By leveraging digital technology, we aim to provide faster, transparent, and hassle-free registration services while maintaining the highest legal sanctity.”

The Hiranandani Group was the first private developer to adopt this system. Dr Niranjan Hiranandani, Founder & Chairman of Hiranandani Communities, said, “We are proud to be the first movers in adopting this forward-looking reform. The E-Registration initiative will significantly reduce transactional friction and boost ease of doing business for domestic & NRI homebuyers.”
