Real estate agent in IN-MH
What this register publishes today, what is missing, and the smallest change that would move it up.
What was found
One national statute, more than thirty separate registers. Registration is compulsory under section 9 of the 2016 Act for anyone who facilitates a sale, and each state and union territory runs its own authority, portal, fees and process, so a national check does not exist and an agent operating across a border is a different lookup each time. Maharashtra is the largest and the most useful to read. It has registered more than fifty thousand agents in eight years, and publishes that fewer than thirty-two thousand of those are currently active: more than a third of all registrations have lapsed or were never completed. That is a register publishing its own decay rate, which is the single most honest number in this index and the reason RVW-6 exists. The federal split is now the commonest failure in the table, shared with Brazil, Spain, India and the United States.
What it publishes
| Check | Answer | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| A public page per licence | Yes | Gives a reader something to look at and a checker something to archive and attest against. |
| A bulk export | No | Lets a consumer hold the whole list instead of fetching one licence at a time, and lets anyone hash it. |
| Machine readable | No | A CSV or JSON rather than a page built for a browser. Decides whether checking can be automated at all. |
| Signed | No | Makes the file impossible to forge or mirror convincingly. Nothing reaches grade A without it. |
The next step
Give every licence a stable address
The register exists but lives behind a search form, so there is nothing to link to, nothing to archive and nothing to attest against. A permanent address per licence costs little and moves this row to grade C on its own.
A grade describes a register, not the authority behind it and not the quality of its supervision. An authority can run an excellent register and still sit at grade D because it is a search form.
If this row is wrong, it gets corrected with the correction published beside it. The index is useful only if it can be argued with. Tell the lab.
