The real estate market in Mysuru is facing significant disruption, with nearly ₹1,000 crore worth of property transactions reportedly stuck due to issues with the e-Khata system. Developers, buyers, and brokers say technical glitches and procedural delays in the digital property record system have slowed registrations and loan approvals.
The e-Khata platform was introduced to streamline property documentation, improve transparency, and reduce manual errors in municipal records. However, stakeholders report challenges such as data mismatches, incomplete migration of legacy records, and delays in verification processes, which are preventing timely transaction closures.
For homebuyers, the delays have created uncertainty—particularly for those dependent on bank loans, as financial institutions typically require updated khata documents before disbursing funds. Developers warn that prolonged bottlenecks could impact cash flows, delay project completions, and dampen buyer sentiment.
Local real estate bodies have urged authorities to address technical shortcomings quickly and provide interim solutions to clear pending applications. Officials have acknowledged the concerns and are reportedly working to stabilise the system and resolve data-related issues.
Experts note that while digital reforms are essential for long-term efficiency and transparency, smooth implementation is critical to avoid short-term economic disruptions. Until the e-Khata issues are resolved, Mysuru’s real estate market may continue to experience temporary headwinds despite underlying demand remaining stable.
