Come August 15 (Independence Day), a beginning will be made to enable you to register your property from any of the 203 sub-registrars’ offices in the state, irrespective of the location of the property. The revenue department is all set to integrate the sub-registrar offices (which have been automated already) in Karnataka; this would help in the speedy execution of property registration processes.

The revenue department will link five sub-registrar offices in Bangalore, which are yet to be identified, from where the service will begin from August 15. Revenue minister G Karunakara Reddy on Friday said that in a month's time, the integration would be extended to all the 43 sub-registrar offices in Bangalore. All the sub-registrar offices in Karnataka will be networked within nine months.

“For the user, the benefit would be to get the property registration done, no matter which part of the city or the state he or she is living in. All you need to process is the necessary documents,” he said.

In the current system of property registration, you have to get the property registration and other tasks done only in the sub-registrar’s office under whose jurisdiction the property is located. With the integration of the sub-registrar offices in place, a property owner in Koramangala, can get his property registered in Gandhinagar, or for that matter, even in Gulbarga or any corner of Karnataka. This will be brought under the Urban Properties Ownership Records (UPOR) project in the days to come.

“This is already being run as a pilot project in the five cities of Karnataka — Mysore, Mangalore, Bellary, Shimoga and Hubli-Dharwad. With digitalised documents and land records available with the department, the new scheme will ensure that the records are not bogus,” said the minister.

He said speeding up of land registrations in the urban areas is the need of the hour as 60% of the total land registrations in Karnataka take place in urban centres. Encumbrance details The revenue department secretary (Bhoomi and UPOR), Rajeev Chawla, said the project, in future, will also provide information on whether there are any encumbrances including court litigations and bank loans to the properties, which would help buyers verify the legitimacy of their purchases.

“The department will also introduce booking system for registrations so that they know precisely what time they can visit the sub-registrar office to get their jobs done faster,” he said.
