Narayana Swamy recently bought property in Chikkajala, near Devanahalli, and registered it on Saturday at the Gandhinagar sub-registrar’s office within 10 minutes! The three guntas of land that was purchased in a suburban village could be easily registered at Gandhinagar, thanks to advanced technology that has gone beyond the constraints of space. You can approach any of the 42 sub-registrars’ office in the city and register your properties in a jiffy.
Inaugurating the ‘Anywhere Registration’ facility at the Gandhinagar subregistrar’s office on Saturday, chief minister D V Sadananda Gowda said this ambitious initiative will enhance transparency in the system and curb delay in registration.
“The online registration process might disappoint many middlemen. But it helps lakhs of property owners. I’ve got representations from many persons who wanted me to scrap this. Many have shown their disappointment. But technology has solutions for every doubt raised. Whether the property is stuck in a legal tussle, or the land is reserved for SC/STs, nobody can fake to the government at the time of registration. This process will put an end to illegal registration of properties. The revenue secretary is already in talks with the registrar of the Karnataka High Court. The moment there is a stay order from court on any property, it will reflect in the records and such properties will not be registered till the stay is vacated and case is solved,” said the chief minister.
SMS ALERT
The department of stamps and registration will also send an SMS alert to the rightful property owner if some other person comes forward to register the same property. This will help control the duplication of registration of properties. The message will be sent to the property owner in both Kannada and English. The facility will be made operational across the state by March 2012, the CM assured.
HOW IT WORKS
You can walk into any sub-registrar’s office of your choice and submit the property records for registration. You could register your Yeshwanthpur property in Shivajinagar. Owners can also obtain encumbrance details of the property. The facility saves citizens time, labour and money, and also enhances the right to get information through the electronic system without the intervention of touts.

Bangalore/ Tumkur
Bangaloreans will soon be able to register their properties online, irrespective of the sub-registrar’s jurisdiction. The new system is expected to bring in a higher level of transparency and eventually create an online property price index, an alternative to the existing guidance values.
Come August 15, the state revenue department will launch the online property registration system in five sub-registrar offices in Bangalore on an experimental basis. “Going by its success, we will extend services to all sub-registrar offices in the city after three months and across Karnataka in nine months from the date of launch,’’ revenue minister G Karunakara Reddy told reporters on board a bus from Bangalore to Tumkur.
The move also reflects the seriousness of the government in raising transparency in the revenue department, following a recent online survey that dubbed the department “most corrupt’’.
Reddy said: “The launch of online applications will significantly lead to minimising corruption and the role of middlemen in property dealings. It will also protect people’s rights by safeguarding the property against any manipulation, and also the interests of developers and the government.’’
Under the new system, a resident of Yeshwanthpur can register his property at Rajajinagar or any other place of his choice. As of now, one can register property only in the jurisdictional registration office.
Rajeev Chawla, principal secretary, revenue department, said the Urban Property Ownership Records project which has been introduced in five major cities — Mysore, Mangalore, Bellary, Shimoga and Hubli-Dharwad — will soon be extended to Bangalore and 10 more towns in the state.
This will ensure availability of detailed data on private proprietorship for investors and end-users to determine the price in a transparent manner. “The move will completely curb fake registration of properties in urban areas and restrict property disputes,’’ he added.
