New Online Property Registration System for Bangalore & Tumkur

Here is a good news for all the property owners, buyers and sellers of Bangalore and Tumkur. Now the Karnataka Govt. is going implement “Online Property Registration Scheme” which comes under ‘Urban Property Ownership Records Project‘ to make the registration process more transparent for the people.This system is probably going to be implemented on 19th August.

As per the news report by honorable revenue minister Mr.G Karunakara Reddy “ This scheme will be implemented as on experimental basis in five sub-registrar offices in Bangalore.Going by its success, we will extend services to all sub-registrar offices in the city after 3 months and across Karnataka in 9 months from the date of launch. ”

Mr. Reddy said “ The launch of online applications will significantly lead to minimising corruption and the role of middlemen in property dealings. It will also protect people’s rights by safeguarding the property against any manipulation, and also the interests of developers and the government.”

The move also reflects the seriousness of the government in raising transparency in the revenue department.

As of now it is only possible for someone to register his/her property only in the jurisdictional registration office of the respective property. But according to the new system even a resident of Basavanagudi can register his property at Rajajinagar or any other place of his choice.

As per Mr. Rajeev Chawla (Principal Secretary of Revenue Department) “ The Urban Property Ownership Records project has been introduced in five major cities — Mysore, Mangalore, Bellary, Shimoga and Hubli-Dharwad till now and very soon it is going to be extended to Bangalore and 10 more towns in the state.This will ensure availability of detailed data on private proprietorship for investors and end-users to determine the price in a transparent manner. The move will completely curb fake registration of properties in urban areas and restrict property disputes.”

The entire system is made fairly simple so that all people can get the full advantage. The entire process is as below :

1. Government will develop a portal or link
2. Website will have model formats which will help consumers fill out the form, and get the required documents
3. Server-generated SMS is automatically sent to applicant at various stages of processing the application
4. SMS is also sent in the event of a query or for personal appearance seeking clarifications
5. Property buyers and sellers will get an online appointment soon after they register
6. Appointments will be fixed for 4 persons per hour
7. People will have the choice of paying a nominal registration fee through credit card or during their time slot when
8. they appear in person for registration
