Thirty one (31)
sub-registrar offices will be opened in the state, including 6 (six) in Pune,
to off load the burden of ever-increasing property registration work. A
proposal seeking additions to the existing 464 offices across the Maharashtra
state is under consideration.
Inspector General of
Registration (IGR) & Controller of
Stamps of the state Mr. S Chockalingam, "The second highest revenue
generating office in the state is going for a make over as all the offices are
being modernized with computers and internet connectivity. At present, one
needs to spend over half an hour at the sub-registrar's office to register an
agreement. The changes are aimed at completing property registration process in
minimum time."
The IGR processed
23,13,484 property documents which fetched a revenue of Rs. 14,500 crore during
2011-12. In the previous fiscal, the office had processed 23,18,618 property
documents and collected Rs. 13,413 crore.
Mr. Chockalingam also
said, "There is tremendous pressure on all sub-registrar offices as there
has been a steady increase in property deals, purchase & sale deeds, leave
and licence agreements. The department finds it difficult to get proper place
for setting up new offices to absorb the increasing workload. The department
has already received permission for setting up 29 offices in Mumbai, Thane
& Pune, of which 6 are in Pune city.
2 of them have started functioning. The 31 new offices proposed are in rest of
the Maharashtra, excluding these 3 districts"
Mr. Chockalingam added
"The IGR office has decided to run its office in two shifts (7 AM
to 2 PM & 2 PM to 9 PM) for working
people who are short of time. One such office is at Kothrud, besides those in
Mumbai & Thane that run on a pilot
basis."
