Mangalore, June 16: As part of the implementation of the Urban Property Ownership Records (UPOR), ownership documents will now be in the form of Property Cards (PR cards).
Addressing media persons at a press meet held at the Deputy Commissioner's office in Mangalore on Saturday, V Ponnuraj, Deputy Commissioner, Shimoga, and N Yogish Bhat, Deputy Speaker, Karnataka Legislative Assembly briefed media persons about the new project taken by the Department of Survey Settlement and Land Records (SSLR).
The pilot project will be implemented as per the provisions of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act and Rules in five towns i.e. Mangalore, Bellary, Mysore, Hubli-Dharwad and Shimoga in Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) mode.
Why PR card?
PR cards are being introduced since there are no title documents for urban properties resulting in 'Khata' being considered as a title document. RTC cannot handle vertical growth as it is only for the land and not multiple properties on land. For converted land, RTCs will be stopped in the future.
PR card would be made mandatory for all transactions and conversion sketches would be done through UPOR in the future.
The PR card boasts of highly accurate data, on map and ownership. Each property would be identified by coordinates. It would be a piece of evidence of property ownership for all regulatory and legal purposes. The property buyers would know the genuineness of ownership and whether there are any mortgages besides restrictions by the government, court orders passed and other info on the property. To the sellers it would be less cumbersome. The bankers would be able to ascertain existing mortgages if any, court disputes, updated ownership information and they can could do away with legal opinions too.
