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.

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.
Online Khatha Application:

Hi Sir , i have got my katha transfered from a resale flat. there is a mistake in area name. it should have been Hoshalli, but mentioned as Thalagattapura, lookas like the mistake was from my end while applying through online. can this be corrected?
Is there any rule that BBMP can charge 0.5% is sale consideration rather than 2% of stamp duty for property > 1 cr for khatha transfer ? This is what my agent is telling me ! Also asking me to pay in cash although promising receipt for entire amount
Hi Mr Sreekanth,
Kudos to outstanding service. I applied for transfer of Khata for purchase of flat (A khata) through Sakala in Dec 21 & my application was approved on 10 Jan 22. The ward office issued me the Uttara Patra on 12 Jan and told me that the issue of new E Aasthi khata is held up due to technical problems in the software. Is it so, and what would be timeframe for issue of the new format Khata Certificate ?
Hey Arjunan- Even for me the same. I got only the Uttara Patra and nothing a word about the Khata Certificate. Mine was done at the Yeshwantpura ward office.
I was told that they are working on the e-khata platform and not sure when are they going to issue the Khatha Certificate to me 🙁
Hello Shrikanth , Thank you very much for all your information you are providin in your web sites.

Hi, recently i submitted the online application in the Sakala website for Khata transfer, but i see the status as “Rejected” and the Remarks as “This property is a B register property”, does anyone know what this means and what we have to do for Khata transfer to the new owner of the flat.
Dear Chanda,
Suggest you to kindly approach the concerned civic body office (Panchayat/Corporation) and check if its possible to convert it to A-Khatha??
Hi sreekanth…i have a dc converted land in kolar district..and am planning a layout(30×40 sites) on that land..how much do i have to pay to get khatas for the sites?
Dear Rohit,
Kindly contact the concerned office staff @ Panchayat/Municipality.

Hi shreekanth reddy..me and my partner purchased a land in kolar district and did layout planning.now we want to distribute plots amongs us..can we get khata on our individual names?or we will get khata in our names jointly?because i want to get the khata on my name separately for the specific plots i am getting after distribution.
Also if you could provide info if there is some kind of form to be filled in order to get the khata of particular site in my own name and not jointly with my other partner.
Dear Rohit,
On whose name(s) the original plot (entire plot) Khatha has been registered with??
Entire land registered in myslf and my partner’s name
And khata for few sites already bn alloted in the joint name of both of us.want to apply for khata for the remaining sites
Dear Rohit,
In case, you both bifurcate the land into individual smaller plots and get them registered in your name, you can get Khatha in your name alone.
Else, the plots have a joint khatha only.
Kindly do consult a civil lawyer in this regard.

Hello Sreekanth,

But the Application got Rejected with Remarks Saying “This property comes under B Form Register. kodigehalli village.” Now What I should do Kindly Help me in this.
Thank You In Advance.
Dear Chandramouli,
Did you check with your Seller on this?
Whether they have been paying the property taxes??
Did you take legal opinion before buying the property?
Hi Sreekanth, am planning to purchase a plot in a layout (doesnt come under BIAAPA) whose KHATA is available online and in manual register for the entire land. When I asked for individual KHATA document for the plot am planning to buy, devloper is insisting that he will get it done 2 days before the registration date and i need not worry about it. Also to prove his point he has provided me individual KHATA documents of some other plot number in the same layout(whose registration is done), the document which he has provided me matches with the data i could fine online on e-swathu, so to verify i visited the gram panchayat office where i could not find manual entry in the register on that particular site. I have known that both manual as well as online katha is necessary, without entry in manual register one cannot pay their property taxes. Is it right..?? Can manual entry be done after now..?? Can u plz advice on how to proceed further..?
Dear Akived,
Keep it simple – You may insist for an individual plot khatha in Seller’s name and then go ahead! (Kindly do take legal advice before buying the plot)

Hi Srikanth,
your blogs are clear and well understanding for the process of registration and khatha registration and lot.
Hi sreekanth,
We are purchasing a plot in horamavu. It will be a bifurcation plot since owner is selling half the plot and the docs are in bank. I am bit confused that when khata bifurcation happens. Is it after registration r before,..
Dear Archana,
Advisable to request the owner to get khatha bifurcation done (two sites in his name) then get your share registered and then you can get khatha transfer done in your name (for your site).

Hi Shrikant,
I have taken a land in green zone in vabasandra near ecity. I have done the registered sale deed. I wanted to know on the process and cost involved for khata transfer, mutation and also on DC conversion . Please guide .
Dear Nitish,
I doubt if its possible to get DC conversion for a green zone land now?
Suggest you to kindly take help of a civil lawyer or visit the concerned civic body office (Panchayat/municipality)..
Hi,
If the property is purchased with a home loan (and the EC showing the bank as the current owner), can the Khata be transferred to the owner/borrower’s name or is it transferred on the bank’s name? The original Khata on the previous owner’s name is with the bank.
Thanks in advance!
Hello sir, I’m planning to buy a site in doddagubbi panchayat. It’s a DC converted land. It’s divided into 8 plots. Now, there is a e-khata for this entire land. If we buy any one plot then how do we get individual khata? Owner is telling next year this panchayat will become bbmp. So, no need to get individual khata.if we apply for khata do we get e- khata? For construction of house from whom we should get permission? Without khata in our ne can we do construction?
Dear Ranjit,
Request your seller to arrange for Khatha bifurcation and separate Khatha certificate for 8 individual plots..
Hi Sreekanth,
We are planning to buy panchayati e-katha site near electronic city, the bank loan is approved and advance for site given to land owner in Jan first week, couldn’t get the registration done immediately due to personal reasons.
The registration has closed since mid of Jan.
What is our options here :
1. The owner is backing out from agreed per sft rate as the area listed to become BBMP limits in a year
2. Will the registration open before bank side starts giving us new trouble
Dear Kamal,
Why are the registrations closed since mid of Jan?
Hi Sreekanth,
We have bought a flat in E-City Phase 1,
Would like your inputs on what would be the khata transfer fee rate and would it calculated on the stamp fees paid or on the purchase price of the flat.
Regards,
Keerthi
Dear Keerthi,
Stamp Fee to be paid is 2% of the Stamp Duty that you have paid at the time of your Sale Deed registration.
So suppose you paid a Stamp Fee of around Rs. 5 lakhs at the time of registering your property, the Stamp Fee at the time of Khata transfer would be 2% of 5 lakhs i.e. Rs 10,000 .
For the exact fees, suggest you to visit the concerned Panchayat office
Thanks for the reply Sreekanth. Would there be any other charges apart from the above?
Hi,
Can we get khata transfer done online for gram panchayati sites? Because there is mandatory fields in the online application to fill ward number of the area. But this is not applicable for areas under gram panchayat. So how do we apply for e khata transfer? I dont want to spend money on agents.
Dear Raghav,
I doubt if this can be done through online mode.
You may kindly visit the concerned Panchayat office and get this done.
Hi sreekanth,
I own an flat in apartment with 8 flats and me and my other flat owner is not ready right now for the khata transfer and rest other are willing do it if they proceed with khata transfer now can we both do it later once we are prepared. Kindly suggest.
Dear Mahesh,
Yes, you can get it done anytime.
But, dont you think its better to get this done as a group??
Thank you.
Hi Sreekanth, I bought a flat in 2018 but wasn’t able to do khata transfer rightaway. Since I took a home loan, the lending bank took all originals the very day of registration and I only have copies of documents. Now three years later I get to know that the original khata certificate is not with the bank.It’s not with me either and the seller says they handed over all documents during registration. Please advise how to go about this situation
Dear JC,
You can get a Khatha extract from the concerned civic body office (BBMP/Panchayat).
Along with other required docs, you can get the transfer done to your name.
Thanks a million Sreekanth!!!
Hi Sreekanth, Great info for newbies like me who has no clue on how to go about the process. As you suggested, I tried to apply online for Khata registration via Sakala site but I can’t seem to find my property general proximity in the drop down. My property is located in Nelamangala. My question is, can I request for Khata for Nelemangala sites via this portal?
Dear Rama,
I have observed that some property owners got the khatha done easily through sakala and some found it time-consuming.
You may also visit the concerned BBMP office (or helpcentre) and can get this done.
Hi Srikanth,
Thanks for doing this wonderful job!
I have a plot in Bidadi,Ramanagara District. Can I apply khata online?

Hi Sreekanth, I have a query regarding khata transfer.
my khata transfer request is rejected saying documents not match , the reason which RI is giving is meaning less.
I bought land from person A(there is bbmp khata and panchayat khata in the name of person A), in 2005 person A had bought this land from person B(at that time area was not under BBMP, so person B had only panchayat khata)
Now RI is saying in there BBMP ledger book, both person A and person B have khata entry . And he his also saying person B name is different in record book)
He asked me to get the rectification done and then apply again.
He had asked for 10k bribe , we gave only 1k bribe, now I feel this is just for making money they are doing this.
I dont understand how the person B name is in record book , when he sold property that area was still panchayat
Can you please guide me on next steps to be taken to get the work done.
Hi,
You may kindly take help of a civil lawyer and get this done.

Hello Sreekanth,
We have finalized BDA site, while verifying the document we noticed Property ID has not been updated in E-Khaata. I have few queries regarding this, Could you please advise me.
1. Can Khaata be transferred without Property ID? If there are any challenges, please let me know I can request the seller to have it updated.
2. Is it mandatory to have a property ID updated in E-khaata before the registration?
3. Without a Property ID in E-Khaata will it be a valid document?
4. I’m taking a site purchase loan from Nationalized bank, is it required property ID to be updated?
Thank You.
Dear Darshan,
1 – I think as of now it is not mandatory. Even on one of my BDA property’s Khatha or tax receipt, does not have the Property ID.
2 – Is it BDA property or Panchayat property?? Generaly e-Khatha is issued for panchayat limit properties??
3 & 4 – Suggest you to also take legal opinion from a civil lawyer before finalizing the deal.

Hello Sreekanth,
Thank you very much for your advise.
2- It is BDA property.
How to update the property ID for the BDA site in Khata?
Dear Darshan,
You can visit the concerned BBMP area office and can get this updated (Revenue department).
Hi, I am looking to buy a site. Its a BDA approved private layout and i understand now it comes under BBMP. My seller has BDA khata certificate and not BBMP khata certificate or extract. So do they need to apply in bbmp, will there be any challenges. they are paying taxes to bbmp. secondly, if layout moves from BDA to bbmp , so ppl having BDA khata , does it automatically move to bbmp khata or do they need to apply fresh ? Kindly advise. Thanks.
Dear henry,
I believe that you need to apply for a BBMP khatha.
conversion of BDA khata to BBMP Khata (req docs) :
APPLICATION IN PRESCRIBED FORM.
ATTESTED COPY OF THE TITLE DEED.
TITLE DOCUMENTS (PREVIOUS TITLE DEED) WITH FLOW CHART OF TITLE (IN CASE OF FAMILY PARTITION or BIFURCATION ETC. …
COPIES OF THE PREVIOUS TAX PAID RECEIPTS.
AFFIDAVIT IN CASE OF INHERITANCE or GIFT DEED or WILL DEED or COURT DECREE ETC.,
Thank you Sreekanth.

