UPOR PROJECT URBAN PROPERTY OWNERSHIP RECORDS PROJECT KARNATAKA

UPOR PROJECT – URBAN PROPERTY OWNERSHIP RECORDS PROJECT KARNATAKA

Why PR Card q UPOR card for Urban Property is similar to RTC for agricultural property. q In UPOR property records are contains both spatial and non-spatial details. q In absence of PR Card – Owners believes that Khatha is the ownership document q Khatha extract maintained by the Urban Local bodies is just for the purpose of collection of property tax. q Khatha extract, in no way, gives ownership right to the citizen.

Different Types of records (13) • Gramathana • Urban Develoment Authority • Layouts developed by private persons • Alienated land but layout not approved • • Revenue sites Karnataka Housing Board Slum Board Allotted by local bodies • Karnataka industrial area development board • Private Housing Co-operative Societies • Government Land With Survey Number • Government Land Without Survey Number • Agriculture Land
