Having property in your name boosts your confidence, and the remaining funds strengthen your family's financial plans.

Rachna Soni shares her experience under the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan', calls fee concession for women a useful initiative

Raipur, September 21, 2026 / When the benefits of the government's public welfare policies simplify a family's financial planning, their impact is visible not only on paper but also in the family's future. For Rachna Soni of Bilaspur, a 50 percent discount on registration fees for property registration in women's names provided such an opportunity. Registering her property in her name saved her approximately 35,000 rupees. Rachna Soni explained that this fee relief reduced the cost of property registration and provided financial relief to her family.

In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a developed India and Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai's vision of a developed Chhattisgarh, various reforms are being undertaken under the guidance of Finance and Registration Minister O.P. Choudhary to make registration services simple, accessible, and convenient for citizens. In this vein, a 50 percent concession in registration fees is being provided to encourage property registration in the name of women. Under the "Seva Sankalp Abhiyan," the Registration Department is directly interacting with beneficiaries to understand the ground impact of these initiatives, their experiences, and their suggestions.

Reduced registry costs, providing financial relief to the family

Mrs. Rachna Soni explained that the 50 percent discount on registration fees when transferring property to her name saved her 35,000 rupees. She said this savings is a significant relief for her family compared to the costs of purchasing or registering property. This has reduced the financial burden of registration, while the remaining funds can be used for other family needs and future financial planning.

For Rachna Soni, this benefit went beyond simply reducing fees. Registering property in her name gave her the experience of property ownership and strengthened her participation in financial decisions. She said that such initiatives connecting women with property ownership help them become more financially secure and confident.

Registration fee reduced from 4% to 2%

The registration fee on documents related to the transfer of immovable property in favor of women has been reduced from 4 percent to 2 percent. This provides women with a 50 percent registration fee concession. This aims to encourage property registration in women's names and provide them with direct financial benefits.

Rachna Soni's story highlights the impact of this initiative on the ground. Saving ₹35,000 is a financial relief for her during the registration process, but owning a property in her own name also brings her financial security and confidence.

Stories of change emerging from 'Seva Sankalp'

Under the "Seva Sankalp Abhiyan," the department is engaging directly with beneficiaries to understand how governance services and reforms are impacting citizens' lives. Rachna Soni's experience demonstrates that when policy benefits reach families directly, they manifest in savings, convenience, and confidence.

This initiative, which encourages property registration in women's names, is not only financially beneficial but also important in increasing women's property ownership. Expressing gratitude to Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai and Finance and Registration Minister O.P. Chaudhary for this facility, Rachna Soni said that this concession in property registration for women is a useful step towards their economic empowerment.
