Karnataka’s e-Khata Drive Faces 8,000-Application Backlog as Platform Update Unfolds
Software upgrades due this week aim to resolve the platform glitches delaying thousands of property registrations.
Overview
- Nearly 8,000 e-Khata applications remain pending across nine zonal offices of Mysuru City Corporation.
- The MCC has issued approximately 30,000–35,000 digital property records statewide since the mandatory drive began.
- e-AASTHI portal updates are being deployed this week to tackle recurring server outages and accelerate application processing.
- Prolonged registration times have left many owners unable to sell or mortgage properties as data entry for each application can exceed half a day.
- Deputy Commissioner J.S. Somashekar urged residents to deal directly with zonal offices and report touts charging up to ₹30,000 for expediting e-Khata.
