Property registration in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Nagpur becomes faster and efficient with Model Sub-Registrar Offices

Three new technology-enabled Model Sub-Registrar Offices (SROs) launched in Mumbai (Bandra Kurla Complex), Navi Mumbai, and Nagpur

• Services include property-related documents such as sale deeds, lease deeds, gift deeds, powers of attorney, and wills, among others

• Modern, citizen-centric centres designed to reduce waiting times and simplify the registration process

• End-to-end digital infrastructure and streamlined service delivery model to enhance efficiency, transparency and citizen experience

Building on the successful launch of Maharashtra's first Model Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) in Pune, the Government of Maharashtra, in partnership with VFS Global and WE Excel Software Pvt. Ltd., has expanded the initiative with the launch of three new Model Sub-Registrar Offices in Mumbai (Bandra Kurla Complex), Navi Mumbai and Nagpur.

Residents of Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Nagpur will now be able to register their property-related documents such as sale deeds, lease deeds, gift deeds, powers of attorney, wills and other documents, in a modern and comfortable environment through newly launched Model Sub-Registrar Offices (SROs).

Designed to make property registration faster, simpler and more convenient, the new centres combine modern infrastructure, digital systems and citizen-focused service delivery to enhance the overall registration experience. The centres seek to improve efficiency, reduce waiting times and ensure greater transparency while maintaining the highest standards of governance and regulatory compliance.

 Ravindra Binwade, Inspector General of Registration (IGR), Government of Maharashtra, said, “Following the successful launch of Maharashtra's first Model Sub-Registrar Office in Pune, we are pleased to expand this citizen-centric initiative to Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Nagpur. These centres have been designed to provide a faster, more transparent and more convenient property registration experience through modern infrastructure, digital systems and streamlined service delivery. By reducing waiting times and enhancing service standards, we are making government services more accessible and efficient for citizens while maintaining strong governance and oversight. This expansion is another important step in our commitment to modernizing registration services across Maharashtra.”

 In early 2026, VFS Global, in consortium with WE Excel Software Pvt. Ltd., had won 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. The consortium will undertake the end‑to‑end setup of Model Sub‑Registrar Offices across Maharashtra, deploying cutting‑edge digital infrastructure and trained service delivery teams to modernise property registration services. These centres would be an optional service and government offices will continue to operate.

Four Points by Sheraton Navi Mumbai celebrates World Earth Day, hosts ESG centric activities and invests in the planet

Four Points by Sheraton, a premium hotel in Navi Mumbai, marked World Earth Day 2023 by hosting a range of activities focused on promoting sustainable living and environmental awareness. These initiatives were designed in accordance with this year’s theme for

EARTH DAY, i.e., ‘Invest in Our Planet’ and to encourage the community to act towards a greener future, in line with the hotel’s commitment to making a positive impact on the environment. While issues such as climate change and a decrease in oxygen levels in the atmosphere are a matter of concern, trees are said to be holding the entire planet together by providing enough oxygen to all living creatures. As part of the Earth Day 2023 activities, the hotel distributed 101 saplings to guest and Associates. A custom-made DIY germination kit, curated by ‘Book a Workshop’, was handed out for guest who were travelling and couldn’t carry the pot.

This kit had a pot, soil, and seeds with a QR code on how to start plant parenting at the comfort of their home or office. The tree selected for the activity are native and draught tolerant species that enhances biodiversity of the property and a healthy mix of fruit bearing, flowering and trees that produce the most oxygen, such as Neem, Arjun, and Amla. The hotel also organized a plastics cleaning drive to address the hazardous impact of plastic waste on the environment.

Moreover, the hotel is also promoting sustainable fashion by encouraging hotel associates to upcycle and donate their clothes to the needy. 

The hotel advocated for simple yet effective ways such as ‘Five Things to Consider to Reduce Single-use Plastic & Carbon Emission’ so that individuals can contribute to environmental protection. Additionally, the beverage workshop in partnership with Almitra Sustainables showcased interesting techniques for creating zero waste summer healthy hydrating drink.

Speaking about the Earth Day activities, the Cluster General Manager of Four Points by Sheraton Navi Mumbai, Mr. Stephen D’Souza said, "We at Four Points by Sheraton Navi Mumbai are committed to promoting sustainability and protecting our planet. In September 2022, we became the first hotel in Navi Mumbai to install an Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station in our premises. We have also introduced several initiatives in the past including the introduction of energy-saving techniques and water conservation measures.  Similar to our other sustainability initiatives, the Earth Day activities are designed to inspire the community to take action towards a greener future, and we hope to make a positive impact on the environment and the community." 

Four Points by Sheraton Navi Mumbai is guided by Chalet Hotels Limited’s alignment with RE100, EP100, and EV100 initiatives linked to renewable electricity, energy efficiency, and electric mobility, respectively.

World Earth Day is a global event held annually on 22nd April aimed at raising awareness and promoting action to protect the environment. This year’s theme was ‘Invest in Our Planet’ which focused on engaging governments, institutions, businesses, and more than 1 billion citizens who participate annually in Earth Day to do their part – everyone accounted for, everyone accountable.
