“Biometric Completed… But Agreement Still Not Registered?”

This is one of the most common questions asked by property owners and tenants after completing biometric verification.

Many people assume:
✅ Biometric completed = Agreement instantly registered

But in reality, the registration process involves multiple backend approvals from the government registration system.

Actual Roadmap After Biometric Completion

Once biometric verification of all parties is successfully completed, the process generally follows these steps:

Step 1: Online Submission

After biometric completion:

• Agreement data is submitted online through Maharashtra registration system.

Step 2: Auto Assignment to Respective SRO

The system automatically assigns the agreement to the respective:

SRO (Sub-Registrar Office)

based on:

• Property jurisdiction
• Area/location
• Registration mapping

Step 3: SRO Verification Process

The assigned SRO verifies:

• Agreement details
• Party information
• Aadhaar authentication
• Stamp duty details
• Technical validation

After verification:
✅ Agreement gets approved / registered

So… How Many Days Does Registration Actually Take?

This is the most important point:

⚠️ There is NO fixed guaranteed timeline.

In some cases:
✅ Agreement may get registered within 1 hour after submission.

In other cases:
⚠️ It may take 7–10 days or sometimes more.

Average Timeline in Most Cases

Generally, agreements get registered within:

✅ 3–4 working days

However, timelines depend completely on:

• SRO workload
• System status
• Technical conditions
• Government office operations

Common Reasons for Registration Delay

Many delays happen due to operational or technical reasons at registration offices.

1. Server or Technical Glitch

Government portal/server issues can temporarily stop processing.

2. System Error at Registration Office

Sometimes:

• System crashes
• Software errors
• Connectivity issues

can delay approvals.

3. Operator or Registrar Not Available

If concerned officials are unavailable:

• Verification queue may slow down.

4. Limited Working Days

Registration offices work only on official working days.

Weekends, holidays, or restricted office functioning may increase waiting time.

5. Office Closed Due to Internal Work

Certain SRO offices may:

• Pause processing temporarily
• Handle internal audits
• Conduct administrative activities

which affects approval timelines.

Important Clarification

Delay does NOT always mean rejection.

In many cases:

• Agreement remains under processing due to queue or technical reasons.

Escalation Process if Agreement Is Delayed

If agreement is not registered even after approximately:

⚠️ 3 working days

users may raise concern through:

IGR Call Center

OR

Official IGR Email Complaint

The complaint generally helps:

• Highlight the pending matter to the respective SRO.

Important Reality About Escalation

Even after escalation:

⚠️ There is NO fixed TAT (Turnaround Time).

The complaint process only helps notify or highlight the concern to the concerned office.

Final approval still depends on:

• SRO processing
• System conditions
• Government workflow
