The property registration department of Maharashtra is awaiting the delivery of new software from the National Informatics Centre (NIC) to improve the leave and license registration system. Complaints about technical glitches have been reported since April, and the updated software is expected to resolve these issues and expedite registrations. The president of the association of service providers highlighted the software's potential to streamline the process. In the meantime, citizens have faced delays in receiving complete documents. The property registration department has cleared pending documents but continues to process thousands of registrations daily, raising concerns about the reliability of the old software.
The property registration department is currently facing a delay in receiving the much-needed new software from the National Informatics Centre (NIC), which is aimed at enhancing and streamlining the leave and license registration system. According to sources within the department, the NIC is currently undergoing testing of the software, and it is expected to be shared with the property registration department of the state in the near future.
A senior official from the information technology department of the state expressed optimism about the timely delivery of the software, stating, "We should be able to share the software soon." This development comes as a relief, as numerous complaints regarding tenants' registration have been received since April. The absence of the updated software has resulted in persistent technical glitches that have hindered the smooth functioning of the registration process, as highlighted by a senior official from the property registration department.
Sachin Shingavi, the president of the association of service providers, emphasized the positive impact of the new software on expediting registrations. He explained, "The new software is supposed to streamline the system. The state government is keen on registering the tenants' documents. So, it should speed up the process." This statement reflects the shared anticipation among stakeholders for the software's implementation.
Over the past two months, the property registration department has faced the daunting task of processing more than 30,000 documents. A senior official, who wished to remain anonymous, revealed, "Currently, we have managed to clear the backlog of pending documents. However, on a daily basis, we are registering approximately 4,000 to 5,000 documents from tenants, which need to be processed. We are still reliant on the old software, and there is a lingering concern that it may crash again, exacerbating issues faced by citizens."
The implementation of the new software is eagerly awaited by all parties involved, as it promises to alleviate the challenges faced by both the property registration department and citizens seeking to register their tenancy documents. With the expectation that the National Informatics Centre will soon complete the testing phase and share the updated software, it is hoped that the registration process will be streamlined, technical glitches will be minimized, and citizens' concerns will be promptly addressed.
