Can't Sell Or Buy Property Without E-Property Pass Book Registration?

E-Property Pass Book (EPPB):

You may have received a forward message on social media and messengers that states that from 1/4/2017 all properties are invalid for one year and that you can't sell or buy any property until u register your properties in the E-Property Pass book.

The message states:

• EPPB will be linked with PAN, Aadhar online.
• Owner has to personally report with ownership proof to Sub Registrar office where spl officers will enter all your property details in EPPB.
• Once it is entered in EPPB  your properties will become yours.
• They will have one more spl counter for emergency sellers, mortgagers, buyers where they can do exchange of properties but with full details of all properties.
• Upto 31/3/2018 all properties will be entered in EPPB.
• From 1/4/2018 Govt will take over the properties not entered in EPPB .
• Real Estate Surgical Strike on Black Assets!

We have checked with our sources and can confirm now that this forwarded message circulating on Whatsapp is not correct. Its a fake forwarded message. You may disregard it for now but we cannot rule out this move by our Govt. in future. So do keep an eye on this.
