Maharashtra government has announced some stringent rules to combat irregularities in vacant land registration. The state government has submitted payment receipts of vacant land tax or property tax mandatory for registration of assets.

• The Maharashtra government has also made it mandatory the incorporation of the title owner in the adangal copy for agricultural land.
• The move has been taken as it was found that the vacant land owners were not paying taxes on time.
• Henceforth, it is expected the decision would help the state government garner additional revenues in the current fiscal.
