E-khata mandate complicates property registrations in Mangaluru

Mangaluru City South MLA D Vedavyas Kamath has raised concerns about difficulties faced by residents following the state's new requirement for e-khata in property registrations. He stated that the mandate is causing significant trouble for people trying to buy or sell property. Kamath called on revenue minister Krishna Byre Gowda to address these issues promptly. Many buyers and sellers have reported frustration, claiming the government did not prepare adequately before enforcing the e-khata system. Residents are compelled to visit government offices frequently to sort out registration issues and create e-khata for their properties. According to Kamath, this situation is preventing many from completing their property transactions. In addition to these challenges, he noted problems with property maps, where incorrect information is being recorded. In some areas, such as Saripalla and Kannagudde, discrepancies in property records have been discovered. Kamath emphasized the need for quick fixes to the software problems to alleviate the struggles faced by the public.
