5 User-Friendly Govt Sites That Click With Home Buyers
Information-seekers have to brave slow-loading sites, too many clicks, irrelevant pages and many other difficulties if they log on to a government website. While it is mandated that government and its agencies provide easy access to information to the public, this task is not easily achieved by users. Further, the search button on most of these sites is non-functional and your attempts to find results are likely to end in vain. But if you are a home buyer looking for information to help you in your home-purchase journey, there are some useful government websites to guide you.
As India plans to go digital and the internet is becoming the backbone of all operations, it is a must for all government and related agencies to put their acts together. These websites of civic and development authorities can show the way in this.
PropGuide lists five such websites where home seekers can find it relatively easy to dig out information on vital aspects of home purchase in various cities.
Delhi Development Authority
The website of Delhi's development body is one of the most user-friendly platforms. Information on http://dda.org.in/ is clearly defined and categorised. Going a step further, the Delhi Development Authority has dedicated a tab to FAQs (frequently asked questions) on various segments. While a user can find all the information in English as well as Hindi, the search button on the site will show you results.
Gurgaon Administration
The website of the Gurgaon city administration, http://gurgaon.gov.in/, is a proof why the Millennium City is loved by outsiders. Not only does the site you give all the information that you might need but it also leads you in the right direction if you need to know more about other services. The home page of the site has a tap called Key Contacts, where the phone numbers of all relevant officials are listed. Another tap on Gurgaon Map makes it easy for newcomers to familiarise themselves with the city's geography.
Noida Authority
Easy on the eye, the website of the Noida Authority will provide you all the relevant information with detail. As the website covers a great amount of information on its home page itself, you do not have to jump from page to page looking for the right information. On http://www.noidaauthorityonline.com, changes of getting lost are quite low. The site, however, has no search button and the FAQ sections answers only 11 queries.
Department of Stamps and Registration, Karnataka
With the blue-coloured text highlighting it, the website of Karnataka's Department of Stamps and Registration looks clean. Log on to http://202.138.101.165/karigr/ and you are sure to find all the land and property registration related answers quickly. The FAQ tab will open 51 questions and their detailed answers. However, a little bit of reorganisation on the main page would make the website look better.
Registration Department, Tamil Nadu
The beauty of the website of the Tamil Nadu Registration Department, http://www.tnreginet.net, lies in its simple design. Each section on the site is clearly defined and your clicks are likely to lead you in the right direction. The FAQ tab on the site answers 28 questions. The medium of the information available on the site is English.
