Maharashtra Government to Issue Individual Property Cards for Flat Owners

Read Time:-2 Min

The Maharashtra Government has declared its intention to provide individual property cards to all apartment owners in the state.

Currently, property cards in Maharashtra record details only of the landowner or housing society, leaving out information about individual flat owners in multi-storey buildings. To address this gap, the state has decided to introduce a new system of “Vertical Property Cards”, which will contain details of each flat owner, their respective share of the land, and other relevant ownership data.

To implement this initiative, the government has constituted an eight-member committee chaired by Vikas Kharge, Additional Chief Secretary of the Revenue Department. The committee comprises representatives from several departments, including Cooperation, Urban Development, Law and Judiciary, Rural Development, and Registration and Stamps, as well as the Settlement Commissioner and the Director of Land Records. The Joint Secretary of Land Survey will serve as the member-secretary of the panel.

Mandate of the Committee 

The committee has been tasked with drafting the Vertical Property Rules, which will define the framework for registering and maintaining records of individual property ownership in multi-storey buildings.

Its responsibilities include:

Studying similar vertical property ownership laws in other states.

Reviewing previous proposals submitted by the Settlement Commissioner’s office.

Preparing a legal and administrative structure to integrate flat ownership data into Maharashtra’s existing land records system.

The committee is expected to submit its recommendations within a month.
