After the liberation of Goa, Goa along with Daman and Diu became a union territory of India and hence "Palacio do Cabo" became "Cabo Raj Niwas" the official residence of the Lt.

When Goa got statehood in 1987, the building was renamed to Raj Bhavan to match the names of other official residences of governors of states in India.
