General20087 sections

The Registration (Tamil Nadu Amendment) Act, 2008, modifies the central Registration Act, 1908, specifically for the state of Tamil Nadu. Its primary purpose is to curb fraudulent property transactions and protect public, religious, and charitable lands from unauthorized sale or transfer. The Act empowers registering officers to refuse the registration of documents involving government, religious, or Bhoodan lands without proper sanction. It also mandates strict identification procedures, such as affixing photographs and fingerprints for Power of Attorney documents and property transfers. For ordinary citizens, this law ensures greater security in property dealings and prevents the illegal alienation of protected land categories.
