Maharashtra to bring law ensuring transparency in property deals: Bawankule

Maharashtra Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule said the state will introduce a 'land titling' law to ensure transparency in property transactions.

Under the proposed law, each property holder will receive a government-backed digital property card with details of current owner, legal heirs, and land revenue records.

The state will implement 'measurement first, registration later' to require a prior land survey for property transactions.

Flat owners in urban cooperative housing societies will be issued independent 'Vertical Property Cards'.

The law is expected to be finalized during the winter session of the state legislature in Nagpur in December.
