Tamil Nadu closes 100 sub-registrar offices on Saturdays, reversing DMK order

The Tamil Nadu government has announced that 100 sub-registrar offices, previously operating on Saturdays, will now remain closed on weekends. This reverses a government order issued during the previous DMK administration. The decision cancels the earlier mandate requiring Saturday work at these high-volume offices. The government stated the move aims to reduce the workload of sub-registrars, following the introduction and planned expansion of a no-attendance online document registration system. The current TVK government indicated it intends to eventually make all document registration paperless and fully online. This change comes after the new administration assumed power and reviewed the previous order.
