Digital India – it’s the turn of Maharashtra property records

Good news for the citizen of Maharashtra as the state government has developed a system in which land records would be available in public domain. Investors and property buyers will have the option to apply online in order to check all records of the land they are dealing in.

The Chief Secretary of the state, Swadhin Kshatriya revealed that The Maharashtra Government has digitized land records both in rural and urban areas. “The state government is scanning land title documents worth Rs 228 crore to trace the land history. In addition, we are also collecting information on various land parcels in Maharashtra,” Kshatriya told while addressing an event in Mumbai.

“The state is also working on a scheme of ‘property cards’ for rural and urban areas. The card will contain information of land in the past 5 years,” he further said.

The system is expected to be operational by July 2016.
