Applications received during the drive will be processed and e-khatas issued by Oct 31.Two years after the Karnataka govt launched the e-khata initiative, MCC has so far issued e-khatas to nearly 30% of property owners. The civic body now aims to bring all 2.3 lakh properties, including around 60,000 in revenue layouts, under the digital system through the special drive.The e-khata initiative is intended to boost property tax revenue, enhance transparency in property records, and prevent documentation fraud.MCC commissioner MK Savitha said applications would be accepted on Oct 28 and processed within three days. Of the 1.7 lakh households within MCC limits, only about 30% have obtained e-khatas so far. In addition, around 60,000 properties in revenue layouts are yet to be brought under the system.“Depending on the response, MCC plans to hold a special drive every Friday to help property owners obtain e-khatas without hassle. Once all properties are digitised, the corporation will have property information readily accessible at its fingertips,” she said.For details, visit – http://www.mysurucity.mrc.gov.in
