BANGALORE: "There is a transaction on your land bearing survey no. X of Y village of Z taluk. This is for your information. Sender: Bhoomi."
An SMS beeps on your mobile. This alert system, designed by Bhoomi, a part of e-governance department, which should be up in a month, will help landowners who reside in places other than where their property is situated.With dubious transactions via impersonation becoming the order of the day, such tip-offs about mutation can come as a boon, e-governance secretary Rajeev Chawla told TOI.
"The software is ready and has to be integrated with the Bhoomi system. We are in talks with SMS service providers on the user charge and other modalities,"he said.
The department will charge a fee for users who want this facility and their mobile numbers will be registered in the Bhoomi kiosk.
The SMS alert can also be for a legal transaction initiated by the owner. For those who don't have mobile phones, the department is considering another form of informing them, says Gurumurthy of Bhoomi Monitoring Cell.
Under Bhoomi, as many as 4.9 crore farmers have availed of the services by obtaining Record of right, tenancy and crop certificate. Fee of Rs 15 is charged per record.
