Statewide implementation of 'anywhere registration' from September 2: Krishna Byregowda
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.

Karnataka bypolls: Over 60 per cent voter turnout in Bagalkot, Davanagere South till 5 pm
Bengaluru (PTI): Over 60 per cent voter turnout was recorded till 5 pm in both Assembly constituencies in Karnataka, where bypolls were held on Thursday.
While the turnout in Bagalkot was 65.68 per cent, it was 63.04 per cent in Davanagere South.
While the ruling Congress faces the challenge of retaining both seats, the BJP aims to wrest them and deliver a setback to its rival, which is currently witnessing an "internal power struggle" over leadership.
The bypolls were necessitated due to the demise of senior Congress MLAs H Y Meti (Bagalkot) and Shamanur Shivashankarappa (Davanagere South).
A total of over 2.59 lakh eligible voters are expected to cast their votes at around 319 polling stations in Bagalkot, where nine candidates are in the fray.
In Davanagere South, over 2.31 lakh eligible voters are expected to vote across 284 polling stations, with 25 candidates contesting.
The BJP has fielded former MLA and 2023 defeated candidate Veerabhadrayya Charantimath from Bagalkot, and a fresh face, Srinivas T Dasakariyappa, from Davanagere South.
The Congress has given tickets to family members of the late legislators in both constituencies. Bagalkot candidate Umesh Meti is the son of H Y Meti, while Samarth Mallikarjun from Davanagere South is the grandson of Shamanur Shivashankarappa.
