Registrar / PropertyChennai (Periamet), Tamil Nadu

Note: FileMyRTI is not a government website and is not affiliated with this office. This guide helps citizens file an RTI application relating to this office through the correct legal route.

Quick answer

Yes - you can file an RTI relating to the Registrar Office at Periamet, Chennai. Registration offices in Tamil Nadu are public authorities under the Registration Department - address the RTI to the PIO of the concerned office. Use RTI for stuck documents, unexplained objections, refund status and file-movement details; use the official TNREGINET route first for routine EC/certified copies.

Good to know: For routine encumbrance certificates and certified copies, try the official TNREGINET portal first - use RTI when that route fails or you need reasons and accountability.

What citizens usually ask this office through RTI

Sample RTI questions (edit the bracketed details)

Provide the current status and complete file movement details of document number [number] presented at the Registrar Office, Periamet on [date].

State the reasons for the objection/hold placed on document number [number], with copies of the notes recording that decision.

Provide the status of my refund application dated [date] and the officer with whom it is currently pending.

Provide a certified copy of document number [number], year [year], registered at this office.

Keep questions specific and factual. Do not include anyone else's personal details, and ask for records/status/reasons rather than opinions.

Who to address it to (identifying the PIO)

Address the RTI to the PIO of the concerned Registrar / Sub Registrar Office under the Tamil Nadu Registration Department. Use FindMyPIO or let FileMyRTI identify the correct PIO.

How to file: online or by post

Tamil Nadu has an official online RTI portal (rtionline.tn.gov.in - fee Rs. 10, Internet Banking / ATM-cum-Debit card; online filing covers Secretariat departments and offices where implemented). Registration-department field offices may need the postal route. See our Tamil Nadu portal help.

For the postal route - including how to attach the fee - see how to file an RTI offline (by post). Always keep the Speed Post / registered post receipt as proof.

If this office is not listed on the portal

Look for the parent department the office sits under; if it is genuinely not available online, file by post to the PIO. Use Section 6(3) transfer only after a reasonable effort to identify the correct authority - see Section 6(3) explained.

If there is no reply in 30 days

The PIO is ordinarily required to respond within 30 days under Section 7(1) of the RTI Act. If there is no proper response, file a First Appeal with the First Appellate Authority of the same public authority; if that fails, a Second Appeal lies with the State Information Commission. FileMyRTI helps with the First Appeal route - see the Appeal Generator.
