MUMBAI – Property transactions in Maharashtra are set to become more seamless with the launch of an online registration system beginning May 1, eliminating the need for buyers and sellers to visit sub-registrar offices, as published by Hindustan Times.
Under the state’s “One State, One Registration” initiative, property registrations can be completed remotely from anywhere in Maharashtra. Buyers purchasing homes in cities such as Nagpur or Pune will be able to finalize registrations from Mumbai or any other location using Aadhaar and Income Tax documents, state Revenue Minister Chandrasekhar Bawankule announced Thursday.
The initiative, which was initially introduced as a pilot project in Mumbai, will now be expanded statewide. Bawankule emphasized that physical presence will no longer be required for online property registrations.
The revenue department is working with the National Informatics Centre to enhance digital infrastructure across all 519 sub-registrar offices in the state. Additionally, a new system, Leave and Licenses 2.0, will be implemented, allowing users to pay stamp duty online with greater ease.
The new digital system will enable buyers and sellers to process transactions remotely without visiting government offices. E-stamp certificates will also be available online, making the process more convenient and efficient.
The initiative, which coincides with Maharashtra’s Foundation Day, is expected to streamline property transactions, reduce bureaucratic delays, and improve efficiency in the real estate sector.
