Karnataka property registration to be faster and simpler from November 1

On Monday the reporters were briefedby the Karnataka revenue minister R Ashokathat the new software, which is both people and departmentfriendly, is being tested at a sub-registrar’s office in Chincholi of Kalaburagi district. It will be launched across the state from November 1.

BENGALURU: Starting November 1, registration of property in the state may become hassle free and faster too. The government will be soon launching a software, Cauvery 2.0, to ensure seamless registration of properties in all sub-registrar offices.

The people will be able to upload property registration related documents and also pay stamp duty orany other related fees online. Once documents are uploaded, one will be able to select a date and time convenient to them and visit the sub-registrar’s office of their choice to give biometric details.

“Once they visit the office, the registration process will be completed within 5-10 minutes,” Ashoka said. He also added that the software is designed in such a way that based on property details and area, it will automatically calculate the fees to be paid by the buyer. “It erases the dependence on third parties for the purpose,” Ashoka said.

Once the registration is complete, the property documents will be sent to the digi-lockers of buyers, besides sending updates through their mobile phones.

Currently, multiple visits have to be undertaken by the buyers to sub-registrar offices owing to technical glitches. “With the new software, these problems will not be there as it is a centralized application. Even if there are any issues, they can be fixed quickly and easily,” a revenue official said.

In a bid to put an end to property buyers being conned the government proposes to set up agencies to verify the authenticity of property documents in all of its taluks. These agencies will verify the documents and inform buyers if they are genuine or not. They will also flag legal cases, if any, and charge buyers a minimum amount, the minister said.

“Since these agencies are government-run, there will be an increased trust factor. It will also stop buyers from seeking legal opinion from private players by spending huge amounts,” Ashoka added.

How to inspect the house before getting into a rent agreement

When you are fresher in the market, you may not be accustomed to the industry. You want to get it right that’s the reason you are inspecting multiple houses. While you are making yourself familiar with the houses, you must know how to inspect the houses you are visiting. You may find it unusual to hear but you should be in detective mode during house visits, you cannot afford to overlook small things. If you are not clear about your budget and you are overlooking small things then you may have to pay the price.

Go around and research if there are any other houses available in the locality and compare the prices to know the best deal. Try to collect more information about the houses available and focus on the details. Being friendly with your real estate agent will help you get more valuable information about the options available.

Here is the list of things you can keep in mind, next time you go for a house visit:

Firstly you should check necessities like:

  • Water supply and if taps are in the right condition or not.
  • Check the drainage system.
  • Electrical supply.

Now, pick up the pen and paper and be ready to calculate some expenses, here are a few more questions you should ask yourself during property visits:

  • Are the floors solid or are there areas that Squeak?
  • Are there repairs that were never finished?
  • What is the decor?
  • Do the kitchen and bathroom need replacing?
  • Are the floors in the property in good condition?
  • What state is the woodwork in?
  • Is there double glazing and if so to what standard?
  • How much work will need to be done before the house can be put to use and what will the repairs cost you?
  • Is the parking facilities available? If yes, then is it paid or free?

Now, probably you are thinking that your assumptions about house visits were not perfect, but it was not wrong. Your efforts are worth it because it’s for your own good. You don’t want to sit on the couch and criticize yourself for making the wrong decision, at least not related to the house you are living in.

The moment you enter the house, be present-minded and practical. Look for disadvantages and note things down, if you are house hunting with a strict budget then make rough calculations.

Apart from all the things I have mentioned, please discuss with the landlord all the issues related to repair, furniture, advance deposits, maintenance charge etc, and ask if pets are allowed or not. Make yourself aware about your rights as a tenant and make sure everything is okay before you sign the tenancy agreement.

A request for police protection is made later. Earlier, bankers used to receive permissions within 30 days but now the pendency of cases has gone up.” shared top sources in SLBC.

Another source said “This is hampering the recovery process of banks at a time when the bad loan burden is going up.”

According to the latest SLBC Report, the number of SARFAESI applications has gone up by 261 over the last quarter. The order has been already issued by DM for 623 cases, but the possession is yet to be handed over to banks.

These are some districts with the highest pendency of cases, Valsad (137), Rajkot (154), Ahmedabad (223), Surat (831), Vadodara (491).

According to SLBC “The state finance department has been requested to issue a suitable advisory to the district collectors to dispose of applications pending for over 60 days and ensure that possession is handed over to concerned banks and financial institutions if the order is already issued.”

A survey reported that 35% of buildings in Gujrat are illegal

The urban development department concluded that 35% of buildings that are surveyed are illegal. Buildings are constructed without BU permissions.

AHMEDABAD: The urban development department conducted a sample survey for three months and 8,320 buildings were surveyed. All the buildings including residential, commercial and highrises together with the special category buildings like hospitals, Nagar Palika and corporations were surveyed and the survey concluded that 35% of the structures are illegal.

There are several reasons for that like addiction to floors, changes in the use of the building.

The urban development department has suggested government that an ordinance can be brought out with certain ‘conditions’ for property owners to surmount this legal hurdle.

A senior official commented “The suggestion will be submitted to the high court before the department officially pursues it. The goal is minimum damage,”

The survey had commenced in January and 1000 buildings in Surat,1050 in Ahmedabad, 800 in Vadodara, and 750 in Rajkot were surveyed for BU permissions.

A list of the key features examined in the survey are mentioned below :

1 – Width of the road in front of the structure

2- Ownership of land ( whether it belongs to state or private individuals)

3- Use of the building and change in the use of the building etc.

A senior AMC official commented “There were instances where AUDA in Ahmedabad was charging unauthorized development fee but was not giving BU permissions. Several of these buildings now have extra floors for which there is no BU nod,”

There is also the issue of the implementation of the provision made by central law, the Clinical Establishment Act, 2010.
