Property buyers in Maharashtra will soon have access to 60 new model property sub-registrar offices which promises quicker property registration time. The Maharashtra government said these new model property sub-registrar offices will be operated by government offices but a private party, VFS Global, will manage them. It’s important to note that using these new model offices is completely optional and the old sub-registrar office will continue to operate simultaneously.
In a press release dated May 5, 2026, VFS global said they have joined hands with WE Excel Software Pvt. Ltd. Together they secured 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 to streamline and digitally transform property registration into a fast, transparent, and citizen-centric system.
