Digital Registration Reforms Transform Housing Societies in Maharashtra
Historic Milestone of e-Government
With full integration of the online application system for registering
housing cooperatives through the portal of Aaple
Sarkar, a historic milestone has been achieved by the cooperative
department of Maharashtra. In a matter of two months, no less than 23 different
societies including prestigious cities like Pune and Kolhapur were able to get
permits through the new system. Actually, the interaction process between
residential societies and government bureaucracy has been transformed
completely through this revolution. Gone are those days when individuals had to
travel time and again to get the job done in a tedious process, as innovative
web environment makes it possible through one-window online facility. No fewer
than 304 individual requests for name reservation of societies have been lodged
within the network.
Process Improvement and Removal of Bottlenecks
There is a decrease in the number of required compliance documents from
29 to 19 documents, which has resulted in eliminating too much of bureaucratic
issues in many ways because of the computerised software. This new system of
registration is far better than the previous one as far as the usability factor
for the non-technical citizen’s panel is concerned because this new system will
not require unnecessary documents such as jurisdiction certificate and domain
search report. The amount of Rs 2,500 as a fee for registration has been easily
paid using the GRAS system. As a result of quick assessment and response of
registrars to the query, along with delivering the electronic registration
certificate in 30 days, this digital system has remained free from middlemen.
Improve Residents’ Association
There are great benefits to the society through improvement of residents'
association. The mentioned companies would assist in handling society money
in the right manner, ease the construction work and also make sure that the
conveyance works defined are carried out smoothly. According to the data
available in the old database, only 1.25 lakh housing societies have been
registered officially by the government. This makes it hard for people living
in urban areas to obtain social protection under the constitution. Citizens
will be able to conduct their development activities, become financially
independent, and also obtain services provided by the municipal experts through
the website.
Summary:
Online portal launched in Maharashtra for registration of housing
societies.
