Land details are captured from BHOOMI during registration process, there by avoiding duplicate registration.
KAVERI also transmits other information, using which Tahasildar generates the mutation notice instantly, thereby avoiding delay.
SMS service sends message on registration of the document and various stages of mutation to parties both in Kannada and English.
Integration with Banks through Bhoomi is in the pipeline to facilitate online filing of Loan Declarations (Form – 3).
