Maharashtra to Launch 60 Digitally Enabled Model Sub-Registrar Offices for Property Registration

Maharashtra has awarded a five-year contract to a consortium led by VFS Global and WE Excel Software Pvt Ltd to establish 60 model sub-registrar offices aimed at digitizing and streamlining property registration. These centers will feature modern infrastructure, digital systems, and trained staff to improve efficiency, reduce waiting times, and enhance user experience. While the government retains regulatory control, the initiative leverages private-sector expertise to address delays and congestion in existing offices.
