Additional opportunity for property owners
Property owners in Mysuru will get another opportunity to apply for digital property records when the Mysuru Municipal Corporation conducts a special e-Khata drive from November 5 to 7. The extended window is aimed at residents who could not attend the earlier camp or were unable to submit all the documents required for scrutiny.
Urban Development Minister Dr Yathindra Siddaramaiah announced the additional dates during an e-Khata distribution programme at the corporation premises. He said the administration’s objective was to ensure that every eligible property owner could access the digital facility, while directing officials to examine applications promptly and issue e-Khatas in accordance with the rules.
Demand remains high, but verification is central
The decision follows a special camp held on October 28, where the corporation received 730 applications. Digital property records were issued to 590 eligible beneficiaries during the exercise. The difference between the number of applications received and e-Khatas issued at that stage highlights the importance of document verification before records are approved.
| Measure | Figure |
|---|---|
| Applications received on October 28 | 730 |
| e-Khatas issued to eligible beneficiaries | 590 |
| Properties within MCC jurisdiction | More than 2.10 lakh |
| Properties issued e-Khatas so far | More than 78,700 |
According to figures cited by the minister, the municipal corporation has more than 2.10 lakh properties within its jurisdiction, while over 78,700 properties have so far been issued e-Khatas. Officials have been asked to accelerate work on the remaining eligible properties. The latest application window is therefore both a service extension and an effort to close the gap between the corporation’s total property base and the number of digitised records.
Documents will determine processing
The e-Khata system is intended to make property records available in digital form through the municipal administration. However, access to the online record depends on the applicant submitting supporting documents and the corporation completing its verification. Property owners planning to use the three-day window should therefore organise the necessary records before approaching the designated process, particularly if their earlier application could not move forward because documentation was incomplete.
- Application dates: November 5, 6 and 7.
- Intended applicants: Eligible owners who missed the October 28 camp or could not provide complete documents.
- Administrative focus: Faster scrutiny, rule-based issuance and fewer avoidable delays.
Siddaramaiah stressed the need for transparency and citizen-friendly administration during the distribution exercise. He also called for action against unnecessary delays and said eligible owners should not be denied access to the facility because of procedural difficulties. The instruction places emphasis on both the speed of processing and the quality of scrutiny, since digital records are useful to property holders only when the underlying details have been properly verified.
Digital records and civic administration
For Mysuru’s property owners, the expanded drive offers a defined period to pursue a municipal service that can otherwise involve repeated visits and document follow-up. The wider significance lies in how efficiently the corporation converts applications into verified digital records. With a large number of properties still outside the e-Khata system, the administration’s ability to manage applications, identify eligible cases and communicate document requirements will shape the practical value of the digitisation programme.
The corporation has not announced any additional dates beyond November 5 to 7 in the information available. Residents who are eligible and have not yet obtained an e-Khata have been urged to use the fresh window and submit the required records so that their applications can be scrutinised under the applicable rules.
