THANE GETS NEW COLLECTORATE AS STATE SCRAPS NA PERMISSION, LAND-FRAGMENTATION LAW

1 min read · Quick Read · HPT Exclusive Desk | Thane | 15 August 2026

Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule announced on 29 July 2026, at the ‘Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Maharajasva Samadhan Shibir’ in Thane, that the state will establish a new Additional Collector's office along with two new tehsil offices in the district, aimed at speeding up revenue administration and services such as 7/12 extracts and mutation entries. In the same address, Bawankule said the government has removed the requirement of non-agricultural (NA) permission for converting farmland and has withdrawn the fragmentation (tukdabandi) law. Around one lakh families owning small plots constructed before 15 October 2023 in Thane district will now receive legal ownership rights as a result. The minister added that the government plans to issue property cards to flat owners and introduce a Land Titling Act in the winter legislative session. Thane Collector Dr Shrikrishna Panchal said the first phase of the wider Maharajasva campaign has already benefited close to 76,000 families in the district, including grants of forest-land rights to tribal communities and free sand-allocation rights.
