Digital IDs for properties in first week of Feb

The BBMP will launch digital identification numbers for properties in the first week of February. The decision was taken at a review meeting Bengaluru Development Minister K J George held with BBMP officials on Monday.  

"It's a unique project. We are planning to launch it in the first week of February,"  BBMP Commissioner N Manjunath Prasad said. Entitled  DiGi7, the project will see every property in the city getting a seven-digit identification number that will be independent of ward and zone numbers.  

This number will be linked with satellites through GEPTIS  (GIS-Enabled Property Tax Information System) and help in locating properties based on geo-location.  The number will be permanent and will not change if the property owner or type changes.