Dear Kiran,
I am not very sure on this..You may kindly check at the concerned Panchayat office or with a lawyer..
Hi Sreekanth,
Your article is very helpful and informative. I have few queries, could please clarify if possible?
I am planning to resale my flat in Bangalore which has approved OC. I have not taken Khata certificate till now, but i am paying property tax for my flat every year.
1. Buyer is going for a loan and bank is asking for Khata certificate. Do we really need khata certificate in this case?
2.I have approached nearby BBMP office, as per them since we got the OC,All the owners has to come together and apply for OC. They are not giving khata certificate for a single member. It is practically impossible as many owners are out of India and many are not in Bangalore. Is it true that they cannot give Khata for a single owner?
3. How can I resale my flat now? is it possible to resale without Khata transfer?
Please reply me as soon as possible, It can help me a lot.
Dear Karthik,
1 – Yes for getting a loan
2 – They can give Khatha for single flat owner (if all the documents are in place and the construction has been done as per the applicable rules/guidelines)
3 – You may have to find a buyer who does not go for a bank loan.
Thanks for the reply Sreekanth
Hi Sreekanth, your article was very useful. Thanks for that. I have few questions. Could you please kindly answer them?
I am about to finalize a plot located in Bangalore. The plot or the layout as a whole does not have E-Khata but has manual Khata. The land is DC converted on 2017 and the layout has Panchayat Approval for the layout development. The land does not come under BBMP/BDA. So,
1. Can registration be done for such properties?
2. Suppose if I register the plot can I get the E-Khata post registration?
3. Suppose if I have sale deed registered and don’t get E-khata (for various reasons), is it a hindrance for the house construction?
4. Is E-Khata needed for BESCOM connection?
5. I heard E-Khata issuing process is stopped currently as the matter is in supreme court. Is it true?
Dear Raghavendra,
1 – Kindly check t the concerned Sub Registrar office on this. I had read somewhere that e-Khatha is mandatory for Registration.
2 – Suggest you to request the current Seller/Owner to get the e-Khatha done in his name and then you can go ahead with the deal.
3 – Yes.
4 – Yes. Khatha n property tax receipt are required for Bescom connection.
5 – I am not sure on this!

His children, who are American citizens, do not have any Indian IDs to transfer the property to their name, which we siblings want to do.

Hello Srikanth,
Thank you for clear information .
We are planning to but a site A Katha in Chinnappanahalli bangalore.
Have some queries
1.The property belongs to NRI , he sold to one guy(X) , From X we are buying.
Since the property is not registered on the name of X .
What documents we required to go for legal opinion and buy once we hear positive from lawyer.
2.Also is there any legal documents we required from NRI too to avoid legal issues.
Dear Krishh,
If property has been sold to X by NRI, why is it not registered? Did they just enter in to a Sale agreement ?
Hi Sreekanth. I have seen a plot of e khatha 11B. It’s in an approved layout. But it falls under unreleased sites. I am told by advocate it’s not a legal issue. Today or tomorrow it will be released. But at the time, I may have to pay betterment charges. Can I buy this plot?
Hi,
May I know what is meant by ‘unreleased site’??
Hi Sreekanth,
Do you know of any agents, lawyers who would be able to help get a A khata. We have two inherited revenue sites in Bangalore that we are looking to convert to A khata.

Afzal
Dear Afzal,
I have relocated to Andhra and do not have much contacts now..
I am planning to Purchase a Resale property with following details –
– The property was registered in Jan 2006 by current Owner.
– Occupancy Certificate was obtained by Builder for all the Apartments in 2006.
– The flat has B-Khatha and Encumbrance Certificate. The property tax has been duly paid till date.
– Some flats in the same Apartment are already having A-Khatha and some have B-Khatha as BBMP stopped issuing A-Khatha later.
I have the following questions –
1. Should I proceed with registration? SBI is not ready to give loan on B-Khatha. However, HDFC and other private banks are ready to provide loan.
2. How can I get the Khatha converted to A-Khatha after getting the property registration?
3. How much will be the conversion charges if the Sale deed value for me is 94 lakhs and I will be paying around 6.2 Lakhs for Stamp Duty and Registration.
Let me know if you need more information to respond to my queries.
Thanks. Rakesh
Dear Rakesh,
Kindly request for a copy of ‘Building sanction plan’. Check if all the floors are approved or are there unauthorized floors??
Did you check with any other current B-khata owned Flat owner whether they were successful in getting the conversion done??
Hi Sreekanth,
Last I checked, there was one owner who got the conversion done in January 2019 for a flat which is exactly 1 floor above and then he sold his flat in April 2019.
I do not have access to copy of ‘Building sanction plan’. Where can I get it. This is a 15 years old Apartment.
The seller for the current flat (which I want to purchase) applied for A-Khatha just before lockdown in March 2020. However, BBMP cancelled all the applications for some reason.
Could you also check on other queries of my previous post as well.
Regards,
Rakesh
Dear Rakesh,
You can get the copy of building plan from the ‘residents welfare society/association’ of your apartment.
I am not sure of the ‘Conversion charges.
Dear Sir,
I am trying to get my Khata for my flat which i took it in 2015 , I paid some Money to BBMP officer but now they are not responding or helping me. how can i proceed further.

Mohanty
Dear Mohanty,
Suggest you to take help of any real estate agent or civil lawyer..
I guess they may be expecting (more) ‘under the table’ payment..
Getting Khatha is not difficult. Give some money to your area BBMP Tax collector. With in one week you will get it.
Thank you for this article.
I bought a land under gram panchayat and form 9 and 11 is on my name which is with bank as I have taken site loan.
Now, when I am going for another bank loan for construction, I got to know it’s in green belt. Bank is asking for computerised katha certificate extract issued by village panchayat and conversation order for land.
I was under impression form 9 and 11 is computerised and now I am not sure what to do next.
Please help
Dear Rakesh,
Suggest you to kindly consult a Civil lawyer in this regard..
Thank you I am planning to do that. What is your opinion on other than loan issue, what should I do next to get proper document and what document I need
Hi Sreekanth,
Thank you so much for this informative article; I have one query, hope to get some advise from you on this. I puchased an apartment as a second owner. The KHATA is register under BDA i.e. it is a BDA khata.
I tried to get it transferred to BBMP but they rejected it saying that our apartment is not transferred to BBMP and is still under BDA.
I have the BDA khata certificate of old owner with Bank folks but what is the procedure to transfer BDA khata to my name in this case?
Would appreciate a response from you. Thanks.
Dear Faisal,
Is the property under BBMP limits or BMP limits?
What about the other Flat owners of your Apartment?
Hi Sreekanth,
Thank you so much for this informative article; I have one query, hope to get some advise from you on this.
1. We bought an apartment last year as a second owner and took loan from HDFC as well, but the original owner had not taken A Khatha. But most of the other apartment owners had taken it. (we missed checking this while buying)
2. Now when we approached BBMP (through a middleman) for A Khatha, they are suggesting that we should first get the A Khatha made in the name of the first owner and later that would be transferred in our name.
3. So now we have to pay two times; so can you advise, if this is the only way of doing it or are they misguiding us?
Would really appreciate an reply from your end.
Regards,
Vipin
Dear Vipin,
1 – Just wondering, how did your banker (HDFC) approve the loan without the Khatha certificate??
2 & 3 – As you are the current owner, obviously the khatha cant be done (as on date) on ex-owner’s name. I believe that it is possible to get khatha on your name directly.
Only issue is, he was the first owner, so the Khatha should have been done by himself.
My suggestion is to get legal advice as well from a civil lawyer on this, so that there wont be any litigation in the future (in case you decide to sell).
Hi Sreekanth,
I purchased a land in Sarjapur area which comes under village panchayat. I have been given the sellers ekhata document (Form 9). Now I want to submit application for khata transfer.
As Sarjapur area doesn’t come under BBMP limits, can you please advise if it can be done online?

Hi SREEKANTH, I HAVE BROUGHT A FLAT FROM A BUILDER IN WHITEFIELD.THE BUILDER HAD DONE THE KHATA TRANSFER FROM THE NEARBY PANCHAYATH BY TAKING THE FEES AND BRIBE FROM US.BUT THE KHATA TRANSFER HAD AN ISSUE RATHER THAN CHANGING TO MY WIFES NAME IT KEPT THE BUILDER NAME BY MISTAKE. I MISSED TO CHECK IT RIGHT THEN BUT NOW AFTER 3 MONTHS I CHECKED? WHAT SHOULD BE DONE HERE SINCE BUILDER ALREADY MOVED OUT. PLEASE ADVISE THE FURTHER PROCESS HERE.
Hi Srikanth, we have bought a piece of land in a gated community and have given commission to broker for Khatha transfer in 2017. Now when we went to panchayat office for some work, we were surprised to know that Khatha is transferred on our name but mutation is still pending.
Also was told that For mutation it’s just the PDO thumb impression/approval that is pending.
When we approached PDO , he said he will do it (After agreeing on bribe Amount) and asked us to leave.
After multiple follow ups, finally he said he has done that and asked us to come and collect hard copy. Also,has sent us hard copy as proof. But in Eswathu website it says ‘ mutation is still pending’.
Will this take sometime to reflect online or PDO is trying to deviate us?
Please suggest!!
Hi Sreekanth,
We have applied for BBMP Katha Transfer through Sakala .We received SMS- couple of days later received a call from BBMP saying want to visit the property and see the original document. Is this the normal process? Request you to educate on this
Hi Sreekanth, Thank you for yet another informative post. I would like to understand what would be the “Khata Transfer” fees from builder to owner in Mandur Panchayat. Is it 2% or 5% of the Stamp-Duty paid at the time of registration. Also, we do not have the past property tax paid receipts. Is it a must and should we get behind the builder to provide those ? Kindly let me know.
Dear Mr. Reddy,
Your articles on documentation of land is very useful. Thanks for the same. I have the following query in respect of my piece of land purchased during 1990;
I acquired agricultural land of extent 0-03 gunta under Bogadi Grama Panchyat limit through a registered sale deed.
2. RTC Form No.16 has been obtained. Here, my name is appearing. Extent of land under possession is also mentioned. Survey No and extent mentioned are same as that mentioned in sale deed.
3.Mutation copy is obtained. Here too the particulars are verified.
4.During 2014, I obtained Urban Property ownership record.
My query is: With above documents, Could I sell the property?.
From your article, I understood that once Mutation of land is done, it would facilitate payment of tax. Hence, I need not apply for Katha 11B.
Chandramouli
Hope you would answer my query
Hi,
All legal properties will be given Form 9 (‘A’ khata for properties in panchayat limits), while illegal properties will get Form 11b (also called ‘B’ khata).
And this is generally applicable for ‘converted’ (Agri to residential) properties.
If mutation is already done and land Khatha (patta) is in your name then its fine.
You may also check with any civil lawyer / at concerned Gram Panchayat revenue office.
Thank you. I shall enquire at Gram Panchayat office
Hello Srikanth,
I need small info from you. If you have idea please advice. Thanks.
I enquired about a layout which is near Gunduru village, Bidarahalli.
They are saying it’s 9/11 Katha, but it’s in green zone (Agriculture Land).
Now please advice as per your experience whether we purchase or avoid .
Dear Madhukar,
If its green zone, suggest you not to buy the mentioned property!

