The time taken to deliver the documents by email will now be brought down from the earlier 48 hours to 24 hours, or the next day, officials said.

PUNE: The state property registration department, as part of efforts to increase e-registration of new properties from developers' offices and ease rush at registration counters, is planning to ensure buyers get their registered documents by the next working day.

Department officials said they're expecting a surge in registrations before Diwali, especially e-registration of first-sale units from developers' offices.

The time taken to deliver the documents by email will now be brought down from the earlier 48 hours to 24 hours, or the next day, officials said.

"We're thinking of reducing the time taken for delivery of documents. This will encourage more developers to adopt e-registration. The new software is working well so it is possible for more developers to participate in the process," said state Inspector General of registration and stamps Shravan Hardikar.

"Currently, only 10 documents are e-registered daily across the state from developers' offices. We are hoping to take that number to 100 within the next three months," he said, adding that a set of six e-registrars will ensure there is speedy disposal of registrations.

Deputy IGR (IT) Suhas Mapari said buyers will be sent the registration documents and index-2 by mail the very next day.

"A dashboard has been created to monitor these e-registrations. It will also record the number of daily documents clearance," he said.

A citizen registering from the developer's office will get an intimation via SMS, or email and the information can be moved to the person's DigiLocker, Mapari added.
