Form-11 is a document issued by the Gram Panchayat for non-agricultural properties in its jurisdiction as per Karnataka Panchayat Raj (Grama Panchayat Budgeting and Accounting) Rules 2006, Amendment Rules 2013 mentioned under Rule 30. Form-11 register is also called as Register of Demand, Collection and Balance of land and building.
Form-9 is a document issued by the Gram Panchayat for non-agricultural properties in its jurisdiction as per Karnataka Panchayat Raj (Grama Panchayat Budgeting and Accounting) Rules 2006, Amendment Rules 2013 mentioned under Rule 28. Gram Panchayats can issue Form 9 only for properties that are- a) duly converted as per the provisions under of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act,1964 by the respective Revenue Department Office and also have approved plans sanctioned as per the Town and Country Planning Act and other related enactments by the respective Urban Development Department Plan sanctioning office. b) For the Basava, Ambedkar and Indira Awaas Yojana Government housing scheme beneficiaries as per the Housing Department circular dated 30.01.2012 bearing number HD 55 HAS 2011. c) For properties which are attested by the Tahsildar through a sketch certifying the location as located within the Gramathana of the village as per Revenue Department circular bearing No. RD 174 MUNOMU 2005 d
For the Gram Panchayats Form Number 9 and 11 are essentially instruments for property tax collection. Gram Panchayats are local civic bodies and and are authorised as per section 199 of the Karnataka Panchayat Raj Act,1993 to collect property taxes. However the Revenue department in its circular no RD344 Munomu 2005 dated 06-04-2009 as amended in 2013 has made Form-9 and Form-11 mandatory documents for non agricultural properties coming under the jurisdiction of Grama Panchayats for carrying out registration. Hence citizens seeking to sell their property apply for Form 9 and 11 in Gram Panchayats.
