The government has also decided to take up the urban property ownership records project in Bangalore city, covering all housing properties.

 

There are 16 lakh housing properties in the city and with the project in place, this number is expected to go up to 20-21 lakh with the inclusion of properties that had been missed out of assessment.

The project, which has already been launched in Mysore, Shimoga, Hubli-Dharwad and Mangalore, is aimed at curbing cases of availing loans by creating multiple records of the same property, the Minister said.
