Having already simplified the property registration process in the state with Kaveri 2.0, the Karnataka government is now planning to take this process entirely online. This would do away with the formality of the buyer and the seller having to visit the sub-registrar’s office for final bio-metric verification. According to Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda, who piloted the Registration (Karnataka Amendment) Bill, 2024, the Bill proposes to enable technical property registration without the physical presence of both the seller and the buyer. The presence of both parties at Deputy Registrar Offices had resulted in crowding and complaints of inadequate facilities, he said.
