From November 1, 2017, government-owned properties in Maharashtra will be rented out through online service, which will essentially save time of the authorities.
A Government Resolution (GR) issued on October 18, 2017, stated that there are several rent agreements processed by the Public Works Department (PWD) every year, where government-owned land or buildings are rented out for public interest. Henceforth, such agreements will be carried out through e-rent service, provided on the website www.mahapwd.com.

In Mumbai city alone, there are over 1,200 leased properties by the Maharashtra government. The actual number of properties leased by the government across the state would be huge and with online processing of lease agreements, it will save a lot of time and money of people from outstation, who earlier, had to visit to Mumbai for renewal or fresh lease agreement, said a senior officer from the PWD.
The executive engineers of the PWD from respective districts, have been given the responsibility to take final decisions in lease agreement procedures, the GR said. It also mandated the PWD to publish a division-wise base rate, at the beginning of every financial year, for easy calculation of rent. The GR further gave a detailed list, for calculating the rent for buildings with various amenities.
