<p>The Stamps and Registration Department has directed all sub-registrars to verify details of gramathana sites (plots located in the jurisdiction of panchayats) on e-swatthu software before registering the properties.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The department has, in a recent circular, said that Kaveri (Karnataka Valuation and e-Registration) software and e-swatthu, a software developed by the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) department to digitise all documents pertaining to properties in panchayat limits, have been integrated. The sub-registrars should, therefore, verify all details of gramathana sites before registration.<br /><br />If a property is not located in e-swatthu, sub-registrars should issue an endorsement to that effect. Disciplinary action will be initiated against those who do not follow the procedure, the department has warned in the circular.<br /><br />The government has already made it mandatory to submit only computer-generated forms 9 and 11-a or 11-b (also called khata documents) at the time of property transaction in panchayat areas.<br /><br />Handwritten documents are not accepted by the sub-registrars. While form 11-a is for plots formed without violation, 11-b is for those with minor violations. <br /><br />This has been done to prevent fraudulent transactions, especially on the outskirts of major cities like Bangalore. <br /></p>
