The sales of new homes shot up recently in India, thanks to several supportive measures taken by the Government of India. For instance, major cities like Maharashtra and Karnataka have slashed the stamp duty to boost the realty market in their respective states. More specifically, Karnataka has cut the stamp duty from 5% to 3% for houses within a price range of Rs.21 lakh – Rs.35 lakh.
Besides, Karnataka also launched Bhoomi RTC back in the year 2000 to digitalise land records and facilitate online access to land registry in the state. Bhoomi Karnataka RTC is an initiative taken jointly by the Central and State Government to streamline land records management.
Nevertheless, individuals who are planning to purchase land to build a home need to know about its details to register, check and gain access to their land record online at their convenience.
