He said instead of implementing the scheme, many were outraged that they were trying to create all sorts of problems. CM Jagan directed the authorities to create awareness among the people about the OTS. He said debts are forgiven and registration is also done for free. He said that the burden of nearly Rs. 10,000 crore on the poor was being removed.

"We are giving absolute rights in all forms through OTS‌," YS Jagan said. The chief minister further clarified that there is also the right to mortgage and sell for necessities.

It was revealed that orders have been issued cancelling stamp duty, transfer duty, and user fees for OTS users. Officials said that the registration work is being done in the village and ward secretariats.
