Overview

• An August 28 order by Inspector General Ravindra Binwade cancels Authorised Service Providers with immediate effect and removes their dedicated login.
• Tenants and landlords are directed to complete leave-and-license registrations directly on the government portal.
• Hindustan Times reports the state portal still displays ASP lists for Mumbai, Thane and Pune, and agents say they can continue via the general user login.
• Agents argue many users will still seek facilitators due to required hardware such as a webcam, biometric reader and iris scanner that can cost up to ₹6,000.
• The move follows complaints of irregularities and a July 18 review backing the change, with the IGR instructing divisional offices to settle ASP dues and process deposit refunds.