Hi Sir, I bought a BMRDA approved plot in Anekal with Plot and construction. The registration is done 5 months back,khata tax was paid and applied for khata transfer and I am still waiting for khata transfer.

Your suggestion will help me to deal with this situation. please respond
Dear Madiha,
Did you apply for e-Khatha?
Did you check at the concerned Civic body revenue office (Gram Panchayat/Municipality)??
Hello sir,Yes I have applied for e-khatha and checking in municipality office every 15days once.but the response I got is the PDO is on leave from so many days so the khatha transfer is delaying.
My concern ,Is there any possibility of khatha transfer rejection?
Dear Madiha..Looks like they may be expecting some ‘under the table’ payment!
Oh.ok sir..how to approach them directly? Since you are in the same field from so many years .could you please let me know the approx percentage.how much they may expect under table payment for khatha transfer?
Dear Madiha.. I should not encourage ‘illegal payments’. Suggest you to consult a local trusted real-estate agent or civil lawyer..
Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestion…sir Now I got the idea …whom to approach next….

Hello Sreekanth,
My mother had purchased a B Khata builder floor apartment 10 years back in Malleswaram, now I am trying to sale but no buyers are coming since they can’t avail loan. There are 12 apartments, 3 in each floor. Ground, 1st and 2nd floors are A Khata whereas the 3rd floor is not there in the plan. Is there any possibility of getting a Khata conversion done and legalising the 3rd floor. Please respond as am in immediate need to dispose this apartment.
Dear Jasy,
Is your property in the 3 rd floor? Have you been paying property taxes regularly?
I think many property owners like you are eagerly waiting for Regularisation scheme (Akrama Sakrama) , in fact from many years.. I think that the only route.

Hi Srikanth,
Your web page is having requisite information and is most helpful in all PROPERTY related doubts.
I need your help for the following query of me. I have purchased an apartment which is B khata and I have applied for Khata transfer. I received the B khata certificate wherein the previous owner name was mentioned in regular blue ink and my name was mentioned in RED ink. Could you please let me know, is this the normal procedure pertaining to khata transfer from previous owner. I am in need of your help, kindly let me know is it okay that my name is mentioned in RED ink and my name would have got transferred/updated in government records accordingly.
Awaiting for your kind reply at the earliest.
Dr. Azfar
Dear Azfar,
I believe that this is a normal procedure..you can find the same (in red ink) even on my Khatha extract as well as shared in this article..
Thank you so much!
Your word means a lot…
Hi Sreekanth,
Well written post, thanks for the details. I have a question regarding the property registration and Khata procedure.
Situation-
I am purchasing a resale property from a seller in Bangalore. I know the seller, so it’s a trusted source.
The property is by a reputed builder.
We are not taking a loan, so we don’t need any documents for the bank.
The Khata has been applied and is in process.
The challenge we have is that we do not know how long it will take for the Khata to come from BBMP. And we don’t want to wait till that happens to move in.
Question – If we have all other documents in order, are we allowed to register the property without the Khata in possession? If yes, please explain how. If no, please explain what should we do?
Thank you
Regards,
Vasumathi
Dear Vasumathi,
Who has applied for Khatha? (your prospective Seller??)
How old is the property?
Dear Sreekanth,
Yes, the seller has paid and the Khata has been applied through the builder. The property came into seller’s possession in April 2019, so it’s less than a year old. Thanks.
Dear Vasumathi,
Assuming this is a Flat, kindly check with other (neighbors) Flat owners/buyers if they have received their Khatha certificates??
Personally, I would wait to get Khatha and then proceed with the Registration..

Hi Sreekant,
Thank you for all you guidance for a person like me. I literally followed your suggestions & bought a BDA corner site in JP nagar 8th Phase, 2nd block. Site is registered, got possession certificate, EC certificate. Now I’m struggling to get Khata registration. I applied for Khata registration through BBMP website by applying online application. After waiting for full one month, they verified my documents & rejected saying, my site doesn’t comes under BBMP. Not sure what to do now? How to register my BDA site to get khata?
Could you please suggest me?
Many Thanks
Ekadanta
Dear Ekadanta,
I believe that they may be doing this intentionally, for want of ‘under the table’ money.
I bought a plot through e-auction in HSR and got the Khatha registration at BBMP bommanahlli office.
You may aks them under which civic body does HBR revenue division comes??
I requested my builder to get Occupancy Certificate (OC) for the flat I purchased but he informed me that OC will be given only for BDA / BBMP approved flats not for Panchayat approved projects. Is it true that Panchayat approved society will not get OC?
Dear Raj,
I too believe that OC is not mandatory fora property under panchayat
limits..Kindly check if Construction completion certificate is available?? Also, copy of Building plan approval..

I paid upto date property tax for a revenue site in a layout not approved.
Can I apply for A KHATHA
Dear Sambi Reddy,
I doubt if you can get A khatha for the property if it is in an unapproved layout.
You may kindly check with the concerned Civic body staff or any local/trusted real-estate agent or lawyer.
Hi,
I recently bought one building in Bommanahalli on March 2019. Its a B khata property. Recently BBMP officers came for property tax. Seller paid tax till 2018-19 as land. I’m ready to pay tax as pg building, but they are asking hefty commission from me. I still need to transfer khata from my seller to my name. Can you please provide contact for khata Transfer and property tax.
Thanks in advance.
Dear Krishna,
I currently reside in AP.

Hi Sreekanth,
I have a query..10-12 years back my father inlaw had purchased a property in bommanahalli area, and currently khata is in previous owner name. Now my father inlaw wants to gift that property to his daughter. Question is can we get the khata transfer directly into his daughter name or do we first get khata transferred to my father inlaw’s name and get the gift deed done and apply for khata transfer from father inlaw to his daughter name..pls suggest. Thanks in advance..
Dear Sudheer,
Advisable to get the khatha transferred to your Father in law’s name and then once the Gift deed is done, can get it transferred to your wife’s name.
Thank you very much for your swift response and advise. Very helpful.
Hi Krishna my self kiran Im working in BBMP bommanahalli zone you can contact 9900149094 i can help you with your requirement
Hi Sreekanth,
My property comes under a common Survey number x which includes many houses and there are no divisions done until now which I got to know through the app Dishaank and which was confirmed later when I saw it in the official website of Karnataka land records… Now me and my neighbor friend are thinking for applying for a separate khatha for our houses… We have paid property taxes from many years and we have the receipts… I think I am born in a locality where govt hasn’t given much thought about…
So we have built a 3 floor building as many of our neighbors who have constructed 4, n even 5 which under the common survey no. x… But upon my investigation I found out that These are not registered in the offacial records… Anyway I wish Only that we could get Our Houses register under separate khathas and the survey no. Shows different divisions and reflect the owner’s name in the official website… I am investing time and money in this project now…
Can you pls guide me how Efficiently I can use my time and money so that I do this as an aam aadmi (an ordinary citizen and also learn the procedure directly) and make a khatha of my house…
I’ll be eagerly expecting your Invaluable reply Sreekanth…
Dear Prathap,
Suggest you to kindly first approach the local surveyor at Sub-Registrar office and check about the possibility of getting separate Khathas for the properties under the said Survey number.
Hi Srikanth, I had got the katha transfer done in 2013. During that time change in katha didn’t automatically update the name in property tax records. Therefore, the property tax is still paid under old owners name. I have given the application for name change along with req documents in November 2018; however, it has not been updated yet. You have mentioned that you went through a middleman, can you help me with some middleman in Gottigere area to get it done?
Thanks!
Dear Anil,
Mostly, the Khatha transfer has not been done correctly/completely.
You may kindly visit the nearest BBMP help center or BBMP revenue office and inquire on this.
(I have relocated from Blr to AP hence do not have much contacts now)

If everything is ok at Sub Registrar level and then kindly visit the concerned civic body office (Tumukur municipality/corporation) and inquire on this..

Dear Sir,
When i applied for Khata transfer thru sakala online, my application get rejected due to B Khata.
Is B Khata properties does not eligible to apply for khata transfer thru Sakala online ?
Please let me know the process of applying B khata transfer.
Thanks in advance
Dear Geethanath,
I think its not possible to apply for B-khatha transfer online.

Dear Sir,
I have purchased site in Arashinakunte Tumkur Road in 2015. It is DC conversion approved site. The khatha of previous owner was manual khatha. After regustration i applied for khatha transfer to my name. The application is getting rejected with reason- The previous khatha should be in E-khatha for tranfering. Now sale deed is my name and previous khatha is in manual. How to transfer the Khatha?
Kindly guide me.
Dear Chandrashekar,
Did you apply for e-khatha online or offline?
I dont think that there is a requirement that previous Khatha should be an e-khatha only.
Did you check on this at the Authority/Civic body office in person?
Sir,
I have applied in the Arasinakunte Gram panchayath office through SAKALA, i got acknowledgement also.
Hello Sreekanth,
I have applied Khaata Tranfer through Sakala and the transfer got completed within 30 days and BBMP office uploaded the transferred docs on the sakal portal itself. But, when I approached them to get the original Khaata Certificate and original Khaata Extract, they simply said you can print from online and original will remain in the BBMP file. And, if you apply manually offline, only then you get original documents. Looks very strange. It is an apartment and A-khaata and everything. When I have to sell this down the line, will I not require the original kkaata extract and certificate or do I need to re-apply at that time? I am confused although the tranfer is completed in my name in the BBMP records.
Dear KJ,
Ideally, they should give the documents (original) to you.
As per BBMP Sakala FAQs:
Khatha Certificate & Khatha Extract can be obtained after paying Rs. 25/- & Rs. 100/- respectively for each copy from the concerned office of the Assistant Revenue Officer or at any of the Citizen Service Centers.
Thankyou so much for quick reply and the link! I have got the A-khaata document showing in my name (original) and copies of Khaata extract and certificate. I guess I will require the latter to pay the property tax now. So, I can pay that 25/- and 100/- fee to get those docs, and they will be original, I suppose? I have written to sakala@nic.inn to enquire about the original. The original seller (from whom I repurchased had all khaata, extract, certificate in original) and I believe I should also have them in original for future. Not really clear on the deliverable of the online Sakala transfer.
Dear KJ,
Being a govt driven Organization, let’s not have very high expectations on ‘service delivery’ 🙂
You can get Khatha transfer and Khatha extract documents that are in your name.
my grand father acquired the property in 1966 from then owner who had purchased the site from CITB in auction as its a corner site.
now i was searching in our file for absolute sale deed from CITB and couldn’t find it. am doubting the absolute sale deed was not at all issued that time as it was purchased in auction by the first owner. having said that, there are other documents like allotment letter, possession certificate, amount paid receipt to CITB, sale deed to my grand father form 1st owner. so is it mandate to obtain absolute sale deed now in order to sell the property ?
Dear Chandrakanth,
The prospective buyer(s) may ask for absolute sale deed.
Kindly check with concerned authority or Sub-registrar office on this, and also if it is possible to get certified True copy of sale deed (if any).
May I know what is CITB? City Improvement Trust Board?
yes BDA was earlier known as CITB.
Thanks for the information.
Hello Sir,
khatah was in name of husband and wife, recently wife died and they have 2 children.
now if we have to remove the wife name in khata, will the khata number remains same ? or new khata has to be obtained ? if its new khata then will we get a new khata number ?
Dear Chandrakanth,
I believe that Khatha number remains same as it is linked to Property (though I am not 100% sure on this).
In case, you get the right information, do kindly share it here!
New Khatha may not be required in this case, khatha transfer is enough!
Thanks for the information.
Hi Sree,
In case property is in father and mother name,With khata in their both names. now mother(one of 2 owners) dies leaving behind 2 children and husband. Will children comes into picture? Or only removing mother name from khata is enough. Should children give a release deed as well while selling ?
Dear Chandrakanth,
As the property is already in joint name, the father can get the khatha transfer to his name alone. It should not of an issue I believe!

