A Game-Changer for Real Estate Transactions in Maharashtra
As of May 1, 2025, the Maharashtra government has officially launched the ‘One District, One Registration’ initiative—a landmark reform in the property registration process. This initiative is aimed at enhancing convenience and transparency for property buyers and sellers by allowing them to register their documents at any sub-registrar office within the same district, regardless of where the property is located.
This move is part of the government’s larger mission to simplify real estate transactions and reduce bureaucratic red tape across the state.With the new system, property owners can now walk into any sub-registrar office within the same district and get their documents registered—streamlining the entire process.

The broader vision—‘One State, One Registration’—which would allow registration of any property from any location across Maharashtra, is currently delayed due to technical and logistical challenges. The government plans to roll it out in phases over the coming months.

However, as a property consultant practicing in Mumbai, I advise clients to stay informed about the current district-level limitation and plan accordingly. For transactions across different districts, you will still need to follow the traditional method until the statewide system is fully rolled out.
