The Registration (Pondicherry Amendment) Act, 1970
The Registration (Pondicherry Amendment) Act, 1970, modifies the central Registration Act, 1908, specifically for the Union Territory of Pondicherry. Its primary purpose is to modernize the document registration process. Instead of requiring the registrar to manually copy every document into a book, the Act introduces provisions for filing "true copies" of documents. It empowers the local government to create rules for these filings, license scribes, and specify document classes. For the ordinary citizen, this means a more efficient, standardized, and potentially faster registration process for property deeds and other legal instruments, ensuring that records are maintained accurately and in line with modern administrative practices.
