Kaveri set to smoothen property sale, purchase

The Karnataka government plans to take up a new project in the coming fiscal on a public-private-partnership model for making the registration services pertaining to purchase and sale of properties more citizen-centric and to enable inter-operability between related departments.

The project, ‘Kaveri’, would facilitate issue of certified copies and encumbrance certificates, among others, through Bangalore One, Karnataka

One and “Nemmadi Kendras” (government run centres offering various services including payment of bills) and web portal, to the general public.

The project aims to reduce average time taken for document registration from the present 30 minutes to 10 minutes, and would provide access to the general public to information on the registration of properties, marriages, e-stamp sales and public grievance redress, among others, through the Web.

It would facilitate exchange of information, electronically, among related departments such as ‘Bhoomi’, treasury, urban local bodies, income tax department and accountant general office, among others, according to the Medium Term Fiscal Plan (MTFP) 2010-2014 tabled in the ongoing session of the Karnataka Assembly. Another objective of the project is controlling misuse or revenue leak due to the government.
