He said the property owners have to provide Aadhaar number (to protect property from fraudulent transactions), mobile number (to send alerts/information to owners regarding their property), family member details as declared by owner (for securing property rights of family members), photograph of owner (for printing on the maroon NPB), extent of plot and built up area.

Both the above channels_online and Mee Seva are available with immediate effect for GHMC and Municipalities. Those who have already enlisted through property through Mobile App need not enlist again using the above channels.

Now, a similar database is proposed to be created for non-agricultural properties for which maroon colour Non-Agriculture Immovable Property Passbooks (NPBs) would be issued.
