal flexibility to lower the financial burden of registering property or other legal instruments, making the registration process more accessible and affordable for specific groups or situations.
