There are six Flying Squads, one at each Zonal headquarters, consisting of one Assistant District Registrar, one Deputy Executive Engineer, and headed by a Deputy Collector to conduct inspection of properties to detect suppression of facts and collect deficit stamp duty, if any. The other officers have also been authorised to conduct inspections to detect under-valuation of properties, and to compound such offences or launch prosecution against the offenders. There are six Vigilance Cells, one at each zonal headquarters, headed by a Vigilance Officer. The Vigilance Officers conduct surprise inspections of Sub-Registry Offices to ensure proper functioning of the offices, and they also conduct enquiries into the complaints given by the public.
