Tamil Nadu registration department install fingerprint scanners to combat fraud 

Now forging Aadhaar details like fringeprints during the registration of property will become impossible in Tamil Nadu, as the registration departments has implemented a new security measure to combat fraud during the document registration process. All 582 sub-registrar offices in the state now have fingerprint scanner facilities, and the buyers sellers biometrics will be matched again the one crore plus sample date bank they have. This will serve as an additional safety measure to prevent fraud while registering documents. Sinces 2018, the registraion department has collected fringerprints from buyers and sellers, amassing a database of one crore fringerprints. For individuals whose fringerprints are not in thje database, the existing Aadhaar verification process will be used. We are already doing Aadhaar verification for registration , but some people are forging the Aadhaar documents. Commercial taxes and registration minister P Moorthy inaugurated the facility in Chennai on Thursday. Property consultants point out that this a good move. "This will prevent registration of unclaimed property using forged documents. This will protect buyers, but this should be monitored properly," said S Ramprabhu, CMDA and DTCP committee chairman, Builders Association of India (BAI).
