UPOR PROJECT – URBAN

PROPERTY OWNERSHIP

RECORDS PROJECT

KARNATAKA

Why PR Card UPOR card for Urban Property is similar

to RTC for agricultural property. In UPOR property records are contains

both spatial and non-spatial details. In absence of PR Card – Owners believes

that Khatha is the ownership document Khatha extract maintained by the Urban

Local bodies is just for the purpose of collection of property tax.

Khatha extract, in no way, gives ownership right to the citizen.

Why PR Card Property Cards, will be issued to the citizens

clearly mentioning their ownership rights on the property.

UPOR Card is a better legal document for urban properties like RTC for rural properties.

PR card is recognized under law and has a presumptive value under the Karnataka Land Revenue Act.

PR card has very accurate map of the property along with its coordinates

PR card is a single document covering rights, liabilities, privileges, accurate location and dimension of a property.

Control Network

Control Network is the first activity in any modern day

cadastral survey

Control Network helps in re-fixation of property boundaries

with lesser time, efforts and with same accuracy.

Three levels of densification (PCP, SCP and TCP)

Control Network ensures the area of survey is within the

jurisdiction

Proper Control Network alone ensures required accuracy in

survey.

Geo-referencing of village maps

All village maps are digitized The maps are geo-referenced using DGPS All hissas are incorporated in the geo-referenced village

map The geo-referenced village maps are super-imposed on

UPOR maps (after detailed mapping is completed) The boundary of government survey numbers and

alienated survey numbers are marked in these village maps

Old Gramathana Areas are also mapped and superimposed over outer boundary of gramathana as per village map

Existing CTS areas in some town and Gramathana again covered under UPOR to have digital records and seamless data with global coordinates.

Index Mapping

City is divided into Zones, Sectors, Blocks and Plots

Corner points of Properties in block and road junctions are

marked, ETS readings taken and block maps are generated

Properties are counted and approximately marked in block

map and given temporary IDs termed as Chalta No. (This is

not final id)

Property numbering and corner ids are marked on Index

Map

Index Map is validated and approved by department

Serving of Notice

Pre-printed Notice personally served by SP to property owners / occupants

For being present at the time of measurement & submission of documents

List of required documents pre-printed on notice

Data such as door no., khatha no., address, property type & usage collected from site

Office copy of notices are maintained

Marking of Property Corners Identified by department

surveyors & marked by SP in his presence

Marking by paint / wooden pegs for vacant sites

Marking is done in presence of owners/occupants

In case of disputes by neighbours on marking of boundary - Resolved by Enquiry Officers Unresolved cases are decided

during enquiry process Adjoining properties mapped as

single block Guidelines and circulars for

marking of properties issued by department

Measurement of Properties Each and every Property is

measured by Service Provider No measurement without

marking ETS used for measurement Both plot and building corner

points are measured Everyday’s data is downloaded

and map generated on the same day

Photo copies collected onsite from property owners/occupants by SP Operators

Documents are also collected at citizen service centers

Mobile units deployed for copying of documents onsite as & when required

Documents maintained in separate SI files created for every property

Files are kept block wise in record rooms

Validation of Measurements Validation of measurements

by Government Surveyors Concurrent Sector-wise (Post-facto)

Validation by using ETS/Tape In case error cases exceed

10% of total, SP is asked to re-measure the entire sector

Second level of validation through system during title enquiry process

More than 5% variation* cases logged for re-verification in the field

*Variation between measured extent and extent indicated in document

Generation of Map Sector-wise detailed maps

generated Maps have co-ordinates &

dimensions for all properties Verification of spatial data done

by SP using UPOR tool developed by TSP Compare block area with sum

of plot areas Duplicate polygon, vertex,

label, number Boundary not closing

(Undershoot and Overshoot) Boundary not overlapping, Self-

intersecting No Label, number

Validated maps qualify for further title enquiry process

Index Map and Detailed Map

Index Map before measurement

Detailed Map after measurement

Digitization of data/document

Bulk data collected from govt. departments/agencies are digitized Taluka office (Alienation, Govt.

Land data), Municipality, LAQ office, SRO (EC), UDAs

Documents collected from citizens are digitized using UPOR software

Documents are scanned, uploaded and linked to respective properties by SP operators

Index data of digitized documents are maintained in the system

Quality Checks (QC) for non-spatial data

QC of digitized data done by both SP and Department

Data entry is verified with documents collected from department and citizens

If errors exceed 20% of the total data entry done same is rejected for re-work by SP

Only cases passing the QC checks are ported to database for title enquiry process

Title Enquiry by Department

genuineness of the property offered for sale and all

encumbrances are systematically recorded

Banks will be sure of lending money against property• Consultation held with Banks & RBI ; Banks enthusiastic

about the Project

The Urban local bodies will have a comprehensive

database of all properties in their cities

Ensuring use of Property Records

All changes to the property will be through the property

records database

• for e.g. if a person has mortgage or leased his property,

the same will be indicated in the property record

The Registration department will only register transactions for

those properties that exist on the Urban Property Records

system.

• Legal Mechanism for this exists
