What is this service?
The rural property record system for Gram Panchayat areas.
Properties in Gram Panchayat areas are recorded in the e-Swathu system, which issues Form 9 and Form 11A/11B records used for taxation and transactions. Panchayat-area property work - records, tax, mutation, licences - runs through the Panchayat and the e-Swathu portal, not the city municipal system.