What documents are required? How much would it cost?
Dear Shreyas,
They can submit the copies of Original Gift Deed and second Gift Deed and can apply for Khatha Transfer into both their names.
Do take latest EC of the property that reflects both the names as the owners of the property.
You need clear the property tax dues (if any) and apply for Khatha transfer.
You may inquire about the cost at local Civic body office (help centre).

Hello sreekanth
We want to buy a resale flat that is 8 years old. But the present owner doesnt have oc ec and commencement certificates. The land is A khatha and flat is B khatha. It is a joint development project. So can we apply for A khatha certificate for our flat by ourselves or only builder can get khatha certificate
Dear Bhuvana,
Without OC/CC, I dont think you will be able to get A Khatha certificate for your flat. Kindly discuss with other Flat owners and inquire at civic body office as a group.
Thank you sir. But some more doubts. Owner doesn’t have oc/ec and commencement certificates. Now she has to apply for khatha or should the builder do. Because they say that u cant apply khatha for individual flat and can builder start a project or apartment without commencement certificate.
Dear bhuvana,
EC (Encumbrance Certificate), you can also get it from Sub-Registrar office.
Yes, Commencement Certi is a very important document. Individual flat owners can get Khatha certificates.
Hello Sreekath,
I have plot in Kogilu which is B-katha with non- DC converted under BBMP limits.
last week in news paper BBMP commissioner mentioned that those are holding B-katha will be delinked from Akrama-skarma and will issue the A-katha certificate by collecting betterment charges.
My question is will it apply for non-DC converted site/layouts also.
Dear Karunakara,
If it is an Agri to Residential converted plot then DC order is an important document.
If its possible, kindly approach as a group (with other plot owners) BBMP and inquire on this..if possible try to get the DC at the earliest..
Hello Sreekanth,
Thank you for the information and suggestion.
I will inform same to the layout committe and will approach as a group .

Hi Sreekanth, I’m planning to apply loan for the plot that I’m going to buy. However, the DC conversion certificate that I possess is not legible. What is the procedure to apply for fresh copy of DC conversion certificate? Thanks in advance.
Dear Purushotham,
If the layout has a Dc conversion done during the layout formation, you can get the copy of the same from the concerned bbmp office / concerned civic body office.
There will not be any separate DC certificate for individual site; in a Layout DC certificate, your site no with the survey number should be reflected.
You may also get a copy from other Plot owners..
Thanks for the quick response Sreekanth. How do I apply for the same? Do I have to produce any documents to while applying? Is there any online portal for this?
Dear Purushotham,
I am not sure if there is an online provision to get a copy of DC.
There is a provision in Sakala portal to apply for DC Order (first time) by land owner/builder/promoter..
Is that needed for house construction in gram panchyat site.
Dear Sheela,

Hi Srikanth, I have bought a flat in Whitefield recently. It’s a 3 year old property but the seller didn’t get it registered on his name. Builder and seller have done the registration for me now. So technically I am the first owner. Apartment has got OC. Apartment land had a Khata on land owner’s name but my flat doesn’t have Khata. So I want to apply for the individual Khata now. can you please suggest which Khata application should I make. Khata registration or Khata transfer???
Dear Rajasekhar,
Best and ideal way should have been – Your seller should have Khatha in his/her name and then you have to apply for Khatha transfer.
If this Flat does not have Khatha then you need to get Khatha Registration done.
Thanks Sreekanth. I enquired in Siddapura BBMP office yesterday and they suggested me to apply for Khata bifurcation through sakala online website.
Dear Rajasekhar,
I doubt if it is Khatha Bifurcation..
Kindly go through this article….
Seller has site 45×50 In which I am buying site of 25×50.But site bifurcation not yet done .I have applied loan which is approved now .My question is do seller has to do bifurcation before the loan disbursement or it has to be done after my registration? Please let me know
Dear Ashpaque,
Request your seller to complete bifurcation and also get Khatha done for two sites separately.
Hi Sreekanth,
This is Ramesh. I have bought a flat from a builder in whitefield in the year 2008. I would like to get the khata transfer done to my name from the builder. I tried to apply it through SAKALA portal. Would you be able to help me in applying for khata transfer (or should we call it Khata registration as I am the first owner of the flat) online as I am unable to complete the process.
Dear Ramesh,
Has Khatha been registered in the name of the Builder (your seller)?
Dear Sreekanth,
Yes. The khata has been registered on the builder’s name.
Dear Ramesh,
So, in your case it is Khatha Transfer and not Registration. Kindly get the Transfer done to your name..
HI Sreekanth,
I purchased an apartment from builder which falls under Maragondanahalli village (Anekal district) coming under Hulimangala gram panchayat.
Sale deed is there with me, and I got original khata certificate with katha number but it is in builder name.
To transfer this, what should i do?
Is E-khata is enough?
How much would be the fee?
Agents telling 0.5% of sale value + 11k as fee.
Cannot use sakala as it comes under gram panchayat.
Dear Mohammed,
Yes, you can get e-Khatha done.
Agents generally take EXTRA payment which may get disbursed to parties involved!
You can make non-cash fee payments for Khatha transfer (DD) and for property tax dues (DD) and Rs 11k (if ok to you) to the Agent.
Hi Sreekanth,
My house comes under Hebbagodi CMC limits, house is already constructed. Recently bank people called me and told plan approval which my builder has submitted is fake. What they mean by fake? Plan approval copy got CMC office stamp and signature on it. What is the impact of fake plan approval. Site is 19.3*30=585 sft.
Dear Santosh,
You loan may not get approved by your banker.
Suggest you to kindly check with your builder on this..
Hi Sreekanth, Loan is fully sanctioned and house construction completed around 6 months back. Could you please let me know if I face any challenges in the future.
Dear Santosh,
Kindly check with your banker if the Sanction Plan is a totally fake one or do they mean that the construction is not as per the plan and there are structural deviations. Also, check with your builder..
Hi, we have property under BDA and the owner is my aunt and she unfortunately passed away in 2015 and she is unmarried and before she passed away she made a will and in the will she has included me and my brother and her two younger sisters and we need to do a katha transfer and we have a doubt on one of the documents required they are asking for a family tree so we have a problem with that coz we are her younger sisters sons and even our mom passed away as well but according to the will all the mentioned four person’s in the will are present so all i need to know is family tree is a must or not
Dear harish,
Succession certificate or legalheir certificate or family tree is generally asked for khatha transfer from a deceased person to legal heirs.
You may also have to submit a copy of Death Certificate(s) and WILL. Suggest you to kindly take help of a civil lawyer and get this done.
Thank you very much sir
My other doubt is to make family tree is it must that we should provide voter Id or can it be done only with aadhar and pan card cause I don’t have voter id
Dear Harish,
I believe that voter ID is not mandatory. Kindly contact your local Tahasildar or civic body’s revenue dept.
Thank you very much sir
Hi, shreekath sir sorry for bothering you again I have I more doubt I checked with know lawyer for make a family tree they requested me and my brother to give aadhar card and pan card, and the doubt is that the family tree will contain my grandma and grandpa my late aunt and her to younger sisters and my late moms names and me and my brothers name,but the problem is that they have requested photo of my late aunts younger sister so will this any problem for me and my brother With this can Katha be transferred on 4 people’s name according to the will
Dear Harish,
Yes, Khatha can be transferred to all the names (legal heirs) that are mentioned in the Will..
Sir,wehave purchased a property in GUNIAGRAHARA VILLAGE,HESARAGHATTA HOBLI in 2010-11 and the sale deed was executed, but, till date we have not got our name reflecting in either RTC or EC.What is the procedure to get the name changed in revenue records?
Dear Sathya,
That’s surprising!
Suggest you to visit the concerned Sub Registrar office with the registered Sale deed document and inquire on this..
Can you get khata transfer done online through sakala.in for projects that come under panchayat? I have an e-katha and need to get it transferred to my name using sale deed. Please help.
Dear Anand,
I dont think it can be done online (though 100% not sure).
Hi Sreekanth Reddy,
I hope you are doing well. I had a joint property which later based on the settlement deed the property is transferred just in my name. I am not sure if I had done the Khata transfer after this. Since my property tax receipts still come in joint names I asked an agent to do the Khata transfer. He has now come back after checking in sub registrar office he says that the transfer was done earlier and I should have a copy of the Suvarna Khata. But I cannot find one. I told him since I cannot find it can he apply for the duplicate one. But he says it is issued only once in lifetime and hence they wont be able to give the duplicate. He says I will have to some how find it, else I will not be able to do any sale/ transfer transactions later. I am not convinced with this as I am sure I am not the only one who could have lost the original and there should be ways to get it sorted out. Can you please let me know how to get the copy of the latest Khata that will confirm the transfer has been done. I was also under the impression that if the transfer is done then the tax paid receipts should reflect that and in my case it does not show that. Does this mean transfer has not taken place.
Thanks in advance
Raju
Dear Raju,
Suggest you to apply for a Khatha Extract for the said property.
It is has just your name then transfer would have happened.
Is this property under Panchayat or BBMP limits?
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for the reply. This is for BBMP limits. Will I need the original Suvarna Khata in future or the Khata extract is sufficient for any future property transactions. Will this also tell as to when and who did the Khata transfer?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Raju
Dear Raju,
Khatha extract would be sufficient. But, there can be prospective buyers who may insist for original Khatha certificate.
I have provided the Khatha extract sample image in this article…
NO DC CONVERSION, BUT BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTED
My brother-in-law wanted to buy a property in Marathahalli, Bangalore.
He found a property which has two buildings constructed in the same land and decided to buy both buildings to make Single building in future. He bought one building and registration done at sub-registrar office.
We knew it is an agricultural land of 3 Acres, and owner divided some land into plots and sold all plots. Many have bought those plots and constructed buildings on their land. The two buildings which we wanted are also constructed on those plots side-by-side.
Actually there is court case on owner properties filed by owner family members(Owner Sisters I heard). Owner is telling that court has given decision in favour of him providing a certificate/some document in the local court. But his sisters filed case again in High court.
Now we have applied property loan for Second building. Bank asked us to provide several documents which owner has to give us. we have asked below some documents from owner..
1) Land conversion DC certificate from agricultural to residential.
2) Original Mother Deed & Gift Deed. 3) Tax payment receipts.
4) EC which he is holding. 5) And some other documents includes Land layout. 6) Some documents bank field officer arranged for us.
Now we got to know that this land is not converted from Agricultural to residential. He doesn’t have that certificate from DC.
Bank process for loan is done and only Lawyer legal opinion is pending. When we asked for Originals, owner is saying he can’t give us the originals since the documents are for 3 acres.
And he said that he will arrange us the latest certified copies from Sub-registrar office and he did.
But bank lawyer is not accepting these certified copies. he needs only originals. But owner told that Court Lawyer has his documents, So we had to wait for some days. We waited 3 months, but didn’t get originals and bank loan is also expired.
We have paid some amount to the owner for second building and thought remaining balance will be given through loan. Now owner told us that he would return total amount for the second building that we given.
We have applied for B-Katha certificate for one building we bought and BBMP person said we have to pay Tax upto current year to get B-Katha. He(siva) demands some money for processing, we had to give it and did. Finally got B-Katha after we payed the balance taxes which owner has to pay. After some days one more BBMP person(Raju) called(Shouting like anything) us to clear the old balance for building we bought. We told Raju that we have paid latest taxes and got B-Katha. But Raju said, Owner didn’t pay taxes for the buildings that he has constructed from starting. Only he is paying taxes for Land only. we have already sent many notices to owner. He didn’t respond. Now you bought the building so you have to pay balance amount.” We expected that owner bribed this Raju and this guy also expecting some amount from us. We understood that owner playing game with us saying that we have paid less tax and insisting us to clear that balance taxes. But anyway we will question him soon about this old balance.
Bank confirmed that this property belongs to same owner as Showing in EC. But no court case is showing in EC. I heard for agricultural land “Paani document” is the correct one to check latest details like any cases.
Now I have some queries on this, Please give your valuable points on this.
1) Since it is not DC converted land, Is there any issue for us after one building registration is done through “Sale Deed”.
2) Is it possible to get BKatha without clearing all due taxes, but in our case how we got BKatha I am not sure. I have confusion in this point.
3) We are ready to pay betterment charges to convert B to A Katha.
4) That Property area has OS number written on all buildings incliding ours and other buildings also. Is there problem with this. how I can check this status online/offline.
5) What happens if owner lost the case in the high court. Since owner 3 acres doesn’t have layout design and approvals, Will all plot/building owners in that 3 acres get any legal issues from court.
6) After we get both buildings, If we want to sell this property in future, what are the possibilities we can sell or cannot sell.
7) By reading above matter if u got any new questions, please let me know, So that I will get clarity.
Dear Harikrishna,
1 – Yes, DC conversion is a MUST. The concerned civic body (BBMP) can take any type of action but mostly you may just end up paying PENALTY (on behalf of your previous owner).
2 – All sort of things happen in the name of B Khatha transfer. It is not very legal. If there are tax dues pending then you have to clear them as your are the current legal owner of the property (as per the Sale Deed).
3 – To get A Khatha I believe that DC order is a very important document to have..
4 – You may contact your civil lawyer and inquire more info on this OS Civil Case.
5 – Yes, this can turn out to be a long legal battle as you along with other buyers may have to fight it out legally against (his Sister/other parties).
Hello Sreekanth,
We are planning to buy a Independant house which located near Begur but it is in B khata . I have few doubts regarding the same;
1) what documents r must to get it converted to A khata at the time of purchase ?
2) does Begur comes under the recent khata conversations which bbmp is planning?
3) what is the approx cost for khata conversation from B khata to A khata ?
Finally would like to know your view whether we should venture into this deal or not ?
Dear Sushma,
If you have a budget, kindly look for A-Khatha properties.
Documents required for conversion of B Khata to A Khata can be :
Property owners interested in converting their B khata property to A khata property must submit the following documents along with the form for conversion:
Title deed
Sale deed
Copies of property tax receipts paid previously
Order of conversion of the land from agricultural to non-agricultural use
Proof of any improvement charges paid
Occupancy certificate
Blueprint showing the property’s location
Blueprint showing the property dimensions and other specifications of the property
Khata extract
Any other document as required for the conversion
For some properties the BBMP staff may advise to wait till (long-awaited) Akrama Sakrama Scheme.
So, suggest you to kindly check with local Civil lawyer and/or BBMP officials if it is possible to get A Khatha for the said property..
Hi. Is it possible for a fkat with b khata to be converted to a khata. The apartment is part of society with a khata. If this is possible how much time and cost would be required for this. Thanks
Dear Deepa,
It is possible if all the documents are available and the apartment has been built as per the applicable rules.
You may kindly consult a local trusted real estate agent or visit revenue office of Panchayat/Corporation/Municipality..
Sir my got missing past 10 yrs ,how to transfer khata to my mother without death certificate of my father.we are in a need badly to sale our property because financial crises…as per gov rules we get death certificate after 1yr.but we dont have time.plz guide us
Dear Manjunath,
If your father has been missing for the past 10 years then you can apply for death certificate.
“You need to have legal paper for getting Death Certificate. It must be Copy of FIR and FR of police station that person concerned is not traceable. For presuming a person dead, as per law, the person must be untraceable for a period of 7 years. And this must be endorsed by police as well as a civil magistrate of concerned area.”
You may kindly take help of a civil lawyer.

