Property card a must starting April 1
Property-related transactions in Mysore will be barred from April 1
without the property card by way of Form 13 to be issued under the Urban
Property Ownership Records (UPOR) project now under way in the city.
The embargo will not apply to the entire city
immediately but only to certain zones so far covered by the UPOR and
will be extended to the entire Mysore City Corporation jurisdiction and
42 villages around it, covering an area of 180 sq. km, in a phased
manner. This was disclosed by Rajeev Chawla, who is in charge of the
UPOR project and Secretary of the Bhoomi project, here on Wednesday. Mr.
Chawla said that in all 2.75 lakh properties would have to be surveyed
and the owners would be issued property ownership records. He said no
transaction of properties in urban areas would take place without this
document and the sub-registrar’s office would stop registration in case
of change in ownership due to sale or purchase of property, if the
relevant document was not produced by the owner.
The project is being implemented under the
public-private partnership (PPP) model in association with Secon Pvt.
Ltd. Out of nearly 2.75 lakh properties, the authorities have covered
around 50,000.
Under the UPOR project, the entire city is being
surveyed and all the properties mapped in relation to other coordinates
and the draft database will be posted on the website for the public who
will be given time to file objections, if any, or point out any
discrepancy regarding their property.
While nearly 50,000 property owners have submitted their
documents and will start receiving the property card from April, the
remaining owners have been urged to visit the UPOR project office either
at the old tahsildar’s office at Nazarbad (0821-3261547) or Room Number
22 at the Deputy Commissioner’s office for details and follow-up
action.
