In a major administrative move, around 25 lakh properties in Bengaluru have been brought under the e-Khata system, marking a significant step towards digitisation and transparency in property records.
Push for digital property management
According to a report by Udayavani, the initiative aims to simplify property documentation and make records more accessible and efficient.
Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar highlighted that the move will help streamline processes and reduce complications in property transactions.
Benefits for property owners
The e-Khata system enables property owners to access records digitally, reducing the need for manual paperwork and visits to offices. It is expected to improve transparency, minimise disputes, and enhance accountability in property management.
Citizens can also benefit from faster approvals and easier verification processes.
Strengthening governance and transparency
The initiative is part of broader efforts to modernise civic administration and reduce irregularities in property documentation. Digitisation is seen as a key tool in improving governance and service delivery.
Encouraging compliance
Authorities are encouraging property owners to register under the e-Khata system to ensure their records are updated and legally compliant. The move is expected to bring more properties into the formal system.
A step towards smarter cities
The adoption of digital systems like e-Khata reflects Bengaluru’s shift towards smarter governance. As urbanisation continues, such initiatives are likely to play a crucial role in managing city infrastructure and services efficiently.
