What is Khatha?
Khatha literally means, account. It is a document that shows a property owner having an account with the Municipality or any civic authority (BBMP -Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike) for paying taxes. The details of a it include the property owner’s name, size/measurement of property, location,built-up area, vacant or occupied etc., and is essentially required to calculate the total tax payable on that property.
You need it to apply for electricity (BESCOM) and water (BWSSB) connections, for trade and building licenses, building plan approval. It is also one of the important documents to be submitted to a bank when you are applying for a loan.
Difference between A Khatha and B Khatha?
There is no B-Khata as such. Few years back, the extent of area under BBMP jurisdiction was extended and City Municipal Councils / Village Panchayats were brought under BBMP limits. This is when property owners’ details were entered in B-Register maintained by BBMP and acknowledgments were issued just to facilitate tax collection process.
The point to note is, not all B-register properties are unworthy. I personally involved in one property deal wherein the seller of a property had all the required documents like Conversion order, uptodate betterment charges receipts etc and it’s just that his property was not under BBMP limits earlier. He got his property converted to A-Khatha. But, ofcourse money/ time needs to be invested and may have to face lot of bureaucratic hurdles.
Types of Applications:
Khata registration for newly allotted plots or Khatha for the first time.
Khata for transferred properties.
Khata for bifurcated properties.
Khatha for amalgamated (combined) properties.

My experience:
I had applied for Khata transfer in 2008 at BBMP, Bommanahalli office through a middleman. Along with the application I had submitted Sale deed, last property tax paid receipt, previous owner’s Khatha details, Encumbrance Certificate (EC) and required fee. I got Khatha transfer done in 15 days after few follow-ups.
On Khatha registration;
I had bought BDA auction site in HSR Layout for which I got Khatha registration done at Bommanahalli BBMP (CMC) office. I had submitted registration application, Possession certificate,Sale deed, Latest Encumbrance Certificate (EC) reflecting the current owner name and Demand Draft (DD) for khatha registration and property tax.

Hi Sreekanth Reddy,
Greetings for the Day…!!
I would to inform we are three brothers and one sister all got married my sister stay separate we have ancestor property in richmond town recently i have lost may dad and mom…..During my dad alive return will for 3 brothers equally share and one third value give cash to my sister…We have agreed to pay cash accordingly to property value.
She sent the injunction order and return OS number in the building …..We would to transfer khata in our name .
Please suggested us in this regard.
Dear Ramesh,
Injunction order is a court order. So, you also may have to take legal route only.
But, it is better to speak to your sister openly and settle this issue amicably (out-of-court settlement).
Once, the issue is sorted out, you can go for Khata transfer.
Hi Srikanth,
I am planning to buy a flat in Electronic city phase 1. When we approached a lawyer with the documents provided by the builder, he says that the khata is not valid as it is a hand written one. He says the valid once is only E Khata. Is that correct ? What can be done to obtain the E khata ? The builder says that E khata is not available with the Hebbagodi Panchayat and the available one in only the old style hand written one. is it safe to buy the flat ? Can we re-sell it at later point of time without any issues ?
Regards
Krishna Prasad
Dear Krishna,
Your lawyer might be right. You may ask your builder to get e-Khata done in his name.
You may also visit the panchayat office and try to find out if e-Khata can be issued for the said property.
Sir, we have taken half site in our village which is of conversation site the other of is taken by our partners we have got registration also be done but for the khatha they r telling half site khatha registration scheme as gone nw is that true… If it is what we should do… N hw many days it may take for khatha registration…
Dear Subramani..I believe that site should be at least 600 sq ft to get Khata bifurcation done (assuming this property is in Karnataka). I am not very sure if the rules have changed now.
Dear Srikanth,
I am planning to buy a plot in Bidadi which is BMRDA approved. The seller has provided Form-9 and Form-11 Khatha documents(In which there is no property-ID only Name and other stuffs details have been mentioned).
But 1 year back Bidadi is moved to Municipal town limits. So i had asked the seller for E-KHATA. Seller had initially agreed for it. But now he says that E-Khata is not possible in Bidadi Municipal town and has given me FORM-3(Saying this the Khatha ceritficatie).
Can you please tell me whether i can go ahead with buying the plot? And ask for Seller do the Khatha transfer.
Also let me know,is FORM 3 is Khata certificate?
Regards
Dear JAM,
I believe that Form No. 3 is just a receipt/tax assessment extract and not a Khata.
You may insist on getting E-Khata (if applicable) done. Also, take a legal expert’s advice.
Hi Srekanth,

