As per the Maharashtra Right to Public Services Act, no offline applications will be accepted henceforth.

Under this new system, citizens must submit online applications for services related to multiple departments, including:

Development Permission Department

Building construction permissions

Land measurement certificates

Occupancy certificates

Various technical approvals

Transfer of flats or plots

Inheritance (succession) entries

All these services fall under the Right to Public Services Act, making it mandatory for the administration to deliver services within a stipulated time frame.

Boost to Efficiency and Citizen Convenience

The initiative is expected to make PMRDA’s functioning more transparent, accountable, and citizen-oriented.
