Over 23 percent of land records in Karnataka still in names of deceased owners: Report
Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has found that more than 23 percent of land ownership records in the state are still registered in the names of deceased individuals. This finding emerged as part of an ongoing campaign to link Aadhaar numbers with the Record of Rights, Tenancy and Crops (RTC) documents.
According to documents accessed by The New Indian Express, of the 4.2 crore landowners whose Aadhaar numbers are to be linked with their RTCs, the revenue department has so far completed the process for 2.25 crore owners. Among them, 52.40 lakh owners have been declared dead.
Tumakuru district recorded the highest number of such cases, with 5.61 lakh landowners listed as deceased. It is followed by Belagavi with 4.7 lakh owners, Mandya with 3.7 lakh, and Kodagu and Kolar with 2.8 lakh each, added TNIE.
After the death of a land owner, his/her land should be transferred to their legal heirs. In many cases, the land continues to be registered in the names of deceased individuals—often parents—preventing legal heirs from accessing entitlements such as compensation in case of natural disasters or securing loans from banks.
The government has initiated village adalats, where a designated officer from the revenue department will dispose of cases that are not in the court of law, added the report.
