Of
recent, the public are utterly confused about registration of transfer of
properties.The registration process,
which was a smooth process hitherto, all of a sudden has become very tedious
calling various documents, approvals, orders, which were not insisted earlier.A document, which is considered as correct in one sub registrar office is
rejected as not correct in other sub registrar office.Revenue department,Department of Inspector General of Registration and Commissioner of Stamps, all the sub registrars are
utterly confused themselves and are unable to guide the public.
Karnataka Government
by notification RD/174/MUNOMV/2005/ dated 23/4/2005 had declared the transfer
of certain properties as opposed to public policy and instructed the registering
authorities not to register the properties detailed in the notification.Further, Government of Karnataka clarifying
certain points referred in its notification dated 23/Aug/2005 clarifying
certain points referred in its notification dated 23/04/2005, but has only
compounded the confusion, adding to the misery of public and stubborn
registering authorities, which is causing unnecessary harassment to the public.
The two important
points, which have affected the registration are conversion of agricultural
land to non-agricultural purpose and approval of layouts. The agricultural land cannot be used for anyother purpose, unless it is converted to non-agricultural purpose.Under section 95 of Karnataka Land Revenue
Act, the Government has recently introduced ‘Single Window’ system for
conversion of land.
Apart from conversion
of land, the layout should be approved by concerned authority, thereafter
building need to be approved.Generally,Urban Development Authority, which is in the district is approving authority
for layouts. But many layouts are
approved by City Municipal Councils, TMC, and Village Panchayats, which has led to low quality development works causing heavy financial burden on local boards
and inconvenience to the public The conversion of land for any purpose other
than agricultural purpose should not be in violation of approved master plan,
CDP proposals.
As far as Bangalore
and surrounding areas are concerned, there are various planning authorities
which approve layouts.Each planning
authorities has specified jurisdiction.People should know that the Bangalore City Corporation, various City
Municipal Councils, TMC or Village Panchayat do not have any authority to
approve layouts which vests with Jurisdictional Planning Authorities.Many problems have come because of the unauthorized
and indiscriminate approval of layout by these authorities, which has exposed
the public to hardships.
