Property registrations in Pune and across Maharashtra have been disrupted by a technical glitch in the Aadhaar verification system, affecting e-registrations since August 6. The online system, crucial for efficient property transactions, has failed, forcing homebuyers and developers to visit sub-registrar offices in person. This has led to significant delays and increased footfall at these offices, creating bottlenecks in the registration process. Developers, who typically use e-registration for multiple properties, are particularly impacted, as manual processing slows transactions. The registration department is working to resolve the issue but has not provided a timeline, leaving property buyers and developers in a state of uncertainty as they await the restoration of online services.
Property registrations in Pune and across Maharashtra have been thrown into disarray due to a technical glitch in the Aadhaar verification system. Since August 6, this issue has affected the e-registration of property documents, forcing many homebuyers and developers to visit sub-registrar offices in person to complete the process. The breakdown in the online system has created significant delays in property transactions, adding pressure on the state's registration services.
The e-registration system, which allows for convenient online processing of property documents, relies heavily on Aadhaar verification to authenticate the identities of the parties involved. However, the recent malfunction has made it impossible for users to complete their registrations online, including those being processed from developers' offices. As a result, property transactions that would normally be handled quickly and efficiently through digital means are now being done manually.
According to an official from the registration department, this technical breakdown has led to a significant increase in the number of people visiting sub-registrar offices across the state. These offices have experienced a surge in footfall, as both individual property buyers and real estate developers attempt to push through their paperwork despite the system's failure.
The inconvenience has been particularly troublesome for developers, who usually rely on the e-registration system to streamline the registration process for multiple properties at once. With the system down, they are forced to send representatives to sub-registrar offices, which has slowed down the overall pace of property transactions and created bottlenecks in the registration pipeline.
Meanwhile, homebuyers, already navigating the complexities of purchasing property, have had to endure additional stress as they shift from the convenience of online registration to the time-consuming process of visiting a government office. Many are worried about potential delays in completing their transactions, which could impact their legal rights over the property or the availability of loans and other financial arrangements.
The registration department has acknowledged the problem and assured the public that efforts are underway to resolve the issue. However, there is no clear timeline for when the glitch in the Aadhaar verification system will be fixed, leaving property buyers and developers in a state of uncertainty.
Despite these challenges, the department remains optimistic that the online services will be restored soon, and they are exploring potential workarounds to mitigate the disruption. In the meantime, sub-registrar offices continue to bear the brunt of the increased workload as they try to accommodate the rising number of walk-in registrations.
The breakdown in online property registrations has highlighted the dependency on digital systems and the need for backup solutions in the event of technical failures. As Pune and other cities across Maharashtra wait for the issue to be resolved, property buyers and developers are hoping for a swift resolution to avoid further delays and complications in their transactions.
