India, March 21 -- Bengaluru's e-Khata system is moving towards time-bound approvals, with the city's municipal body stating that about 99% of applications are now processed within four to five days. Any delay beyond five working days will trigger automatic approval, according to a GBA statement.

"E-Khata services are being provided through a simple online process to make e-Khata issuance easier and eliminate the need for citizens to make any visit to government offices. . If a final e-Khata application is not attended to within five working days, the system will automatically initiate approval. So no one can hold up citizen requests in the system, just now rolled out," Special Commissioner Munish Moudgil said in the statement.
