Implementation of mandatory property card postponed: UTK

Mangaluru: The government has decided not to make property card mandatory for transactions for the next three months and this comes as a huge relief for those who want to sell property or avail home loans.
Earlier the government had made property card mandatory for all land registrations in the 32 villages of Mangaluru City from Feb 1st. But the revenue department has now decided to continue with the previous system for land registrations due to complaints from public, especially from cooperative banks and hence land owners need not submit property card till further notice.
District in-charge and urban development minister U T Khader has informed that the property card will not be mandatory for land transactions for the next three months and added that the department has plans to open more centres and provide necessary infrastructure to issue property cards within a fixed period of time.
“There are several issues in the implementation of property card system since the department lacks sufficient number of computers and the process of issuing the same also is being hit due to server errors. The issue has been discussed by the revenue department and very soon a circular will be issued postponing the implementation of property card for three months. However, land owners should apply for the property card by submitting necessary documents so that it will be made mandatory after three months,” said Mr Khader.
Khata distribution rules to be relaxed
The minister informed that the urban development department will be relaxing the rules in connection to the distribution of khata for buildings in cities across the state.
“The Town and Country Planning Act 1976 mandates citizens to obtain permission from their respective urban development authorities for constructions in their property in cities. However, there are large number of people, who have constructed houses and other buildings without their respective urban development authorities’ permission in the state. Hence they are not able to avail khata for their property from the local bodies. To resolve this, we have decided to issue khata for buildings constructed without the authorities’ permission too. But the relaxation in rules will apply only if the building has permission from the respective local body,” explained the minister.