A khata is on my name still B khata issued & cancelled now, still Taxes are taken from two sources From A & B how it is possible.
Dear nandakumar,
You need to inquire with BBMP on this.
Dear Sir,
Enquired with BBMP for this, they have issued 462 demolition order but still no action as estimate is not done by them. It is already 3-1/4 years from 3-Jul-2015 when the complaint was registered also OS-1205/2015 is registered with civil court also for speedy process, but it is very slow. My property is struck between Fraud and BBMP. In KAT-821/2015 it is rejected and demolition order was enforced. Next what will happen and how long i need to wait to get back my property from the clutches of Frauds. Can BBMP push the same to demolish the illegal structure and clear the land for my use atleast. Infact this was highlighted to PM Modi also. He has directed BBMP COMM & CM to resolve at the earliest.
I bought a flat in sarjapur and while applying for Katha transfer they are asking to remit betterment charges @0.5% of sale deed value. Is this mandatory? As per my understanding we need to remit only 2% of stamp duty paid
Dear Vinod,
Is this property under BBMP limits?
I believe that BBMP had started collecting betterment charges for some properties. Kindly check with any local civil lawyer/property agent.
Are they going to give receipt for this? Is this payment through Cheque/DD or Cash?
Kindly go through this link…
Yes it is in BBMP Limits
Hello Vinod, I’m also in the same situation. I bought a house in sarjapur. Panchayat office is asking betterment charges @0.5% of sale deed value. Please let me know if you paid? Is it mandatory? please tell me if you got receipt for payment
How do we know the “Stage/Cross/Main Road” and “Stage/Phase/Extn” of the address. It is marked as required field, but it is not mentioned in previous khata receipt
Dear San,
You may contact local civic body help centre (for ex: BBMP in bangalore).
Hello, I purchased an apartment from the builder, for which we have got OC too. Few of other apartment owners have got the khata transferred via middleman. I could not get it done earlier, I want to apply now online. Is it a case of khata transfer, bifurcation, amalgation, or registration?
Dear AJ..I believe that you need to get Khatha transfer done from your Builder’s name to self.

Hi – I applied for Khata transfer online and finally after lot of follow ups etc, have obtained the “Uthara Patra “ What does this mean. It is a hand written document. Does this mean my Khata has been transferred ? . Can you please enlighten on the further steps involved ?
I hope BBMp provides a Dow chart showing the various stages.
Dear Kumara,
Before a Khata is processed, a document named as ‘Uttarapatra’ (acknowledgment of application) is generated. 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.
You may kindly contact BBMP.

I purchased a Flat at Kudlu Gate , BBMP and got the CC/OC in the year Aug 2017. The Flat also occupied by myself. My builder is delaying to do Khata Transfer from Builder name to my name. My question is 1. Can i Pay Tax getting SAS number in my name. 2. To Pay Tax how to get SAS/PID number from BBMP. 3. Is there any online to get SAS/PID number. 4. After Tax payment also can i go Khata Transfer. Please…
Dear Gangadhar,
If the Registration of property in your name has been done, you yourself can visit concerned BBMP office and can get Khatha transferred in your name.
On property tax receipt, you can find SAS/Property ID details.
Without getting Khatha transfer done in your name, you can still pay property tax dues, but the receipts are generated in your builder’s name only.

Dear Raj,

If you are the first owner of the property then you need to get Khatha registration done in your name.
In case, Khatha is already available in previous owner name, and you are have got it in a re-sale then you need to get Khatha transfer done.
I think Panchayats issue e-Khatha. The charges can be around Rs 5k to Rs 15k + any property tax dues.
Hi Raj, I am in the same boat as you were couple years ago. I just realized that I don’t have Khata registered for the site I puchased few years ago. can you share your experience on how you went about getting the khata done and if you engaged any lawyer to accomplish the same? Any help you can provide in this regard is greatly appreciated. Thanks
I bought a property from DS max, they are collecting 30k for khata transfer,I want to know, khata transfer cost will come that much.
Dear RPA,
They might have included UNDER THE TABLE payments + their service charges as well!
Hi. I have bought a resale apartment last month in Bangalore. Its A-Katha property. I want to get the katha transferred to my name. How much it usually cost if go with and without middle man?
Dear Paddhu,
Including EXTRA cost, I guess it can be in the range of Rs 5k to Rs 15k, plus property tax dues (if any) that need to paid.
If you have bought the flat through a real-estate agent, then suggest you to go through them, they can get this done easily!

