The Karnataka government is set to implement a new 'Anywhere Registration' system across all 257 sub-registrar offices in the state starting September 2. This innovative system will allow residents to choose any sub-registrar office within their district's jurisdiction to register their properties, providing them with greater convenience and flexibility. The concept, which was originally introduced in Bengaluru in 2011, has proven effective in specific districts and is now being extended statewide. A successful pilot phase in Belagavi and Tumakuru districts has paved the way for the system's rollout across all registration districts in Karnataka.
The Karnataka government is set to implement a new 'Anywhere Registration' system across all sub-registrar offices in the state starting September 2. This system will allow residents to choose any sub-registrar office within their district's jurisdiction to register their properties, providing them with greater convenience. There are around 257 sub-registrar offices across the state.
This concept was originally introduced in Bengaluru in 2011, permitting property registrations at any sub-registrar office within specific districts. The system has proven effective in these areas, and the state government has now instructed the Registration and Stamps Department to extend it statewide.
A pilot phase was conducted in the districts of Belagavi and Tumakuru, which have a higher number of sub-registrar offices, to assess the feasibility of the system. The two-month pilot confirmed the system's success with no major issues. Following a third phase of evaluation, preparations are underway to roll out the 'Anywhere Registration' system across all registration districts in the state.
Under the current system, property registration is limited to the jurisdiction of the specific sub-registrar office. This can lead to further delays due to non-cooperation, objections, or administrative issues from the concerned office. The 'Anywhere Registration' system will provide the public with multiple office options, reducing their dependence on a single office and minimizing unnecessary delays.
According to Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda, the 'Anywhere Registration' system will benefit the public by saving time and money, reducing delays, and distributing the workload more evenly among sub-registrar offices.
Property dealers are welcoming the introduction of this system, stating that it will significantly simplify the registration process. Previously, being bound to a specific sub-registrar office meant navigating through traffic, facing long queues, and dealing with unpredictable delays. The new system will allow property buyers to register their properties at any nearby or convenient office within their district, saving time and reducing the stress and inconvenience associated with the process. Additionally, the distribution of workload across multiple offices will help avoid congestion and ensure more effective utilization of all sub-registrar offices.
Overall, the 'Anywhere Registration' system is expected to make the property registration process more accessible and less burdensome for the public, providing a much-needed improvement in efficiency and convenience for property transactions in Karnataka.
