A government official has directed municipal corporations and urban local bodies to expedite the issuance of e-khatas, the digital equivalents of traditional property ownership certificates, to property owners in their jurisdictions.
The directive emphasizes the need to modernize property record systems and improve accessibility for citizens seeking documentation of their real estate holdings. E-khatas serve as crucial documents for property transactions, taxation, and administrative verification purposes.
Municipal authorities have been instructed to prioritize the digitization process and ensure that property owners receive their electronic certificates in a timely manner. The move is expected to reduce administrative delays and enhance transparency in urban property administration.
The initiative reflects broader efforts by local governance bodies to adopt digital solutions for improving citizen services and streamlining bureaucratic processes. Urban local bodies across various cities have been tasked with reviewing their current e-khata issuance timelines and identifying bottlenecks in the system.
The push for accelerated digital property records issuance comes as municipalities continue expanding their digital infrastructure to support better urban administration and record-keeping.
