Mumbai Property Owners Get New Online Portal for Seamless Name Transfer and Updates
Mumbai: Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule recently unveiled a new online portal, epsitmumc.mahabhumi.gov.in, designed to streamline the process of submitting applications for name transfer and property card updates for property owners in Mumbai. This innovative portal aims to provide a convenient and efficient solution, enabling residents, including Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), to manage their property-related affairs without the need for in-person visits to government offices.
The portal offers a wide range of services, including the ability to submit applications for various types of property mutations, such as purchase deeds, inheritance, gift deeds, leases, mortgages, road setbacks, reservations, land acquisitions, and other categories. One of the key features of the portal is its zero physical interface, which means that applicants can submit their applications online without standing in queues or making repeated visits to the office.
Transparency is another significant benefit of the new portal. Applicants will receive real-time SMS alerts at every stage of the process, keeping them informed about the status of their applications. This ensures that property owners are always aware of any updates or required actions. Additionally, the portal includes a dedicated login-based dashboard, allowing users to monitor their application status 24/7.
The launch of the portal is a significant step towards digitizing government services and improving the overall efficiency of property management in Mumbai. Revenue Minister Bawankule emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, 'For the first time, 45 types of changes are now available online to citizens in Mumbai City district. This is a major advancement in making government services more accessible and user-friendly.'
While the portal is currently available only to property owners in the city, officials have indicated that there are plans to expand its reach to suburban areas and other parts of the state in the future. For those who may face any issues while using the portal, a help desk is available at the collector's office in Mumbai city to provide assistance and support.
The introduction of this online portal is expected to reduce administrative delays, minimize paperwork, and enhance the overall experience for property owners in Mumbai. It represents a significant leap towards modernizing government services and ensuring that citizens can manage their property-related affairs more conveniently and efficiently.
