Akshaya Tritiya proved to be a golden opportunity not just for jewellers but also for Tamil Nadu's real estate sector. On Wednesday, the state registration department recorded a historic high with registration of 27,440 property documents in a single day and generating a record-breaking revenue of Rs 272.87 crore. According to commercial taxes and registration minister P Moorthy, the occasion marked the most lucrative single day in the department's history, surpassing the previous record set on Feb 10, 2025, when 23,421 documents were registered, yielding 237.98 crore. Traditionally celebrated as an auspicious day for buying gold and launching new ventures, Akshaya Tritiya has increasingly become a preferred occasion for property investments. In anticipation of the heightened demand, the department implemented several proactive measures. Based on public feedback, it expanded pre-booking slots across registration offices. Offices with one sub-registrar increased capacity from 100 to 150 slots, while those with two sub-registrars increased slots from 200 to 300. At 100 high-volume offices, regular booking slots were raised from 100 to 150. The number of immediate booking slots was also increased from 12 to 16 to facilitate smoother public access. These steps helped streamline operations and ensured that the surge in footfall on the auspicious day did not disrupt the registration process. Chennai topped the list in the state and South Chennai witnessed more registrations within the city, said an official from the registration department. A Mohammed Ali, president of CREDAI Chennai, said market sentiment remains strong. "Many home buyers prefer registering property on Akshaya Tritiya, and we've seen a rise in enquiries for home purchases on this date.
