Karnataka budget gives priority to streamlining GST
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 16 (ANI): In his budget presentation, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced a slew of initiatives aimed at improving land record management, providing drought relief, and streamlining the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system.
The bhoo-Suraksha scheme will be launched on a pilot basis, to digitize land records, preventing forgery and ensuring transparency. The land extent in Akarbands and RTCs will be interlinked for faster service delivery to landowners.
Phodi Abhiyana 2.0 will roll out in remaining villages with multiple ownership "phodi-free" (single ownership) to facilitate easier transactions. Dharakastu Phodi Abhiyana will voluntarily prepare land records for undisputed lands, smoothening the correction process for farmers. Property and title deeds will be issued to landowners through a phased drone survey of the entire state. Mutations without notice will be automatically approved, except for specific cases, improving efficiency.
