Officials have been instructed to carry out property deed registrations in a transparent manner and strictly without any irregularities, the state’s commercial tax and registration department said on Thursday. Directions have been issued to ensure that no official working in registrar offices accepts bribes, and it has been made clear that anyone found involved in malpractice will face strict disciplinary action.

Speaking to reporters during a visit to Rasipuram, the minister stated that firm steps are being taken to ensure honesty and accountability in registration offices across the state. The government, he said, is committed to maintaining a clean and people-oriented administration, with a focus on eliminating corruption at all levels.

The minister further said that the state government would urge the central government to reduce the Goods and Services Tax (GST) to ease the burden on traders and the general public. He added that reasonable demands raised by trader associations would be accepted and formally presented at the GST Council meeting, along with a request for suitable relief measures.

Referring to constituency-level development, the minister said that several long-pending and complex issues faced by residents would be resolved. Necessary infrastructure and public facilities would be provided, and efforts would be taken to ensure the overall development of the constituency, with the aim of transforming it into a prosperous region.
