PUNE — Starting May 1, residents in Pune can now register property documents at any sub-registrar office within the district, regardless of the property’s location, as reported by The Economic Times.
This initiative, known as the One State, One Registration program, is designed to make property registration more convenient and accessible.
Previously, individuals had to visit the sub-registrar office corresponding to the location of their property. With the new system, these jurisdictional restrictions within districts have been eliminated.
The system, which began as a pilot in Mumbai, has now been expanded to all 519 sub-registrar offices across the state. It was first implemented in Mumbai City and Mumbai Suburban, covering 42 offices before being rolled out statewide.
Under the new initiative, citizens living in urban areas can register rural properties at the city’s sub-registrar office, and vice versa, said a senior official from the state’s registration department.
Ravindra Binwade, Inspector General of Registration and Controller of Stamps, explained that under the One District, One Registration system, property owners can now register their documents at any office within the district where the property is located.
The department is also working on expanding the system to allow inter-district registration. This feature would enable people to register properties in one district at offices in another. While the department is addressing some technical issues, officials expect this feature to be available in the coming months.
Additionally, the state has expanded the Faceless Deed Registration System, which was initially launched in Pune Rural for Tenancy Agreement 2.0 in February. This system has now been extended to Mumbai City and Suburban districts.
The new Isarita 2.0 system also supports the online registration of two document types: General Power of Attorney and Adoption Deeds. These can now be registered without visiting any sub-registrar office.
Binwade highlighted that these digital systems save time and help avoid long queues, making property transactions more efficient. According to Abhay Mohite, the department’s Director General of IT, the changes will enhance public services across the state, with plans to add more document types to the faceless system in the near future as part of the state’s push toward digital governance.
