The Government of Goa is set to roll out the Majhe Ghar Scheme 2025, a transformative housing regularisation initiative aimed at granting legal ownership rights to thousands of Goan families living in homes built on government, comunidade, or leasehold lands.
Designed to provide long-term housing security, the scheme is expected to bring clarity to decades-old land ownership issues across both urban and rural parts of the state.
The Majhe Ghar (My Home) Scheme seeks to regularise residential houses that were built without formal land titles on government or comunidade land. Through this initiative, the state aims to empower genuine residents by giving them a legal pathway to ownership.
Officials indicate that the scheme could benefit tens of thousands of Goan households, ensuring that residents who have lived in their homes for years finally receive recognised ownership documentation.
To qualify under the scheme, applicants must meet certain conditions:
The applicant should be a permanent resident of Goa.
The house or structure must have been constructed before the government's notified cut-off period.
The property should be situated on eligible land categories, such as government, leasehold, or comunidade land.
The property should not fall within prohibited zones such as CRZ, forest areas, or tenanted land.
The maximum plot size permitted for regularisation is expected to fall within a defined limit (for instance, around 300-400 sq. metres).
The applicant should not own another regularised or legally registered property in Goa.
For older houses, especially those built in earlier decades, simplified documentation and faster processing are anticipated.
The Majhe Ghar Scheme 2025 introduces several benefits for Goan residents:
Legal ownership certificate issued by the competent authority (Deputy Collector, Panchayat, or Municipal body).
Protection from eviction or future disputes over land rights.
Access to bank loans and property-linked benefits based on recognised ownership.
Affordable regularisation fee structure designed for middle- and lower-income groups.
Online submission and tracking through the state's digital governance portal for transparency and convenience.
Integration with land records and survey databases for seamless verification.
The application process for the Majhe Ghar Scheme is designed to be simple and accessible both online and offline.
Steps to apply:
Visit the official Goa Online portal and navigate to the Majhe Ghar application section.
Fill in personal and property details including survey number, type of land, and year of construction.
Upload or attach the required documents such as:
Proof of identity (Aadhaar, voter ID, or passport)
Residence or domicile certificate
Property survey plan or Form I & XIV
Proof of house construction prior to the cut-off period
Recent photograph and bank details
Pay the prescribed application or verification fee online or at the designated office.
Submit the completed form for scrutiny by the competent authority.
Once verified, applicants will receive a certificate of ownership or regularisation.
Applicants can track their submission status and receive updates through the official government portal.
The Government of Goa plans to execute the scheme in multiple phases to cover both government and comunidade lands. Dedicated verification teams will be deployed across talukas to assess applications, verify on-ground structures, and ensure compliance with planning and environmental norms.
The process will be closely monitored to maintain transparency, and applicants are encouraged to ensure accuracy in documentation to avoid delays.
The Majhe Ghar Scheme 2025 is poised to become one of Goa's most far-reaching housing regularisation programmes. By converting informal housing into legally recognised properties, it aims to:
Strengthen residents' security of tenure
Simplify land ownership records
Enable smoother property transactions in future
Support the government's vision of inclusive and legally compliant housing
Once implemented in full scale, the scheme is expected to bring thousands of Goan families into the formal property framework, offering them ownership, dignity, and stability.