Dear Niranjan ..I believe that’s all you have to do.
Thanks Mate, I am planning to pay betterment fees down the line. So if betterment fees is paid I can apply for A Khatha right?
Dear Niranjan ..It depends on the location & documents you have. Suggest you to check about the eligibility of getting A-khata on your property with BBMP staff when paying the betterment charges.

with some Kind of NOC can i directly transfer the Khata to my name with latest SALE DEED which is on my name ?
Dear abhiram ..Best and ideal way is to get the khata transfer done to the current owner’s name and then on to your name.
HI can you please share the contact info of middleman/agent for khata related services of BBMP Bomannahalli Bangalore
Hello I am selling my apartment in Purva Venezia. When I took possession the apartment was registered.
Do I need Khata done BEFORE the new buyer can get the flat Registered in his name?
Dear Pradeep ..Your buyer may ask for it. So, its better to kindly get it done and then sell your property.
Sreekanth I must commend you for your blog and the info provided.
I live outside Bangalore so getting anything done is a hassle.
Buyer is not insisting on Khata. Question is about Registration.
Can the Buyer get the Registration done without the Khata?
I had the property registered when I took over from Purvankara. All Registration charges, Taxes etc are all paid and up to date and have receipts.
In other words ” Will the registrar refuse to register if there is no Khata?”
Thanks once again!!!
Dear Pradeep,
Yes, registration can be done (kindly note that Registration dept & Civic body like BBMP are not inter-linked).
Hi Sreekanth Reddy,
I am Sudhir. I brought site in Shiva reddy layout, Naganathpura near Central Jail. Recently it is converted to BBMP limit before buying me. I got B-Khatha. There is any chance to transfer A-Khatha. If yes, what the procedure i have follow, please help I am planning to build house. My site is 30×20.
Regards,
Sudhir
Dear Sudhir ..If you have all the required documents, you can get it converted to A-Khata. Suggest you to visit your nearest BBMP ward office and inquire about this.
Hello Sreekanth,
I have given my xerox documents to broker for doing Katha, is there any chances that he may cheat me and my property writes in his name
Dear Shakeel..It’s very tough to get the registration done in his name without your signature & biometric details.
Hi Srikanth,
I have purchased site from JR Urbania which is in chandapur anekal road. This comes under Anekal planning authority. Initially they said that they will do e-khatha transfer. But now they are saying any site purchased after 1-12-2015 needs to pay 1% tax on registration value.
Any idea on this?
Dear kiran,
I am not sure about this. You may kindly check with any civil lawyer.
This is not true. my property comes under Chandapura limits. e-khata charges are Rs.100.
documents required by Chandapura panchayat office (CMC office now):
I. Owner’s photograph
II. Property Photograph
III. Owner’s photo identification
IV. Land conversion order copy
V. BMRDA Approval of plan
VI. BMRDA Approval Plan
VII. BMRDA Release Order
VIII. Phone number and contact details
IX. Latest tax paid receipt
X. Form 9 and 11
XI. Copy of Sale Deed
FAQ:
What is e-khata?
The khata extract which was given to the site owners as form 9 and 11 previously is not converted into online form which is called e-khata. The registers at Panchayat office are getting converted into online database. We think it should reduce corruption.
How is e-khata different?
e-Khata contains owners photo, site photo, plan approval records, land conversion details and everything else you need to know about a property ownership and authenticity.
How does e-khata help?
In selling, it is required by Sub-Registrar for making any sale registry. For buyers it gives detail record of land and ownership. For House/site owners, it is a good record of land, encumbrance and ownership with photograph and summary of all details of the property.
Thank you dear Santosh for sharing this information.
I have a A Katha Plot of size 30 x 50 ft under BBMP limit. Now i am planning to construct a G+3 residential building consisting one house in each floor and sell two floors to some one else. Will the Purchase get the Katha Certificate for his floor individually? Please advice.
Dear Veeresh,
If you can get the registration done separately then I believe that you can also get Khata separately.
Hi
When i applied for Khata transfer, the due process of verification of relevant records was followe dna then a document called Uttar Patra was issued. Is this the Khata? If not then what needs to be done next to get the final Khata certificate? Kindly advise.
Dear Prashant,
Before a Khata is processed, a document named as ‘Uttarapatra’ (acknowledgment of application) is generated and given to the applicant.
Did you submit the required documents?
The applicant is normally asked to submit a notarized copy of the Sale deed, latest Tax paid receipt, EC from the date of registration until current date, betterment charges receipt (if applicable) and old Khata document (in case of transfer), following which the applicant will receive the Khata.
Hi Sreekanth
Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes, i was asked to submit the above mentioned docs (although not sure if they asked the old Khatha doc). Thereafter within a few days a group of BBMP officials came and inspected the property and asked me to come to the ARO’s office within a week’s time. When i went there, there was one person from among the group who had visited to verify the property. He handed over the Uttarpatra On the Uttarpatra it has been mentioned that “it has been recorded in the books that the Khata has been transferred from the old owner to me”. Hence i thought that this would have been the end of the process. Later i got to know that there is one further step to be taken to get the Khata Patra . Not sure what has to be done to get the Khata Patra after having got the Uttarpatra.
Dear Prashant ..I have provided the sample Khata certificate image in the article. Kindly ask the officials to issue KC. (Hope they are not expecting some under the table payment).
Great guess..!!! 🙂 They had in fact asked. I refused… :). Just wanted to know whether issuing of Uttarpatra and then the Khatha certificate is the usual course of action.
Dear Prashant ..As per the rules, YES.
Dear Srikanth,
I purchased a A Khata plot last year on bank loan, But Khata has not got transferred in my name. Now, my bank was asking for the latest tax paid receipt.

