To make the system of change of name of property transparent, the Karnal Municipal Corporation is going to adopt a new mechanism in a couple of days. According to the authorities, the new mechanism would help in reducing fraudulent change of name. In the recent past, several litigations over name change through “fake documents” were filed, affecting the image of the MC as well as the employees. In the new mechanism, the power to change of name of the owner or occupier for the purpose of tax will be upgraded to a higher official. It is presently with the executive officer. Besides, before changing the name, notices would be served to all the persons who have remained owners or occupiers of the property to file any objections and claims regarding change of name within 15 days of receiving the notice, said Dr Manoj Kumar, Commissioner, Karnal MC. The seller and buyer will have to submit affidavits along with the copy of the registration. The affidavits should be attested by notary or the oath commissioner. Before changing the name of the owner or occupier, a fact-finding report will also be submitted by the Tehsildar or Kanungo of the civic body after visiting the site.In case notice could not be served, the applicant will have to publish a proclamation notice in two daily newspapers in two languages Hindi and English.Meanwhile, the Commissioner further said with this system, there would be no chance of the fraudu- lent change of the name of any property.
