Karnataka govt mandates e-Khata for properties from Sept 30
Bengaluru: In a move to eliminate illegal and fraudulent deals in registration of properties across Karnataka, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda announced on Friday that e-Khatas will be made compulsory from September 30, 2024.
The system is already in force in about 12 districts, including Chitradurga, Raichur, Bagalkot, and Chamarajanagar through E-Swathu under the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department to register properties in rural areas and through E-Aasthi in urban areas.
Gowda stated that all property owners must bring e-Khatas during sale and purchase of property. The e-Khatas can be registered online and downloaded for properties in urban areas, including Bengaluru city.
“To register e-Khata, one needs to secure it from the local authority, in case of rural areas gram panchayat and urban local bodies in urban areas,” he noted. He warned that registration of properties would not be done without e-Khata as both e-Swathu and e-Aasthi have been integrated with registration process in the state.
The minister stressed that property owners need to get their e-Khatas done at the earliest to prevent fraudulent deals. “There are instances of the same property being registered twice in two different names,” he cautioned.
Gowda said that the state government would expedite the department’s PODI drive — the digitalisation of land records — launched in Hassan district on a pilot basis. He added that the department has completed evaluating 8,279 government survey numbers of around 80,000 farmers in the district.
