The Maharashtra state registration department is gearing up to modernize 100 sub-registrar offices in a bid to improve infrastructure and address complaints from citizens about inadequate facilities. The second phase of the department’s infrastructure upgrade initiative will see renovations that include new furniture, fixtures, and interior upgrades to create a better working environment for both staff and citizens.
The government has allocated ₹10 crore for the project, with two to three offices in every district set to undergo refurbishment. The plan, which was initially proposed just before the state assembly elections, now requires re-approval from the newly appointed revenue minister.
Citizens and activists have long been advocating for improvements in property registration offices, citing issues such as cramped spaces, lack of seating arrangements, and high footfall in urban centers like Pune. While activists support the renovation plan, they stress the need for new offices to cater to the growing population.
The modernization plan is part of a broader vision to streamline property registration services across Maharashtra, with expected benefits including enhanced efficiency, improved citizen experience, and standardization across districts. With the revenue minister’s approval expected soon, the project could see implementation in the coming months, marking a critical step towards addressing long-standing issues in the property registration system.
