Now, important documents like property agreements, rental agreements, inheritance certificates, and others can be registered at any of the six District Registrar offices in Mumbai, regardless of the area.
The Revenue Department has made a major change by removing the regional jurisdiction restriction for document registration. This move will save time and effort for Mumbai residents, who previously had to visit a specific office based on the location of the property or business.
Now, citizens can register their documents at any of the following six offices: Mumbai City, Andheri, Kurla, Borivali, and the two offices near the Old Custom House, including the main stamp office.
Earlier, registration was only allowed in the office that matched the area of residence or business. This rule has now been scrapped. Due to the earlier regional restrictions, people had to travel long distances, wait in queues, and spend a lot of time. But with the new system, they can register documents at any nearby office as per their convenience.
The Revenue Department has also issued an official gazette notification, and the change has been implemented immediately. This new facility comes as a big relief ahead of Diwali.
In another update, the time required for land measurement, which used to take 90 to 160 days, has now been reduced to 30 days. Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule recently announced this decision.
