Tenants registering their leave and licence agreements will soon be exempt from visiting police stations for verification as the state registration department plans to integrate data from all the 1,130 police stations across Maharashtra by February-end, as per registration department officials.
The rollout, initially delayed due to software updates, will connect the registration department’s database with police stations across 44,000 villages. “Technical glitches and software updates were the key issues, but the new e-registration system for tenants along with online verification will be implemented across Maharashtra,” a senior registration department official said.
State registration department officials confirmed that mapping of police stations with the village-level data is underway. The upgraded system, replacing the 2019 version, will now require additional information including tenants’ five-year residential history and permanent address.
The new system ensures citizens won’t have to physically visit police stations for verification. Police stations will have access to e-registration data from across the state.
