The “Embossing of Documents” application, developed within the ServicePlus Framework by NIC Punjab, represents a groundbreaking advancement in property transactions for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in Punjab, India. Launched by Punjab’s Hon’ble Chief Minister, Shri Bhagwant Mann, on July 24, 2023, this application marks a crucial milestone in improving administrative efficiency and transparency in the state.
The significance of this application was underscored by the presence of esteemed dignitaries at the launch event, including Shri Brahm Shankar Sharma, Minister of Revenue, Shri Anurag Verma, Chief Secretary Punjab, Shri K.P. Sinha, Financial Commissioner, Punjab, and Shri Vivek Verma, DDG & SIO Punjab, along with other high-ranking officials. These attendees witnessed the transformative potential of this service in revolutionizing property transactions for NRIs.
The primary purpose of the “Embossing of Documents” Application is to empower NRIs to authorize individuals in India to execute property sales on their behalf. What sets this application apart is its seamless automation, which enables the swift submission of authorization applications to relevant officers across 29 locations, including the DC Office, Divisional Commissioner, and FCR (State) office, all while adhering to specified conditions.
A notable feature is the user’s ability to schedule visits for document scrutiny at their preferred location with dedicated slot booking for all 29 sites. This flexibility extends to final document embossing. Integration with
Punjab’s IFMS streamlines payments, enabling direct fee submission to the revenue department’s account, eliminating third-party steps, reducing reconciliation efforts, and enhancing financial efficiency.
The success of the “Embossing of Documents” service is a result of dedicated collaboration led by Shri Amolak S. Kalsi and Shri Pankaj Jain, with guidance from SIO Punjab. Their commitment guarantees significant benefits for NRIs and all property transaction stakeholders.
