Bengaluru: Karnataka is set to implement the 'Anywhere Registration' system for property registration across all sub-registrar offices in the state from September 2. The new system will allow citizens to register property, including land, plots, houses, and commercial buildings, at any sub-registrar office within their district, irrespective of the property's location.

Revenue Minister Krishna Byregowda announced this during a press conference on Monday. He explained that the system, which was successfully piloted in Tumakuru and Belagavi since February, is being expanded statewide to reduce crowding in offices and ease the workload on staff.

The 'Anywhere Registration' system is expected to eliminate the need for middlemen and streamline the registration process. Citizens can now book appointments online and visit the sub-registrar office most convenient for them, rather than being restricted to the office in their respective taluk.

With 252 sub-registrar offices across Karnataka, the new system aims to distribute the workload more evenly, improving efficiency and reducing wait times for the public.
