The Tamil Nadu government has accorded sanction for setting up Model Registration Hubs (MRH) at five locations across the State in the first phase at a cost of ₹7.84 crore on a pilot basis, with plans to expand the initiative to 20 more locations in subsequent phases.

A Government Order to this effect has been issued by the Commercial Taxes and Registration Department. The MRH will be established in the Chennai North, Chennai Central, Chennai South, Chengalpattu and Coimbatore registration districts in the first phase.

The MRH concept expands the single-window, jurisdiction-free registration facility, enabling citizens to register documents and marriages at any MRH of their choice, irrespective of the territorial jurisdiction of the Sub-Registrar Office concerned over the property or the parties involved, the order said.
