Property registration in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Nagpur is set to become faster and more streamlined with the launch of three technology-enabled Model Sub-Registrar Offices (SROs), aimed at simplifying the registration process and improving the citizen experience.
The new offices have been established at Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Nagpur by the Government of Maharashtra in partnership with VFS Global and WE Excel Software Pvt. Ltd. The initiative builds on the successful launch of Maharashtraโs first Model Sub-Registrar Office in Pune.
The new centres will facilitate the registration of a range of property-related and legal documents, including sale deeds, lease deeds, gift deeds, powers of attorney and wills, among others.
Designed as modern, citizen-centric facilities, the Model SROs integrate digital infrastructure with a streamlined service delivery model. The initiative is intended to reduce waiting times, improve operational efficiency and make the registration process more convenient for citizens.
The centres also incorporate end-to-end digital systems aimed at enhancing transparency and service delivery while maintaining regulatory and governance standards.
With the expansion of the Model SRO initiative to Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Nagpur, the Maharashtra government is seeking to extend a more efficient and technology-driven.
Ravindra Binwade, Inspector General of Registration (IGR), Government of Maharashtra, said, โFollowing the successful launch of Maharashtra’s first Model Sub-Registrar Office in Pune, we are pleased to expand this citizen-centric initiative to Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Nagpur. These centres have been designed to provide a faster, more transparent and more convenient property registration experience through modern infrastructure, digital systems and streamlined service delivery. By reducing waiting times and enhancing service standards, we are making government services more accessible and efficient for citizens while maintaining strong governance and oversight. This expansion is another important step in our commitment to modernizing registration services across Maharashtra.โ
In early 2026, VFS Global, in consortium with WE Excel Software Pvt. Ltd., had won a five-year contract from the Inspector General of Registration (IGR) and Controller of Stamps under the Government of Maharashtra to launch 60 state-of-the-art Model Sub-Registrar Offices (SROs) across the state in a phased manner. The consortium will undertake the endโtoโend setup of Model SubโRegistrar Offices across Maharashtra, deploying cuttingโedge digital infrastructure and trained service delivery teams to modernise property registration services. These centres would be an optional service and government offices will continue to operate.