Hello Sir,
I am planning to buy a resale flat which has not been occupied yet and is registered. The Khata is still on builders name and owner has not transferred it. The owner has agreed to pay the property tax before we go ahead with the sale. Please let me know how the Khata transfer would happen in this case. Is there any risk in this deal?
Appreciate your help.
Manoj.
Dear Manoj,
Has the possession certificate been issued?
Suggest you to ask the current owner to get Khata transfer done on to his name and clear all the property tax dues. Then once the flat is registered in your name, you can easily get the Khatha transfer done again in your name.
Related article : Occupancy Certificate, Possession Certificate & Completion Certificate – Meaning & Importance
Hello Sreekanth,
Possession certificate should be there since the owner has already taken possession and registered the property. Since he is moving out of india he is selling off the property and hence I dont think he would have time to transfer khata on this name. The property already has all the clearance and OC. The owner has committed to pay outstanding property tax before any financial transaction happens.
Is there a issue if I buy the property and can I get the khata transferred on my name directly? Please let me know the process if we go ahead with this.
Appreciate your help.
Manoj
Dear Manoj,
I have earlier suggested the ideal and normal procedure.
If you believe that everything else is good, you can get Khatha transfer done to your name directly.
May I know in whose name currently the Khatha is in?? Is he going to just refund you the property tax dues??
Hello Sreekanth,
Thanks for the quick responses.
The khatha is on the builder name(Prestige). No, he is directly going to pay the property tax and hand over the receipts to me. My loan will be sanctioned only if the property tax paid receipts are provided to bank.
Do we need to follow any special procedure during registration since Khata is not yet transferred?
Thanks,
Manoj
Dear Manoj ..Suggest you to kindly go through my latest article @ Checklist of Important Property Documents in India | Legal Checklist for Property Purchase.
Thanks a lot Sreekanth, the information was helpful.
Hi Manoj,
We are in exactly similar situation. The difference is we are the sellers here. We live outside India. We have registered our property but the khata is still under the name of our builder(Prestige) and we want to sell the property asap. Prestige is saying, to sell the property it is mandatory to have the khata in the sellers name which can take up to 5 months.
Would appreciate if you can let me know if the seller in your case managed to sell the property to you without transferring khata in his name.
Thanks
Dear Neha,
Registration of property and Khata transfer are two independent processess (as of now).
You can sell the land without getting Khatha transfer done to your name to another buyer (if buyer is ok with this).
Also, it wont take 5 months to get khatha transfer done as mentioned by your Builder.
Hi sir,
We are planning to buy one flat, we are the second buyers. The first buyer who purchased the flat in 2016 says that the property tax is not payed by him for the flat as the khata is still in land owners name. He says that individual khata will be done once association is formed and then we have to pay the taxes.. (The building has deviation from the original plan).. It’s a little unclear can you help me.
Dear Shiva,
If I am in your place, will avoid buying this property. If it is a new property, we can understand..but it’s a resale of 2016 property. Advisable to find any other alternative.
You may consult a civil lawyer and get legal opinion as well!
Hello Mr.Sreekanth,
My name is Jacob Varghese.
I have a property in Thindlu.
I have paid property taxes online till 2014.I plan to pay the property taxes for the remaining years this month.Does that mean that I have a B katha.It was a gramathana site earlier.
I have not paid any betterment charges.If I need to convert it to an A Khata should I pay up to date taxes and betterment charges before requesting for an A khata.
Do I need to obtain the following
KHatha certificate
and
Khatha extract.
How long is the process.
Are there reliable service agencies which do this job.(Khatha transfer)
Regards
Jacob Varghese
Dear Jacob,
If Khata is in your name, may I know why do you require to get Khata Transfer done?
Is the property under Panchayat limits?
Hi Sree,
The property was under panchayat limits when I purchased it but now it is under BBMP.
I paid taxes up to 2014 .I paid online through Bangalore One.Since I paid takes the property should be having B khatha?
Regards
Jacob
Dear Jacob,
If the property is under BBMP limits, suggest you to approach your nearest BBMP help centre or BBMP Ward office and check if you can covert this plot into A-Khatha one.
If all the documents are in place, BBMP will process your request.
Yes, you need to clear all the property tax dues.
Dear Mr. Sreekanth,
Please let me know whether registrations are open for Revenue sites
Dear Sree..I am not very sure..as I have relocated to Andhra..

Dear AB.. I am not very sure..mostly this can be Mutation transfer …
I have planned to purchase a property. The Ekhata from the buyer has an issue. The Site Area and Built up Area shows right measurement but the Roof and Floor area shows wrong measurement(shows more than actual). The document has been already corrected twice and it costed more than a year due to slow and frustrating process of the Gram Panchayat. I would not like to wait anymore, I would like to know if the property can be registered without any issues with original size ? Or this would lead to any problmes ?
Dear Rajinder .. Why would you like to buy a property which has known issues?
Actually there are no issues with property… the issue is with gram panchayat and their processing….

thank you !!
Dear Sir,
I have brought a villa approved by Panchayat. The layout plan is approved by Panchayat and there is conversion approval as well from agriculture to layout. However there is no BMRDA OR BDA approval. Kindly suggest which type of khata will be provided to me when i apply for khata transfer. Builder says he has E-KHATA for the property at present.
Dear Rakesh,
If the layout falls under BMRDA limits then I believe that the project should get approval from them too. Kindly cross-check.
Yes, it would be e-Khatha..
Hi sir,

