What new Registration Bill says, why it was introduced

The Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) has invited suggestions on the new draft Registration Bill 2025, which seeks to replace the 117-year-old Registration Act of 1908. The Bill, the MoRD says, will digitise the registration of property documents, enhance transparency, and maintain digital records. Can it deliver? The Registration Bill, 2025 was introduced to establish a modern framework for registration of land documents, and a more citizen-centric approach. Some key features include: Online/offline registration: End-to-end registrations, from the presentation of documents to their submission, can either be done at the office of the Sub-Registrar or via electronic means. Identity verifications will be carried out via Aadhaar or through an offline verification process (Section 29 (3)). No person can be denied registration of their documents if they do not possess an Aadhaar number (Section 29 (4)). Expanded list of compulsory docs: The Bill expands the list of compulsory registration of documents under Section 12 with the inclusion of agreement of sale, power of attorneys (POAs), sale agreements, mortgage by deposit of title deed, and merger and demerger of companies under the Companies Act, 2013 (Section 12(f-j)). The Bill also provides for simplified optional registration under Section 13 that Section 12 does not cover but fails to specify which documents come under this category, leaving it to wide interpretation. Introducing new positions: In addition to the post of Inspector General of Registration, the Bill introduces Additional and Assistant Inspector Generals of Registration. Section 4(5) states: 'The appropriate government may prescribe the terms and conditions of service, and the duties of the officers appointed under sub-section (4) and authorise them to exercise all or any powers and duties of the Inspector General of Registration.' Reasons for refusal/cancellation: Section 58 of the Bill lists the reasons upon which a document may be refused for registration, including documents submitted without true translation, erasure of content from the documents, documents submitted after the prescribed period of four-months (this is not applicable on wills), or if the person concerned is a minor, mentally incapable or deceased. Section 64(3) states that the Inspector General of the Registration is vested with the power to cancel any registration that appears to be made based on false information, in breach of the provisions of the Act, or if the document was made on a transaction that was found to be conducted against the law. Such reasons must be recorded in writing before passing an order. An appeal can be filed against such an order within 30 days. Reduced imprisonment: The penalties prescribed in the current Act are seven years imprisonment with a fine or both, whereas the new draft bill reduces the imprisonment to three years, along with a fine, or in some cases, both. Why did the current Act need reform? The pre-Independence Registration Act, 1908 provided for registration of various property-related documents. Citizens needed to visit the registration office and submit documents to the Sub-Registrar for the registration process. These documents were required to be presented by persons themselves or their appointed agents. With growing technological advancements and hassle-free methods, 'several states and union territories have already introduced innovations such as online document submission and digital identity verification under the existing 1908 Act,' the MoRD says. As the role of the registered documents increased in both public and private transactions, parallel systems had to be designed to sustain the growing demands. This necessitated an updation of the Act itself — which the Registration Bill 2025 seeks to do. What are some concerns surrounding the Bill? The Bill aims to digitise processes of registration, reduce the risk of title fraud, improve approval rates, and reduce disputes. However, with the maintenance of digital records, important information with regards to e-signatures will be maintained in a digital archive, which may require more robust cybersecurity systems. The Bill may also delegate the registration functions to the Common Services Centres (CSCs). Allowing CSCs to facilitate processes that involve valuation of stamp duty, transfer of title, etc, processes that require legal implications, may create procedural gaps. The portal for suggestions on the draft Bill remains open until June 25.

JLR to face $2.1bn tariff hit: Chandra

Tata Group chairman N Chandrasekaran Mumbai: Tata Motors-owned British luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover faces potential tariff impacts of 1.6 billion pounds (about $2.1 billion) from new US trade measures, Tata Group chairman N Chandrasekaran said. He noted that ongoing mitigation plans aim to reduce this impact to 600 million pounds. "Tariff is a major issue, primarily for JLR," said Chandrasekaran at Tata Motors ' 80th AGM on Friday. "Without intervention, JLR's tariff rate would have gone from 2.5% to 27.5%. With the US-UK trade deal, the 27.5% tariff will drop to 10%. The overall impact even of the 10% will be 1.6 billion pounds. But JLR has taken a lot of steps through which it will be able to reduce the impact to 600 million pounds." This AGM marked Chandrasekaran's first appearance at a shareholder meeting after the Air India flight 171 crash on June 12, having missed shareholder meetings at Tata Consumer Products and TCS. The meeting held additional significance as it was the final AGM for Tata Motors before its division into two listed companies by year-end, focusing on passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles, respectively. Chandrasekaran also assured shareholders that China's export restrictions on rare earth magnets pose no immediate supply concerns, while the company explores alternative sourcing options. Rare earth elements play a crucial role in the production of permanent magnets, which are essential components in electric motors.

No supply issues for EV magnets, monitoring geopolitical risks closely: N. Chandrasekaran

Tata Motors chairman N. Chandrasekaran on Friday told shareholders at the company's 80th annual general meeting that the company is accelerating its electric vehicle (EV) strategy, even as it closely monitors supply chain and geopolitical risks that could affect growth. EVs accounted for 15 per cent of the company's passenger vehicle sales in the last financial year. Tata Motors now aims to reach 30 per cent electric vehicle penetration well before 2030. 'We already have a portfolio—with Nexon EV , Punch EV, Tiago and Tigor—and we have several more models in the pipeline,' Chandrasekaran said. Tata Motors continues to lead the Indian EV market with over 50 per cent share, although this has declined from 79 per cent two years ago as Mahindra & Mahindra, Hyundai Motor India and MG Motor India expand their offerings. 'Yes, competition has increased, but we remain fully committed and have a runway,' he said. Supply chain, tariff impact under watch Chandrasekaran said the company is monitoring supply chain and geopolitical risks, including the sourcing of rare earth magnets used in EVs. 'We are not facing any issues. We are able to source the magnets we need and have the right level of inventory,' he said. 'We're also working with the government on alternative resources. This is something we are watching very carefully.' He addressed concerns around increased US tariffs on UK-made vehicles, which would affect Jaguar Land Rover . 'If the tariffs had gone to 27.5 per cent, the impact would have been £1.6 billion. With the UK-US trade deal , that's coming down to 10 per cent, and JLR's mitigation steps will reduce the impact to around £600 million,' he said. Tata Motors will participate in the government's EV bus programmes through its mobility business and is testing 12 hydrogen buses and trucks. 'The cost of production and operations for hydrogen is still high. This won't scale in the near term,' he said. The company's plan to demerge its passenger and commercial vehicle businesses remains on schedule. Both units are expected to list separately in the December quarter. 'All three businesses have balance sheets and cash flows. There is no need for large-scale debt unless a strategic opportunity arises,' Chandrasekaran added.
