In November 2018, the Karnataka government launched an online portal named Kaveri Online Services, which enables property owners to access the property and document-related services from their home.

After having published the step by step guide to online property registration in Delhi, which was much appreciated by our readers, we bring a similar guide to online property registration in Bangalore.
