1. UPOR PROJECT – URBAN PROPERTY OWNERSHIP RECORDS PROJECT KARNATAKA

2. 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.

3. Different Types of records (13) Gramathana Urban Develoment Authority Layouts developed by private persons Alienated land but layout not approved Revenue sites Karnataka Housing Board Slum Board Allotted by local bodies Karnataka industrial area development board Private Housing Co-operative Societies Government Land With Survey Number Government Land Without Survey Number Agriculture Land

Syr. Generation of map / Digitization of textual Data Quality Check of textual data by SP and Department Title Enquiry by Dept. Issue of Draft PR Card (Tentative) Issue Notice & Invite public objections Issue Final PR card Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Creation of Data Delivery of Service Stage 4

10. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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

14. 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

18. 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

19. 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

20. Index Map and Detailed Map Index Map before measurement Detailed Map after measurement
