Pune: Land Records Dept Launches Online Appeal System Under ‘Pratyay’
Pune, 24 March 2025: The Land Records Department of Maharashtra state has launched an online service for appeal hearings under the newly implemented Pratyay system in Maharashtra. This initiative allows citizens to submit appeals electronically at various levels, including taluka, district, divisional, and state government offices. The system aims to save time and enhance transparency in the appeal process.
As a pioneer in offering digital services in Maharashtra, the Land Records Department has now introduced this feature to streamline the appeals process. Once an appeal is filed, citizens can track real-time updates, including the current status, hearing dates, notices, and final verdicts—all online.
The Pratyay system was recently inaugurated in Mumbai by the state’s Revenue Minister, Chandrashekhar Bawankule, in the presence of senior officials, including Additional Chief Secretary Rajesh Kumar, Principal Secretary Santosh Kumar, and Commissioner of Land Records Dr. Suhas Divse.
The department successfully implemented this system within just 100 days, meeting its set target. Minister Bawankule congratulated Dr. Divse and his team for the achievement, emphasizing that the initiative would help transition the department’s operations to a paperless system.
In the next phase, online hearings will also be introduced. This feature will allow citizens to track the status of their appeals and access important documents, such as case diaries and verdicts, in real time. Currently, there are approximately 11,000 pending appeals with the state government—some dating back to 2012—which will now be addressed more efficiently.
Key Features of the Pratyay System:
Citizens can submit appeals, complaints, and revision requests online.
Real-time tracking of application status, hearing schedules, and statements from opposing parties.
Planned introduction of online hearings, similar to civil court procedures.
Remote participation for citizens, officials, and other stakeholders in the hearing process.
The launch of Pratyay marks a major step towards digital governance, ensuring faster resolution of appeals and greater efficiency in the Land Records Department.
