Maharashtra: Online tenant verification in all police stations by month-end
PUNE : Tenants across the state will soon be spared the hassle of visiting police stations for verification when they rent accommodations once the registration department integrates its data with the police network covering all 1,203 police stations by June-end, registration department officials told TOI on Monday. A senior registration department official said, "Technical glitches and software updates have been resolved. The rollout of the new updated software for e-registration of leave and licence for tenants, along with the online tenant verification system, will be in place by June-end." DIG IT Abhaysinh Mohite explained that the upgraded Leave and Licence 2.0 software will be fully integrated with the police CCTNS network. "This will save citizens from physically visiting police stations. We are rolling out the system in phases across the entire state," he said. The department will send tenant information data to the CCTNS system for those who register the leave and licence process through the IGR application. However, those continuing to register on traditional stamp papers—prevalent in rural areas—will still need to visit police stations. "This is currently an issue and landlords should insist on registering on the portal rather than doing it on stamp paper," the official said. This development follows the recent mandates by additional collectors requiring property owners, especially in the rural areas, to submit comprehensive tenant details, including names, addresses, photographs, and references, at local police stations The urgency for streamlined processes was highlighted recently when Mumbai police filed FIRs against property owners in Kurla and Dadar for failing to upload tenant details on the police website, under Section 223 of BNS, which carries up to one year imprisonment. Sachin Shinghavi, Pune president of Association of Real Estate Agents, said the move is a "long-pending demand." He said that the system encourages proper document registration instead of relying on affidavits, creating a win-win situation for citizens, registration, and police departments. "However, they should ensure that there are no glitches and tenants are not made to wait for days before they can download the online registered document," he added. A registration official noted that the new system exemplifies inter-departmental cooperation for citizen safety and efficient data sharing. Over five years, total registered documents reached nearly 50 lakh, demonstrating the scale of the digital transformation. "The system is good and hopefully the delayed rollout will finally be implemented from next month," Meena N, a tenant who will renew her registration next month, said.

TMC''s P V Anvar declares assets worth over Rs 52 crore in election affidavit
Last Updated: Malappuram(Kerala), Jun 3 (PTI) Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader P V Anvar, who is contesting in the Nilambur assembly bypoll, has declared assets, including both movable and immovable, of over Rs 52 crore and liabilities of Rs 20 crore in the election affidavit filed with his nomination papers on Monday. Anvar has in his affidavit disclosed movable assets of over Rs 18 crore and immovable property worth over Rs 34 crore. In 2021, he had declared assets worth over Rs 64 crore and liabilities of around Rs 17 crore. According to his affidavit, his two wives have total assets, including 1.2 kgs of gold each, worth over Rs 8 crore and Rs 3 crore, respectively. Anvar, who completed his pre-degree (class 11 and 12) education from Kozhikode University in 1985, also has liabilities of around Rs 20 crore, which includes loans of Rs 9 crore from various banks, his affidavit stated. Besides these, he is also facing 10 criminal cases for various offences including destruction of government property, leaking phone calls of government officials, leaking official secrets, defamation and making provocative speeches aimed at inciting violence, according to his affidavit. In none of these cases, mostly initiated between 2024 and 2025, charges have been framed against him, it said.