Hi sreekanth

One query please help
You mentioned thru online module one can apply for khata cert but the link provided does not take us to the module. Can we really apply it online by attaching all scan copies of our house docs without having the need to visit bbmp office ?
For flat in raghuvanahalli, kanakpura road, sumo leaves which bbmp office has to be visited to apply for khatha if online application is not possible ?
Regards
Mithun
Dear Mithun..Even I have noticed that the online Khata services is not available on BBMP website. Looks like the online facility has now been removed.

Dear Sreekanth sir,
I am planning to purchase a property nearby electronic city. It is B-khata property and comes under BBMP. Seller purchased land in 2014, but still now they are not paid tax and not transferred Khata to in her name. Now she wants to do khata transfer activity, but in BBMP- Bomanahalli , officers telling that , up to September 2016, they are unable to do khata transfer and to give tax receipt in her name.
My query is – if I registered the property in my name now,

2)how khata will be transferred to my name without transferring to seller name?
3) OR shall wait until khata has to transfer to seller first.
PLease clearify. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Girish
Dear Girish,
1 – It is possible but you may have to bear the entire tax payments.
2 – Based on the latest details in the Sale deed.
3 – Advisable to wait.
Hi Srikanth,

Hello Sir,
I purchased a B Khata vacant land of 750 Square Feet near Kodigehalli/Hebbal, I had gotten the B Khata registration done last year in the BBMP office. Now, the same BBMP office claims it’s a fake B Khata Certificate and are demanding for 7000 INR for reissuing a new B Khata certificate, I am unsure if the new B Khata also turns out to be a fake one.
I was not given the Khata Certificate by the vendor whilst registering the property on my name, however based on Sale Deed and Encumbrance certificate can I proceed for a Khata Registration or I should go for Khata Transfer, also to add the EChallan for paying the tax still reflects the old owner name.
Hi Sreekanth,
As A GPA holder I bought a plot for my NRI brother an E khata panchayat plot in Kannur area.
Village president said to pay 1% of sale value of the plot, i.e. 30,000 for my 30Lakh registered value.
In BBMP , 2% on registration charges applicable, which is reasonable.
Could you comment on the govt charges and service charge to the Panchayat office?
Dear Srikanth..I dont think the charges are such high (legal charges). I believe that they have included all EXTRAs 🙂
Hi Sreekanth,
We have bought a E Khata plot ( Panchat Limit ) 3 months ago. When I approach Panchayat president , he said 1% of register value should be paid as government charges , i.e 30,000 for my plot registered at 30Lakh value. Usually the amount should be 2% on the registration value in BBMP . Could you please clarify it.
and additionally some bribe . How much usual bribe in this case?
For an NRI who has GPA here, do we need to provide any additional docs ?
Hi Sreekanth,
I bought a BDA auction plot in HSR 4 years back. I did not do khata that time. Now decided to do it. AS per the above post, I have to provide below documents. Have some doubts here.
Copies of previous tax paid receipts (if any) – I am not paying the tax from past 4 years from the time registration happened. Can I pay tax before Khata transfer ? If yes, whose name I should pay it?
Possession certificate – Where do I get this?
Sketch showing the location of property – Should we approach any Engineer for this?
Application in prescribed form – Can I download this form from some where ?
Attested copy of the title deed – I hope gezetted sign on sale deed should be OK.
Dear Srikanth,
I too have bought an E-auction site (BDA).
At the time of applying for Khata Transfer, you just need to enclose a DD towards payment of Property tax dues in the name of BBMP Commissioner.
PC is not applicable for individual plots. However you should have got Allotment letter from BDA.
Location MAP – They have not asked me.
I have just submitted Sale Deep Copy, application form (you can also get it at BBMP help centres or BBMP ward office), DD for property tax, DD for Khata Registration & allotment letter copy.
I purchased a flat in KR Puram. But not yet done the Khata transfer. so how to do it and what will be the charges. and a middle man is saying if we pay him 5000 rs he will do everything. Will it be true. Can I proceed paying money to middle man or can I contact BBMP office. Which will be better? Please suggest.
Dear Indumathi..You may first kindly contact BBMP office and find out about the possibility of Khata transfer on your property. If you do not get property response then you may go ahead with the middle-man.
Hi Sreekanth,
I live abroad. My father has a BDA plot in Bangalore that was allotted to him 10 yrs ago. Now, he would like to gift it to me. I have a brother who has no interest in this. Is it possible to get it transfered in my name? and what is the procedure.
Thank you,
Shridhar
Dear Shridhar,
Yes, he can execute a Gift Deed in your name. Another option : He may also write a WILL.

