Kaveri 2, the new property registration system in Karnataka, is currently facing severe backlash due to frequent technical glitches. The once-revolutionary platform has caused a major slowdown in property registrations, with only 25% of the normal volume being processed daily. These ongoing issues have alarmed revenue officials and frustrated the public. Despite the initial hurdles, district registrar Pavan Pandit urges the public and stamp vendors to embrace the new system, assuring that these teething problems will be addressed promptly.
The recent implementation of the Kaveri 2 system for property registration in Karnataka has been causing a ripple of concern as technical hitches lead to extended delays, and subsequently, a statewide slowdown in registrations.
Kaveri 2, a revolutionary web-based platform, was launched by the previous BIP government with an objective to streamline and make property registration more transparent across the state. However, the system has been plagued with incessant technical glitches, causing shutdowns in various sub-registrar offices.
These technical failures have alarmed revenue officials as they hinder the registration process, leaving the Department of Stamps and Registration grappling with the fallout. Consequently, only a quarter of the normal volume of registrations are being processed each day, resulting in longer waiting periods for the public.
In the Haveri district, for example, daily registrations have plummeted from 70-80 to a mere 15-20. A lack of awareness about the new system among stamp vendors and the public’s hesitance to adopt it are additional factors contributing to the slowdown. This lag has resulted in property registration taking up to one to two weeks, compared to the previous same-day processing.
Developed by the Centre for Smart Governance, the Kaveri 2 application was launched on February 1 and is meant to operate in three phases: pre-registration, registration, and post-registration. However, server issues have plagued the new system since its inception.
Despite the setbacks, Pavan Pandit, the district registrar of Haveri, remains optimistic, expecting the daily registration numbers to triple once the pre-registration work is completed ahead of the appointment. He urges stamp vendors and the public to embrace this system and assures that the initial hurdles will be overcome.
In conclusion, the Kaveri 2 system, envisioned as a tool for smooth and transparent property registration, is presently facing significant teething problems. Addressing the technical glitches promptly is crucial, not only for maintaining public trust, but also for achieving the system’s potential for a streamlined and efficient property registration process in Karnataka.
