The Revenue and Forest Department has issued a government decision approving a revised structure for the Registration and Stamps Department, resulting in the creation of 965 new posts and increasing the total number of sanctioned positions to 3,952. This development has paved the way for likely recruitment in the department soon.
According to the government decision dated December 4, 2025, the new structure adds 965 posts while cancelling 107 of the existing 3,094 sanctioned positions. Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule had issued the necessary directives for this restructuring.
The expansion was proposed by Additional Chief Secretary Vikas Kharge, considering the establishment of new sub-registrar offices, the rising number of files, and the growing workload. The revised structure aims to enhance the department’s capability, efficiency, and overall strength. With adequate manpower, it is expected to help the department meet annual targets and significantly contribute to state revenue growth.
Inspector General of Registration Binwade expressed confidence that the decision will accelerate efforts to provide faster and higher-quality services to citizens. He also noted that the department, being the second-largest revenue generator for the state, had been awaiting structural reforms since 2016.
