The GBA (Greater Bengaluru Authority) is set to hold an open house at 50 locations across the city today, aiming to facilitate e-khata services for residents. This initiative is designed to streamline property documentation and address various issues related to khata certificates.
Services Offered
The open house will provide a range of e-khata services, including the issuance of new e-khatas, conversion of B-khata properties to A-khata, correction of errors in existing records, and disposal of long-pending applications. Residents can visit any of the 50 designated locations to avail themselves of these services without prior appointment.
Importance of E-Khata
An e-khata is an electronic record of property ownership that simplifies transactions and ensures transparency. Converting B-khata to A-khata is particularly crucial as A-khata properties are recognized by banks for loans and have higher market value. The open house aims to expedite this process for property owners.
How to Avail Services
Residents are encouraged to bring relevant documents such as property papers, previous khata certificates, and identification proof. GBA officials will be present at each location to assist with applications and resolve queries. The initiative is part of a broader effort to digitize land records and reduce bureaucratic delays.
This open house is a significant step towards improving property governance in Bengaluru. By offering on-the-spot services, the GBA hopes to clear backlogs and enhance citizen convenience. The event runs from 10 AM to 5 PM today.
