Municipal Corporation Nitin Kareer forwarded a proposal to the PMC’s Standing Committee to permit Infotech Pvt Ltd to run the project on a Build-Operate-Transfer basis. If the proposal is approved by the civic body, citizens will have to pay Rs 125 for the change in name and Rs 1.25 for printed copies of the same.

After getting the properties — sold or purchased — authorised from the office of sub-registrar, citizens can give their applications to the tendered company.

During the process of getting the name of the property owner changed, citizens can also pay the acquisition charges, current property tax and the pending dues. Following which, they will be provided with a provincial certificate and after the completion of process, a completion certificate will be given. Making the process online is a part of the tax reform agenda under the Center’s Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). Kareer, in his proposal, also stated that allowing the process online will help bring in transparency.

He added that many people are not aware of the process and the documents required for the same.
