In Ahmedabad, the area for Shant Dhara approval has been increased significantly. As a result, the loss of the property owners has increased. 100% of Poldi properties in Ahmedabad are eligible for clearance under the Ashant Act. However, the government's decision in this regard is having an impact on property deals across Gujarat, as the areas for approval of the Ashant Dhara continue to increase. In fact, a provision has been made to take the permission of Ashant Dhara while deeding the property, renting the property, documenting, transferring the property in the name of the children after the death of the property owner even when one of the children loses his right.

Law experts say that this amendment has been implemented without getting approved in the assembly. A transaction takes place when someone sells a property. It determines the time frame for financial transactions. It is known as Banakht-Satakht. According to Section 17 of the Registration Act 1908, there is a rule of compulsory registration. Even at this stage the Sub-Registrar seeks approval of the Ashant Act, it is wrong. It is clearly written in the deed that the deed does not transfer possession of the property. Possession is transferred at the time of sale of the property. Although the amount of property between the two is fixed, the time limit is fixed, it is illegal to seek the approval of the Ashant Act. It encourages corruption. Nowadays, if you don't pay for corruption, you don't approve. If you give money, it is approved. The system of seeking approval is contrary to the statutory provision. It is seen that it takes up to 30 days to get the approval of Ashantdhara. However, there are also allegations of corruption on the rise as prominent professionals get their approval as they wish.

Even though there is one or two Muslim societies in Nawarangpura, Ahmedabad, all the properties within 500 meters of its premises have to get the permission of Ashant Dhara. As a result, property cannot be freely bought or sold in this area. It has been made mandatory to take his approval at the time of signing, at the time of entering into the contract of sale and at the time of documenting. As a result, commercial property deals have also become difficult to do. In all cases except in the case of mortgaging the property or in the case of releasing the mortgage and making a will, it is mandatory to take the permission of the Ashant Act.

Property market insiders say that the Ashant Dharo is designed to prevent people from the same community from congregating in one area and grabbing the property of other communities at the cost of water. In order to ensure that no one is unfairly treated in the purchase or sale of property, a system of approval of the Ashant Act has been introduced in the new area.

The system for taking property history has also been made online. There is a bug in the system software. If there is a flat of 175 in it, there is a possibility that the details of survey number 175 will also come. As a result, there is a possibility of getting the property history wrong. For the common man, taking the online history of the property is prone to error. Government takes no responsibility for this error. There is no objection to making this arrangement online, but if someone makes a demand for it before the government, the government should arrange to delete that data in its own way.
