Nearly 75% of districts recorded annual growth of more than 20% in property registrations by women, with Janjgir-Champa, Balod, Korea, Raipur and Kanker among the districts reporting notable gains. The registration fee rebate also provided citizens with a direct financial benefit of approximately Rs 50.14 crore, while encouraging greater property ownership among women.
Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai said that increasing women’s property ownership is a key step towards social justice and inclusive development, as it enhances their economic security while strengthening their status and decision-making role within families and society. He said the initiative has benefited a large number of families and reflects the government’s commitment to making women self-reliant, empowered and equal partners in the state’s development.
Finance and Commercial Tax (Registration) Minister Shri OP Choudhary said that the significant rise in property registrations in women’s names reflects a broader social and economic transformation.
