eSwathu — Form 9 & Form 11B
For rural Karnataka properties registered with a Gram Panchayat (non-agricultural sites and houses), PropertyRisk pulls Form 9 and Form 11B records from eswathu.karnataka.gov.in — including automatic CAPTCHA solving via Gemini Vision.
Form 9 vs Form 11B
Form 9 — Property Register Extract
Confirms the property is officially registered on the Gram Panchayat's property register as a non-agricultural site. Without it, the property has no legal standing for non-agri use even if a sale deed exists.
Form 11B — Mutation Extract
The Gram Panchayat's record of every ownership transfer (via sale, inheritance, gift, or partition). The most recent mutation should match the current sale deed's buyer — if not, the chain of title is broken.
Auto-CAPTCHA solving
eSwathu protects its lookup form with a 5-character image CAPTCHA. We solve it automatically using Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Vision — empirically ~90% first-shot accuracy on real eSwathu CAPTCHAs (verified on a 10-sample test). If the first attempt fails, we reload the CAPTCHA and try again — up to 3 attempts before bailing. Combined hit rate is ~99%, and you don't pay extra for retries.
