E-Swathu Karnataka

To make property-related transactions transparent, the Government of Karnataka launched the E-Swathu portal in 2021. It records and maintains all property and land ownership details of rural Karnataka.

 

This portal is a centralised digital platform for all your land-related needs. It enables quick access to crucial property details to streamline registration processes.

 

E-Swathu not only simplifies bureaucratic procedures but also enables citizens to access important property documents like Form-9 and Form-11.

Check out the details of the E-Swathu portal in the table below:

By addressing previous challenges in property record management, E-Swathu enhances transparency and efficiency. Here are the key features that highlight its significance:

• Ownership Verification: E-Swathu enables the clear establishment of property ownership

• Record Maintenance: It effectively maintains comprehensive records of property ownership

• Property Attributes Documentation: Serving as a detailed reference for rural properties in Karnataka, E-Swathu captures essential information about their physical attributes

• Information Sharing: One of the primary objectives of E-Swathu is to improve the sharing of property records among Gram Panchayats, courts, and urban planning authorities.

• Comprehensive Property Details: The platform includes all relevant information concerning properties, such as ownership transfers, gifts, legal cases, inheritances, and acquisitions.

• Language Accessibility: Although E-Swathu is primarily offered in Kannada, it also provides English translation options, significantly improving its accessibility for a wider audience

• Digital Signatures: All forms within E-Swathu are digitally signed by the Panchayat Development Officer (PDO), eliminating the need for traditional ink signatures

Gram Panchayats also issue this document for non-agricultural properties under their jurisdiction. GP offices extract it from the Register of Demand, Collection and Balance of Land and Building. Here is a sample Form 11 for your understanding:
