Deputy Inspector General of Registrations (IT) Suhas Mapari told the media that they were getting a good response from the developers who were trained in this regard. Of the 419 applications, 347 have been sanctioned after due process, while 291 have been presented to the National Informatics Centre (NIC), and about 120 projects are already live.

In the process, registration authorities told the media that the developer could apply on the website of the registration department and then present the required documents to the joint district registrar (JDR) of the town planning department.

As of now, the e-registration process is voluntary. Developers and buyers can opt for the online process. Yet, if they want to continue offline, they can do that as well.
