Counselling-based transfers for sub-registrars in Karnataka to be made permanent exercise
Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda announced that Karnataka will make its counselling-based transfer system for sub-registrars a permanent, annual process. The pilot began two years ago in urban jurisdictions, including the Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority area and municipal corporations, to ensure transfers are transparent and free from external influence.
Why It Matters
The move aims to standardize transfers for urban sub-registrars and reduce potential external influence, potentially improving governance of land records in urban areas.
