Restore PDOs power to issue 9/11A, 11B forms, says MLC
An MLC in Karnataka has urged the government to restore the power of issuing property documents (Form 9/11A and 11B) to Panchayat Development Officers. He cited significant delays and technical glitches in the current centralized system as the primary reasons for the request.
Why it matters
The issue highlights the friction between centralized digital governance and the practical needs of rural property owners.
Kishore Kumar Puttur, MLC, on Tuesday urged the government to restore to panchayat development officers (PDOs) in gram panchayats the power to issue Form 9/11A, a document issued for non-agricultural properties, and Form 9/11B to people living in rural areas.
Form 11A and Form 11B are official property tax and khata extract documents issued by gram panchayats through the e-Swathu portal for properties under rural jurisdiction.
Form 11A is issued for fully compliant, legally approved and duly converted non-agricultural properties, while Form 11B is issued for properties recorded in panchayat registers strictly for tax collection purposes but which lack complete legal approval or conversion.
