Maharashtra to Launch One State, One Registration Scheme by April
Maharashtra is set to revolutionize its property registration process with the introduction of the 'One State, One Registration' scheme by the end of April 2025. This initiative will allow citizens to register land or property documents at any sub-registrar office across the state, irrespective of the property's location.
At Rathi Global Realty Services, we believe this reform will significantly benefit homebuyers and investors by simplifying the documentation process and enhancing accessibility.
Key Highlights of the Scheme
- Statewide Accessibility: Residents can execute property transactions at their local sub-registrar office without traveling to the property's location. For instance, a Mumbai resident can register a property situated in Pune without the need to visit Pune.
- Infrastructure Upgrades: The Department of Registration and Stamps, in collaboration with the National Informatics Centre, is enhancing hardware and software systems. This upgrade aims to equip all 519 sub-registrar offices in Maharashtra to handle documents from any location within the state.
- Digital Expansion: E-registration for first-sale properties by builders is already in place. The department plans to broaden digital services to further reduce footfall in registration offices.
Benefits for Citizens
- Convenience: Eliminates the need for long-distance travel and associated expenses, making the registration process more accessible.
- Efficiency: Aims to decongest busy registration offices and expedite processing times.
- Resource Optimization: The department is assessing office utilization patterns. Underperforming offices may be closed, and new ones may be established in districts lacking adequate facilities.
