This service can be availed from any location and at any time without visiting the sub Registrar’s office. This service is available to the developers and construction professionals to register an Agreement to sale or first sale of documents from their offices itself. We encourage all developers to adopt this service at the earliest. The department is committed to supporting developers through comprehensive training sessions and dedicated support teams.”
E-registration is legally compliant electronic mode of registration of documents under the Registration Act 1908. Sonawane said e-registration will bring transparency, efficiency in property transactions and enhance accessibility for all stakeholders involved.
