About 13 years after the concept of ‘anywhere registration’ was rolled out in Bengaluru to provide ease of registration to people, the State government has decided to extend it to all the districts in Karnataka. While the government launched the ‘anywhere registration’ facility in Tumakuru and Belagavi on Thursday, it will be extended to all districts over the next couple of months.
The concept was launched in 2011 in Bengaluru. Now, as many as 72 sub-registrar offices in five registration districts of Bengaluru (Rajajinagar, Basavanagudi, Gandhinagar, Jayanagar, and Shivajinagar), and Tumakuru and Belagavi districts have been covered. Under the concept, people are given the option to choose any of the sub-registrar’s offices within their district to register documents, instead of approaching only the jurisdictional sub-registrar.