Gifts & Tax implications.
I bot a flat in 2013 and the seller did not have the katha at that time due to some issues. Later after few months I got the original katha of the seller. I need to transfer it to my name which has not been done till 2016.
What is the procedure and the fees for Katha?
thanks
sriram
Dear sriram..Kindly go through the article & comments.
IN MY APARTMENT, ALL THE 7 FLATS WERE ISSUED A KHATA BY ARO CONCERNED. I PURCHASED A FLAT ON 2ND SALE WITH A KHATA FROM THE IST OWNER WHO HAD PAID PROPERTY TAX UNDER A KHATA FOR THE PREVIOUS FOUR YEARS. WHEN I APPLIED FOR KHATA TRANSFER AND PAID TAX, ARO ISSUED B KHATA AND ISSUED TAX AS B KHATA WITHOUT MY NAME. ON ENQUIRY, OTHER 6 FLAT OWNERS ALSO FACED THE SAME FATE AS B KHATA ON PAYING TAX.
THIS PROVES THE BUILDER WHO SOLED THE FLATS BRIBED THE ARO AND GOT A KHATA ISSUED TO ALL OWNERS. WHY SHOULD WE POOR OWNERS SHOULD SUFFER FOR THE ILLEGAL A KHATA ISSUED ON BRIBE? WE WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED SUCH ILLEGAL FLATS. ONE OF OUR FLAT OWNES HAS MOVED HIGH COURT, WHO IS STILL SITTING ON THE CASE WITH DELIVERING THE ORDER, ALTHOUGH COURT CONDEMNED BBMP FOR SUCH ILLEGAL KHATAS AND BBMP ASSURED OF NOT REVOKING A KHATA. BUT COURT RULING IS STILL AT LARGE
Dear Prabhakar..Unfortunately in our country MONEY makes many things (unwanted) happen.
Hello Srikanth,
Recently, I have purchased a site in a private layout which was approved by BDA. I have Khata certificate on builder name and want to transfer to my name. Could you please guide on my below queries:
1. Do I need to get Khata transferred in BDA office only since Layout is BDA approved?
2. What is difference between BDA and BBMP Khata?
3. Do I need to do Khata Transfer again from BDA to BBMP at later stage if I get Khata transferred in BDA office now?
4. How we can identify the difference between ‘A’ Khata and ‘B’ Khata? Is there anything would be mentioned on Khata certificate about this?
Thanks!
Dear Yogesh,
1 – No.
2 – Now BDA wont issue Khata. You have to get it from BBMP only.
3 – No
4 – I believe that for B khata you wont get the certificate and you can only pay Property tax etc and the same will be recorded in the B-register of BBMP.
Dear Sreekanth,
Thanks for the response! I believe, the area where I purchased the site is still not came under BBMP juridiction. If this is the case, do I need to transfer the Khata to BDA or BBMP?
Regards,
Dear Yogesh..You may kindly visit nearest BBMP help centre and get more details. Else the site may fall under BMP or any panchayat limits.
Hi Seekanth,
We have a property which was purchased under my name as I was small the sale deed was done under with my mom as guardian for my property in 1992 now I’m trying to apply for katha, is it possible to get it now is there any law that I can’t get it after so many years
Dear Thejaswini,
Property was purchased in your name when your were minor and when u attend majority you become the absolute owner of the property. I believe that you can get Khata transfer done to your name.
Dear Srikanth,
I have purchased a flat recently and it is B-khata, the land belongs to two people and they made MOU with developers to build apartments. Now few of us as flat owners decided to get the Khata, Please advice us on the formalities to be followed and other things to take care.
Thanks,
Sampath
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for the article! Wanted to check something, would appreciate any response. We had a site which we purchased a few years back. Recently, we got the B-katha done by submitting all the sale deeds including the title deed. The katha has the right name, but when we go online to pay the tax for the property we still see the old owner’s name. Is this normal? If not, what is the best way to correct this?
Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
Abhiram K
Dear Abhiram,
Probably the details have not yet been updated. Suggest you to apply for Khata extract and check the details.
Hi Sreekanth,
I am planning to take a property which is in BBMP area and the house is B katha(panchyath approve),owner is ready to convert it to A katha. Is it possible to pay betterment charges and convert it in to A katha and what is the process, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Dear SNS..It is possible if all the documents are clear and in-place. You may ask your prospective seller to convert it to A-Khatha to his name and then you can buy the property (afterwhich you can do the Khata transfer to your name).
HAI SIR, WHEN V WANT TO BUY PROPERTY WHITCH IN ‘A’ KATHA.. WHEN IT TRANSFERED TO MY NAME DO KATHA CHANGES TO ‘B’ OR ‘E’ KATHA pls help me?????
Dear NETHRAVATHI..If the property is A-Khatha one, after the transfer too it has to remain the same.
Dear Srikanth,
I had purchased a Gramantha Panchayat site 3 years back. I wanted to transfer Katha to my name. When i went and inquired for the Katha transfer, they told me the owner of the site who has given the Katha is a forged one. Iam confused. Called the owner but not getting proper response. Please let me know what i should do in this case? The officer of Gramantha Panchayat informed me that all other documents are proper.
Dear Vishwa..Suggest you to first apply for Khata extract and try to find out in whose name the katha has been entered and then take action accordingly.
Hi srikanth., actually I m luking to buy site near nelamangala which comes under Bangalore north taluk Bangalore district.. It is a DC conversion site. But the owner is not giving khata and title deed. And he says he can only get manual khata