Problem here is, one person acquired my property when we were not in home in the year 2000 – he don’t have any documents – my dad gone for legal and won the case in the Civil Court – by that time my father expired. As you know lawyer played game, and now it is in High Court since 2012. We have not benefited from that property in anyway till now, he is enjoying my property. We are in rented home and struggling.
I am not having Katha certificate. I went and asked in Laggere BBMP office, there the concern person said, till you clear court case, we can’t proceed (when the case in Civil Court and at that time my father was alive).
I heard that Katha can be done if having Registered Document in Subregister office, Paid Betterment Charges and EC certificate. All these three documents I am having and are in my dad’s name.
How to apply, please help me sir.
Thanks in advance and Regards
Ravi Kumar
Dear Ravi,
May I know, who has filed case in High court? and what is their argument/basis??
Thanks for the reply sir,
Opposite party filed case (RFA) in High Court, stating that the judgement is wrong. They are stating that the property belongs to them. (Without any proper legal documents, I don’t know why the court is delaying this case for years).
Multiple times I paid to lawyer and putup application, but unfortunately the case is not reaching to judge. My lawyer stating that, he can only bring case to the case list, reaching the case to the judge is not in my hand.
I am not benefiting from that property in any manner.
Regards
Ravi Kumar
Dear Ravi ..Hope you are with a trusted a lawyer, else you may take service of a different lawyer.
Yes sir,
After all this, I changed lawyer from high court. He looks okay.
HI,
I have purchased a Flat in Purva Venezia about 4 years back. Now I want to take the khata transfer. The ARO is asking to pay betterment charges @Rs. 250 / sq mtrs in addition to Khata transfer fees of 2% of registration amount.
Is the betterment charges payable by me or Purvankara.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Regards
Madhu
Dear Madhusudhan,
Ideally they are payable by a Flat owner. Kindly check if you will get a BBMP receipt for this payment and if they agree for DD payment??
Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply
I too was under the impression that it had to be paid by the builder, but they have asked me to pay up.
Yes I checked and they confirmed that the amount should be paid by way of DD favouring the commissioner, BBMP and it would be receipted.
Look forward to your view on this.
Regards
Madhu
Dear MAdhu ..I mean individual Flat owner. You may go ahead and pay the dues/charges.
Hi Sreekanth
Sorry for my oversight, I read it as Builder.
Yes,Since it is going to be receipted & payment is by way of DD to Commissioner, BBMP, I will go ahead with payment of betterment charges.
Thanks for your time & response.
Best regards
Madhu
Hi Sreekanth,
Appreciate your knowledge sharing and it definitely helps people like me..!! Keep going..!
I would like to get a clarification on my purchase of a 2BHk in 30×40 site.
Land size is 2 Acre 38 gunthas and builder has purchased partial land from land owner (38 gunthas – 42,000 sq ft) and made twenty+ 30×40 sites.He has built houses and i have booked one(getting into agreement next week).
It comes under Panchayat and the land is DC converted in 2015 (have verified also in bhoomi site) but doesnt look like they got any building plan approval from Town planning/BMRDA.
Builder says they will give tax receipt after Sale deed and only manual khata available for whole land now (@ acres 38 Gunthas and not bifurcated for sites).
1.As per builder, after registration they will apply for Electricity on my name and once occupied house after 3-4 months i can apply for e-khata along with other site owners in group.
2.Tax receipt will be given and i can continue paying taxes using that receipt until i get e-khata
Questions:
==========
1.First of all, is it safe to buy manual khata sites (provided title is clear) now (i recently saw govt saying don’t purchase manual ikhata sites)
2.Builder says both Form 9 and Form 11b available..Is this possible to have both for a land.
3.Is it possible to get e-khata (he says i need to spend 15-20k) as he says later (3-4 months after occupying with EB bills??).Will i get it?
4.When can i start paying taxes on my name (will it be after getting e-khata on my name??)..
5.Without building plan approval(s) (its just a 2 BHK) is it safe to buy (anyhow its DC converted)?
Awaiting your expert reply..!!
Thanks in advance.
Dear Moorthy,
1 – Presonally, I wouldn’t be buying such property.
2 – Yes, can have both.
3 – You may get it (this amount may include EXTRA payment). But why is it they do not have construction approval from Panchayat office?
4 – Yes, taxes are accepted after creating khata account only.
5 – Kindly take legal opinion from a local civil lawyer.
Thanks for your advice Sir..!
One final clarification if you could help..I am seeing a lot of controversies even from lawyers in different forums on this point.
“Does a notarized GPA along with affidavit made in 1995 is valid??” – The property has been sold via registered sale deeds to people after that (notarized GPA) and bhoomi website show their names correctly for survey no”.
All i understood is before 2008 GPA registration was optional in India and if it is notarized GPA it is valid.
Let me know your view on this..!
Thanks again for your kind help..!!
Dear Moorthy,
If the portal shows correct title details, should not be of any issue.
Make sure, GPA is duly stamped and registered, if so it can be valid.
I believe that GPA after sep 2011 is not valid..
“Existing properties that have been purchased from a GPA holder (before October 11, 2011) won’t be affected. Even those who hold a GPA today can “regularize” it by converting it into a sale deed, but they can no longer sell it to a third party.”
Thank you very much for your help..!! Appreciate it 🙂
Dear Sir, I am planning to buy an apartment completed about 5 months back from land owner’s share. Its in JP Nagar 8th phase, BBMP A Khata land. Since OC is yet to be issued, when I do the registration, I will be getting a B Khata.
The land owner is suggesting that I do the registration and don’t extract Khata now. Wait till OC is issued and then have extract the Khata document, in which case, I will directly get a A Khata. Otherwise I will have to convert the B Khata to A Khata, if I extract it during registration. Is this the right approach and what are its implications? Thanks for your relentless responses to every question. Regards.
Dear Mansoor ..If possible, try to find with other Flat owners whether they have received OC or not after registering the property.
Hi SreeKanth,
I recently buyed a flat (Second sale) and got by Khata Transferred as well some 2 months before.
My name got mis-printed as “MADUESH S CHILAPUR” instead of “MADVESH S CHILAPUR” and contacted BBMP to correct my name. Everytime i call, they say the records have been updated, but dont have any source to confirm this.
Everytime i visit BBMP property tax website and enter my property PID number, it still shows my old owner name.
Can you please tell me how much time it takes to reflect my name in BBMP property tax website against my property PID..? and also how to confirm if my name is corrected..?
Since its April month, if i pay the property tax, the receipt will be generated by old owners name. But i need it by my name.. Please suggest.
Dear Madvesh,
Suggest you try paying latest property tax (FY 2017-18) in this month, you can find whether your name has been correctly updated or not.
If it is not updated, you may visit them personally and get it corrected.
Hi Sreekanth,
I recently bought a resale flat for which i would like to transfer the khata from previous owner to my name. Could you please advise what are all the docs required for transferring the khata and how much % does it cost.
Dear Bala ..Kindly go through abv article.
The fee can be 2% of stamp duty which is mentioned in your Sale deed.
Hi,
I bought property around 5 years back and got the possession 3 years back in Bangalore. But i missed to get the Khata certificate, also lack of knowledge in the area. Is there any issue in getting Khata now? Will there be any issue with paying property tax with 3 years delay? Can we initiate getting khata by self? Also, can we check online if builder had already done my khata transfer?
Dear Nitesh,
To check, you may have to apply for a Khata Extract for the said property.
Yes, you can pay the property tax dues and get the Khata transfer done to your name (if not done).
Thanks Sreekanth.
How much does it cost to get Khata certificate?
BBMP office is just within a km from my home. Can i directly go to pay tax and get Khata certificate?
Dear Nitesh..Yes, you may directly go and ask for Khata transfer service. You need to submit Khata transfer application, DDs for property tax dues & Transfer fee. You may have to enclose the application with copy of sale deed, latest EC etc.,
Thanks. How much does it cost to get Khata certificate? Is it on the Registration fees or the Sale Value of the property? For ex., Sale value is 28 lakhs & Registration is say 2 lakhs, what would be Khata fee i need to pay?
Dear Nitesh ..The fee is calculated as % of Registration Fee and not on Sale deed value.
sir how to find out the property as a Khata or not. as the builder is saying they have not yet got khata as the property is getting transferred from panchayat to BMRD. is their any online tool to find the details of the property.
Thank you
Linet D’souza
Dear Linet ..I am not aware of any such online facility/provision. However you can try getting a Khata extract for the land from Panchayat office.
Hi,
My Name is Rahul I had Purchased a land in Malur taluk from Anish Porpeties in the month of June*-2016 and had applied for Khatta Paper through them itself yet still I have not received the certificate but they have given me the Khatta Number how do I conform wether it is correct or not.
With Regards,
Rahul.
Dear Rahul,
You can apply for Khata extract at Panchayat office and can cross verify it.
Hi Rahul,
Can i get your number as i also bought property from anish developer in malur taluk.
Hi,
Thanks for the post
i bought a flat which was suppose to be a duplex and was converted to two individual flats(i bought the upper part) which is in anekal taluk .the registration was completed in 2015. the builder told they will give us the ekatha later a then gave the ekatha in 2016 to most of the owners except for the duplex converted owners with the upper portion of the flat.when i checked the owner with the lover portion of the duplex converted flat his katha has my portion in his ekath .then i realized that the katha is not split for both the flats.when i speak to the builder he saying he is speaking to the panchayat and it will take time .it’s like he is stalling.what should i do??
Dear ARJUN,
I doubt if it is possible to get two Khathas for duplex properties. Suggest you to check with Panchayat officials directly & independently, if this is possible .
well sir it is duplex converted by the builder we have different registration document and different electricity and water bill.the builder had show the flat as separate to us .cant we split the katha since the house is split
Dear ARJUN ..That’s why it is advisable to check with Panchayat officials if it is possible to get separate Khata ..
Hi Sreekanth,
I am planning to buy a resale flat which has been purchased by the current seller from the landowner share.But the seller dont have the Khata in his name. The katha number is not divided among the flat owners. they say after bifurication, this can be applied by association and get individual khata. OC is avaiable. Got OC issued 3 weeks back only. CAN I GO AHEAD WITH THIS DEAL? DO I WANT TO TRANSFER THE KHATHA FROM BUILDER TO MY PREVIOUS OWNER AND FROM HIM TO MY NAME? WHAT WILL BE APPROXIMATE COST/EXPENSES INVOLVED?
Please let me know your thoughts.
Dear phil ..Suggest you to ask your prospective seller to get Khatha in his/her name and then you may consider this deal. Also, do take legal opinion before you finalize the deal.
Hi sreekanth
I have been allotted with Suryanagar Phase 3 – LIG site, and I want it to be registered. So when I contacted they got the conditional sale deed duly signed. Now they say I need to get E-Katha and then get the site registered. So I want to know how to get E-Katha and what is the procedure. What would be the cost for it. Whome should I contact. These KHB guys wont give any information properly and they want to complicate things. They want us to contact an agent of them and he charges like hell.
Thank you
Dear srini,
You have to submit, copy of Sale deed/ agreement, Plot location picture, Latest property tax paid receipt etc to concerned Panchayat office and can get this done.
Dear Sreekanth,
Sale deed is not executed yet, for doing registration, he says e-katha has to be done first and then only registration to my name will be done. And the layout is yet to be developed so its difficult to take a plot location picture.
Dear srini,
Is there any 10 year clause? (that you cant sell the property for next 10 years)?
Yes, it is for 5 years clause
Dear srini,
So, you may have to submit your allotment letter copy and other required documents and get e-Katha done.
But I believe that Conditional Sale deed has to be done before getting e-Katha. Kindly take advice from any local real estate agent or civil lawyer.
Hi Srikanth,
I have a plot at Yerthiganahalli, Bangalore. I am not able to get my E khata. There are falls under Anneshwara Gram Panchayat, and whenever I ask my land developer who is GKVK, they always says its because we don’s approval from BIAAPA, because of some express highway is to come and the government is not decided that’s why its pending and all.
Also Gram panchayat says they cannot give me the E khata unless they have BIAAPA approval or so.
Note that My land is already registered 4 years back.
Also what is difference between manual khata and E khata. If I take manual khata, is it easy to convert it to E khata or it is better and safe to get the E khata itself
Please assist.
Dear Gururaj ..I believe that only e-Khatas are being given for the plots under Panchayat limits. Are you sure that manual Khatas are also being issued?
Hi Sreekanth sir,
Myself Dr.Bamane
I had purchased a NA plot in residentially converted land in Uchagao village in Belgaum dist, now I want to transfer the Form 9 and form 11 from previous owner on to my name, but when I approached to Grampanchyat the PDO told that it will charge 5% of sale deed amount, i.e. Rs.43400/- ; is the officer asking right amount. Please sir tell me what it would cost? I have all doc like sale deed and previous property details they are very much clear. Then why should I pay that much big amount simply for transfering the name. Kindly guide me please.
Thank you so much and sorry for disturbing you.
Dear Appasaheb Bamane,
I am not sure about the charges @ Belgaum.
Suggest you to inquire with any trusted Real estate agent on this.
I dont think Khata transfer charges would be that HIGH, probably it includes EXTRA amount.
Thank you so much sir
Sir , I have bought one site in Gulbarga its DC Converted site (NA SITE). The person who sold me had bought it 20 years back. After registration I found that the plan is having directions problem since 20 years no one has observed so far. In plan they have mentioned that 30 ft road is South side direction but the road is in north side direction. Now please guide me how can I get it corrected.
Thank your sir
Dear Shivaputra,
Generally these type of errors can be rectified by execution of a supplementary document called rectification deed.
A rectification deed should be executed after mutual consent of all the parties to the main deed.
So, I am not sure if you are in contact with the ex-owner of the site??
Another option is to contact local Town planing officer or Revenue officer or Tahasildar and get the documents corrected.
Try to check with other neighboring plot owners on this ..

Land without a DC conversion is very risky..
Hello Shrikanth, I am an NRI and I need some help with transferring some of my Bengaluru Properties to my Brother using Gift Deed. My brother lives in Blore. I have a few open sites and one Building with 5 Houses. The building Khata is on my name, but Registration is on my Mothers name who has passed away 2 years back in HUBLI, Karnataka. I had only gifted her my Building in 2010. Before passing away she has gifted it back to me in 2014. That Building is near KUDLU GATE, Hosur Road, Blore.
But the transaction is incomplete, because GIFT DEED was executed in Hubli and the memo hasn’t come from Hubli Sub-Registrar office to Bengaluru office. I need some help of some Lawyer or Broker who has contacts in Bengaluru Sub Registrar offices and one who can understand my situation and help us transfer Properties to my Brother. Any help is appreciated.
Dear HarshaG,
If I am in Blr, would have surely assisted you in getting this done.
But, recently relocated to Andhra and not offering real-estate consultancy services actively now.
Hi Srikanth,
I have a built house (row house) from a small builder. we have 15 houses in our layout. It falls under Gram panchayat.
I had purchased the house at July 2013, at that time the release certificate from builder was not mandatory as it was a house with plot not a apartment.
After that the Registrar made it a mandatory document and most of the panchayats issued it by collecting huge bribe from builder ranging from 15000 to 25000 as per the plot size. In our layout some have that document (who purchased house after 2013 Aug) and some doesn’t have.
Recently I wanted to sell the house, and applied for the khata (e khata) as I had Form 12 with me. The PDO is demanding bribe (Rs 25000 to Rs 35000) as I don’t have the release certificate from the builder.
I have all the documents regarding the house and everything is legal (Town planning authority layout plan approval, individual house approval and house plan, Tax paid receipts from 2013 till now).
What should I do now? as I am not able to pay so much bribe (and why should I pay bribe when my house is legal?)
All I don’t have is release certificate from builder.
How to get it done in panchayat now?
Dear santhosh,
Are you referring to Construction Completion certificate?
You may request your builder to help you in this matter. I believe they (builders) must be knowing to get this done quickly and efficiently 🙂
Dear Sreekanth,
Hope you are doing well,
I am also Sreekanth, Last year March I have purchased panchayat katha site, and I have sale deed, and I have all the previous tax paid receipts from my previous owner,
I would like to know how can I transfer the katha to my name from the Ex land owner, and what is the process and how much time will it take, please guide me
Regards
Sreekanth
Dear Sreekanth,
I am doing good, thank you!
As it is a Panchayat limit property, you can apply for e-Khatha. Kindly visit the concerned Panchayat office and get it done.
You have to submit photo of plot, latest EC, copy of sale deed, tax paid receipt and applicable charges for e-Khatha.

Hi,
We brought newly built apartment in BSK 3rd stage, We purchased it during preconstruction. Builder voilated the sanctioned plan an built 1 floor extra. We are unable to get OC or CC. Now BBMP official saying we have register with B katha but all the apartment owners has to come to gether and apply once. But land owner who got 8 apartments out of 20 is not ready to apply for B katha. Is there any rule that all the owners must apply at the same time ? BBMP guy says he will not be able to move the file until all the owners apply for B katha. We are unable to pay tax also.
Dear maheshgs,
There is no such rule/clause. Kindly take legal opinion/advice.

