- If you are unsure, contact the department or check the official circular linked below
The Registration and Stamp Department in Maharashtra has issued a fresh circular informing applicants that the place where they must get their recruitment documents verified has been moved. While the notice mainly concerns the hiring of Shipai (clerical staff), the same department handles stamp duty and registration for property deals, so it’s worth understanding the update.
What the Official Notice Says
The Inspector General of Registration & Stamps (IGR Maharashtra) released a circular titled *"नोंदणी व मुद्रांक विभागातील शिपाई भरतीतील कागदपत्रे पडताळणी ठिकाणात बदल सूचना"* (Change of Document Verification Location for Shipai Recruitment). It states that, effective from the date mentioned in the circular, all applicants must submit their recruitment paperwork for verification at the newly designated centre. The notice does not alter any stamp duty or registration fee structures; it only redirects the verification point.
Why This Matters to Homeowners and Plot Owners
Even if you are not applying for a Shipai position, the same department processes your property registration. Knowing that the verification office has moved helps you: - Avoid unnecessary travel to the old address. - Ensure any paperwork you submit that requires departmental verification (e.g., title searches, consent letters) reaches the correct location. - Stay compliant with the latest procedural requirements, reducing the risk of delays in your property transaction.
Practical Steps You Should Take
- Check the official circular for the exact new address and working hours.
- If you have pending recruitment documents, re‑submit them at the new centre.
- For property‑related paperwork, confirm with your lawyer or the local sub‑registrar whether the change affects your filing process.
- Keep a copy of the circular (linked at the end) for future reference.
- Use the current stamp duty and registration rates—these remain unchanged.
