Mojini: Karnataka's Survey Office, Online

Some Karnataka transactions cannot happen without the survey department drawing something first. Sell a portion of a survey number and the sub-registrar will ask for the 11E sketch; split a family holding and the podi survey defines the pieces. Mojini is the online counter where those drawings are ordered, tracked and delivered.

What Mojini is for

Definition

Mojini is the Karnataka survey establishment's online service window: applications for the 11E sketch that part-parcel sales require at registration, subdivision (podi) surveys that split holdings into hissas, and other formal sketches, filed, paid and tracked without visiting the survey office.

The 11E sketch is the service that touches most buyers. When only a portion of a survey number is being sold, the registration process requires a survey-drawn sketch of exactly that portion, boundaries measured, extent stated, before the deed can proceed. The sketch is not a formality; it is the legal geometry of what you are buying.

Podi is the sibling service for families and layouts: the formal subdivision that turns one holding into separately numbered hissas, each capable of its own RTC and its own clean sale later. A split that exists only in a family agreement, without the survey behind it, is a dispute deferred.

Mojini's real gift is the queue made visible. Survey requests historically vanished into offices; here they are filed with a fee, tracked by number, and delivered as documents you can put in a diligence file.

State-specific note: Time the 11E early. Ordering the sketch is the seller's job before a part-parcel deal is priced, and a buyer asked to advance money while the sketch is still pending is being asked to buy undefined ground.

Common Mojini issues, and the fix

Survey requests stall in four predictable ways.

Part sale attempted without 11E
The registration desk asks for the sketch mid-deal.
Fix: order it first; the deal timeline should absorb the survey, not collide with it.
Sketch disagrees with the negotiation
The measured portion differs from what was discussed.
Fix: renegotiate on the drawing; the sketch, not the handshake, is what registers.
Family split never surveyed
Hissas exist in agreement but not in record.
Fix: file the podi; unsurveyed splits resurface as disputes at every later sale.
Application parked
The request sits without movement.
Fix: follow up with the application number at the survey office; tracked files move.

Where Mojini decides the deal

Part-parcel purchases are the highest-friction transactions in Karnataka land, and the 11E is their gate.

⚠
Insist on the sketch before the advance
A buyer who insists on the sketch before the advance has converted vague ground into measured ground, and shifted the survey's cost and timeline to the side of the table that owns them.
📋
For families, the calculus is generational
For families, the calculus is generational: a podi filed today costs a fee; the unsurveyed split it replaces costs the next generation a courtroom.
Red flag: A part-parcel seller pricing urgency while the 11E remains unordered is selling ground that does not yet legally exist as a unit. The sketch first; everything else after.

Frequently asked questions

What is Mojini in Karnataka?
The survey department's online service window: 11E sketches, subdivision (podi) surveys and formal sketch requests, filed and tracked digitally.
What is an 11E sketch?
The survey-drawn sketch of a portion being sold out of a survey number, required at registration for part-parcel sales. It defines the legal geometry of the sale.
When do I need a podi?
Whenever one holding is being split into separately owned pieces, family partitions and layouts included. Each resulting hissa becomes its own recordable parcel.
Who orders the 11E, buyer or seller?
The seller, before the deal is priced. A buyer advancing money against a pending sketch is buying undefined ground.
How long does a survey request take?
It varies with the service and the queue. File early, hold the application number, and follow up with it; tracked requests move.
The sketch differs from what we agreed?
The sketch governs. Renegotiate on the measured drawing, because that is what the sub-registrar will register.