Dear Sanjeev..You have to first clear the property tax dues, get the latest tax paid receipt and then can apply for Khata transfer.
My home is in Hulimavu, Bannerghatta Road, in my father’s name. He passed away two years ago, and the ownership passed to my mother. Property is still in my father’s name and is B-khata. What are the steps I should take now to get A-khata and ownership in my mother’s name?
Dear Sudhir..Kindly go through the article : What is Mutation of Property?
Dear Sir,
I have a property registered in Gowribidanur Tq, Chikkaballapur District. I have Sale Deed and PID given by Developer.
Do you know any link how could I check if I am allotted Khatha or not?
What Could I do online to get it ?
Dear Balakrishna,
I do not believe that online provision is available to check Panchayat limits land records. Kindly visit the revenue office and ask for Khata-extract.
Kindly read: What is Mutation of Property?

Dear Vinil,
Kindly visit your BBMP ward office and submit below documents;
Application in prescribed form
Copies of Registered title deed
Tax paid receipts
Sketch showing the bifurcation of the property and its measurements
NOC from BDA if the property is located in BDA layout (for vacant lands)
Applicable fee/charges.
Dear Srikanth,
I had purchased land in 2003. Ever since, I have been paying the taxes regularly every year. The tax receipts are in my name. However ,the Khatha certificate still shows the old owner’s name. Should I be concerned about this?
Another question I have is, can someone get the khatha transferred into their name, without a sale deed?
Dear LG,
Probably it is a B-Khata (B Register) property. Kindly visit nearest BBMP/Panchayat office and get more information about the property’s Khata details.
Valid & latest sale deed have to be submitted to get Khata transfer done.
