Role of E-Swathu

The major role of E Swathu Karnataka is to maintain the records of ownership and physical details of properties under each gram panchayat jurisdiction. Updating of details, in case of inheritance, transfer of ownership or gift of property, acquisition of land for government projects, court cases, restrictions, liabilities, etc., is also done on the E-Swathu platform. Through this portal, a property owner can share property details with the gram panchayat and other related government departments, courts and town planning offices, to prevent forgery and to maintain records.

E-Swathu: Uses of Form 9 and Form 11

Usually, Form 9 and Form 11 are used for property tax collection. Since, gram panchayats are authorised to collect property taxes, these documents make it mandatory for the property owner to pay the tax to the authority. Apart from this, these are mandatory documents for non-agricultural properties, for carrying out property registration. These are important property documents required for selling property in gram panchayat jurisdiction.

E-Swathu news updates

September 8, 2021: More than 700 gram thana sites have been found to be illegally registered by two sub-registrars in one of the biggest land registration scams, mentioned in a report by The Hindu. The land sites in Hesaraghatta and Yelahanka hoblis in Yelahanka taluk in Bengaluru Urban district, were found to be registered illegally without getting the computerised E-Swathu Form 9 and Form 11 A or 11 B. In the investigation, it was found that between June 28 and July 5, 2021, close to 731 sites were illegally registered in the Kacharakanahalli SRO. However, this illegal practice is not restricted  only to Kacharakanahalli SRO but is prevalent in the outskirts of Bengaluru too.

As part of the malpractice, SROs ignored the need for computerised Form 9 and Form 11 A or 11 B, which carries the panchayat development officer’s digital signature. It is alleged that they deliberately did not verify the online property information from the e-Swathu portal, thus, going against the government orders issued in 2013 and 2014. Also, these gram panchayat sites were registered without the sale deed which is crucial under Kaveri e-Swathu, to prevent fraudulent activities. Additionally, many documents were registered as bhoomi/agriculture land, so that they do not appear in the e-Swathu data.

E-Swathu faces glitches

September 1, 2021: Property registrations coming under gram panchayats across Karnataka have been disrupted in August 2021, as the e-Swathu, with the e-Swathu portal being migrated to a new secure platform by the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) Department. According to the Revenue Department, the migration happened without the knowledge of the Stamps and Registration Department, resulting in the disruption. Apparently, the RDPR Department changed the URL from HTTP to the more secure HTTPS, without informing the Revenue Department and the National Informatics Centre.