Hello Sreekanth,
I need advice with regards a property in the name of my Dad who passed away recently. Could you please help me with the formalities to transfer the same to my name. I am the only child and have the family tree issued by BBMP.
Dear Gurudutt,
You may apply for Khata Transfer to your name.
Did your father write any WILL? Is this property ancestral one or self-acquired by your father?
Hi, There is no will left by my father. The property is of my grand father which was passed onto my father through a will.
Do let me know if the khata transfer has to be applied at BBMP office or is there any other location that it can be applied for faster action.
Dear Gurudutt,
In this case, you can just transfer the Khata to your name. You can visit the concerned area BBMP ward office to get it done.
Hi Srikanth, this is Harsha here, my query is related to a joint property held by me n my brother , which presently has been divided by partit ion deed, now I want to transfer a part of my share of the property to my wife. My query is
1. Should I complete the registration of the gift deed to my wife before applying for khatha bifurcation and transfer to our respective names or should I first get the khatha bifurcation done and then proceed with the gift deed process.
Kindly advise
Regards
Dear Harsha,
Better to do it in your name and then on to your Wife’s name (after Gift deed is done with), to avoid any complications in future.

I want to do the khata for my Purva Highlands appartment. I do not stay in Bangalore. Is there a way I can accomplish this remotely or do I have to use an agent
Dear Pradeep,
Earlier BBMP used to process online applications, but I dont think there is any such online provision now.
You may have to take help of an agent or get it done through your representative (can be your family member).
Hi Sir,
We have bought an apartment and the registration is done. The sale deed is on my father, my mother and myself. Now I want to transfer the katha as well. In whose name can the Katha transferred to ? Can we transfer the Katha with all our names on it ? Or it should be a single person ?
Dear Aryan,
Yes, you can get it transferred to all of your names.
Hi Sir,
I bought an apartment from another person in 2007. The khata continues to be in his name so i need to apply for khata transfer. Property taxes are paid up to date. My question is: I do not have that owner’s contact and do not have his whereabouts. Can i still go ahead with the transfer? I have his khata document, sale deed and tax paid receipts till date but dont know where that person is. What is an alternative if that person is not available? Kindly clarify. Thanks in advance.
Dear Preeti,
Kindly note that you can go ahead with the transfer. You may have to submit EC if required.
Hi Sreekanth,
I am living in a apartment. My neighbour’s husband passed away recently. The property was in his name. Now my neighbour has to apply for A Khatha through sakrama scheme. Should we require GPA from her son for applying for khatha or property should be transferred in legal heirs(wife and son jointly) and then apply for khatha. Kindly advise as we have to shortly apply for khatha for our apartment.
Dear Raghu,
Name transfer to Legal heir in Sale Deed is not mandatory to get Khata transfer done.
However, son has to submit legal heir certificate & death certificate along with other documents for Khata transfer.
Thank you Sreekanth for the immediate reply and the info. Her son is in abroad. Should we have GPA(Power of attorney) done by him or legal heir certificate as you mentioned and send it to us. We are applying for khatha for the first time. Note: Khatha A is available for the land. But for the building due to some deviation, we could not get it. But now, with Akrama-sakrama in place, we are planning to submit the appln for khatha.
House is in deceased person. Now khatha has to be applied newly in wife’s name. Sorry, If I am confusing you. Kindly advise. Thank you in advance.
Dear Raghu,
My suggestion stands to be the same. Have to submit legal heir certificate, that should be enough I believe.
Thanks Sreekanth for your guidance. Will get back if any thing required.
Dear Sir,

Hi Sreekanth,
I had purchased a plot in a DC converted layout(and built a house on it). When we brought it, the area was under Gram Panchayat and subsequently it came under the purview of BBMP.
I have Form 9 and 10 issued in 2002-03 for the whole extend of layout(2.7 acres) in the previous owner’s name.
I have Form 1 and Form 12 issued in 2004-05 for my plot(3725 Sft) in my name.
I have been paying taxes regularly to BBMP(online since 2008). The property has been allotted a new BMP PID number. I have an online tax receipt(Year 2014-15) which mentions both the Khata Number and New PID number for the property.
I want to get a Khata since my prospective buyer’s bank is asking for it.
I went to my local BBMP ARO office and was showed a register which has the previous owners name in it and a tax prescription of INR1400/-. This entry tallies with the Form 10 and the tax paid receipt I have in the previous owners name for year 2002-03.
However he is not being open about the register based on which I was issued the Form 1 and Form 12 and based on which I paid my tax in 2004-2005.
Since I know that the details of the property are clearly available in a computerized format with BBMP based on which I got the online tax receipt(for year 2014-15 which has both the Khata Number and New PID number) I am assuming I should be able to get a electronic khata(e-khata) for the property. Can I go to any BBMP/ARO office for this, or do I need to go a to a computerized BBMP/ARO office for this. Please guide/help me.
Thanks in advance : )
With Regards,
Shaanth
Thanks for sharing your information and insights with all of us on this website, I am sure you will have all our blessings for that : )
Dear Shaanth,
If the online tax receipt is showing your name, that means Khata is already available in your name. As the property falls under BBMP limits now, you can approach any BBMP help centre and get more information. Else, you can visit the concerned BBMP ward office and apply for Khata extract to know the khata details.
Thanks Sreekanth, Will do, and keep you posted : )
Hi Sreekanth, Please let me know if you know someone who can help me with this. Thanks, Shaanth.
Dear Shaanth ..I have recently relocated to Andhra, so as of now not providing the real estate services. Kindly visit BBMP office, you can easily get this done.
Thanks for the response Sreekanth, Good Luck!
Hello sir,
We bought a plot in 2006 in shiv sai layout in marsur Bangalore but was registered under our relative’s name.can u kindly let us know the procedures to get it register under our name since we are not residing in India and also is it possible to get it done without having travel to India.
Mamatha.
Dear Mamatha,
Yes, it is possible. You have to give Power of Attorney to your representative here in India, to get the registration done on behalf of you.

Good day to you Sir,
I bought a land 4 months back in Bantwal taluk Mangalore. It is already registered on my name, but khata transfer is not done, PDO says system is blocked since February 2016. Kindly direct me if there is any other option to start my house construction.
Thank you.

My question is that, My mother KHB had allocated a 30X40 Site in surya nagar phase 2, Now i have get Khatha i have visited KHB office number of times but still no luck they say come next very time this is the probelm. We have paid full cash and got registered in my mother name, can you please suggest setps to get Khatha please.
Pradeep
Dear Pradeep,
I believe that you need to visit Panchayat office (mostly Anekal) to get Khatha.
Probably, they are looking for under-the-table payment to give right information to you.
Hi,
I Have a site in Bangalore, I’m willing to apply for khata. But i have a question, is it possible to apply for khata when the case is in court regarding the site. I have won the case in civil court, but the case is now in Highcourt raised by some third party with duplicate duplicate papers.
Regards,
Praveen
Dear Praveen,
Tricky one. If EC shows you as the owner and if you have a valid Sale deed in your name, I believe you can apply for Khata transfer.
Actually it’s a Revenue Site. The Layout plan is not as what i purchased 20 years back. My site dimensions has been changed to 30×40 from 40×30. Is it possible to apply for khata?
Dear Praveen ..Kindly contact the concerned panchayat office or corporation office and get more details.
Greetings.
I have bought a land of 30 X 40 Feet size in Ravuthanahalli village in Bangalore North Tehsil of Bangalore district for house construction purpose.
Now I am planning to start the house construction as my family is in need of a home now. I discussed with several construction contractors for quotes and queries. They told me that after the land registration, land Khata needs to be done at respective Gram Panchayat then only the land construction could be started and also the Khata is required to get the Electricity and Water connections from the respective Boards.
Subsequently I talked with the person who sold me the land, for getting the Khata. But he told me that currently the Khatas are not being done and once the process starts he would help me.
I hereby humbly request you to advise me if there are any alternate procedures for starting my house construction and getting the Electricity and Water connections without any legal issues.
Thanks and regards
Manjunath Sarode
Dear Manjunath,
I believe that if the Land has DC conversion order and within in Panchayat limits, e-Khatha can be applied for. Suggest you to kindly visit the concerned Panchayat office and enquire about e-Khata for your property.
Thank You Sreekanth. Will visit the Panchayat office.
Hi,

Dear sir
Khata transfer fee is 1% of land value (not stamp duty) which is fixed by the KALLABALU Panchayat, jigani hobali, Anekal taluk. The fee amount is very high and this 1% of land value is legally valid.
Dear Jagadish,
I believe that 1% is on the stamp duty that has been paid during the registration time.
I may be wrong, so kindly provide valid source link (if any) for your view-point. Thanks!
The KALLABALU panchayat, Jigani hobali, Anekal taluk took decisions on 25/08/2016 as Khata transfer fee is 1% of Government market land value not stamp duty.
Pl share the valid source link

Dear Rajdeep,
Got the below details on net;

1.Property no:
2.Owner’s name and tax fixation for the assessment year &
3.The details of the tax (i.e., sanitary, education, health, library, property tax, electricity tax and water tax).
4.Instead of Form 9 & Form 10, Form 1 & Form No: 12 are now issued which contain similar details in respect of properties situated in the Village Panchayath area.
Kindly take legal opinion.

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.
Can I pay tax and get receipt in my name? If yes on what basis? Pl let me know Regards Devaraj

Dear lokesh ..Suggest you to ask for e-Khata from the owner and then consider buying the plot.
Hi, sir I had purchased one flat in bangalore, apart from 4 dd payment for registration, builders were demanding 25 k cash seperate for e khata, I said if v all go with a group, than it should b less right, kindly suggest.

Hi sreekanth
Very helpful article
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,
1) Is it possible to transfer khata in my name afterwards?
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,
My query is I’m going to apply for Katha trough middlemen, so is there any chances to that middlemen get our (write in his name) property in his name (fraudulent) through Katha, because I’m new for this so I don’t have any idea

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.
Kindly read:

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
Hi Sir,
Bought apartment near kanakapura road in December 2015. Till now i have not paid property tax and also khata trasfer is not done. Suggest me which should be done first Property tax payment or Khata transfer???

Sanjeev
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?
Hi Sreekanth,
Can you please let me know, how can I get a bifurcated khata, Entire plot has A khata which is divided into 4 plots now and 4 different ppl have got this now. Please let me know how to get this done.
thanks in advance
Vinil N
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.
Can you please help me with the address for BBMP office in Marathahalli? I am not getting it anywhere.
Dear Atanu,
Check out this address : Bruhath Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike Marathalli Ward Office Second Floor Above State Bank of India Varthur Road, Marathalli Bangalore – 560037.
Hi Sreekanth,
We recently bought 1200 sq feet plot near Kanakapura Road, its A-Khatha. The Khatha is still in old owner’s name. The property registration was made in Konankunte Sub Registrar office. Since we stay in Yeshwanthpur, can we approach nearest BBMP office for khatha transfer or we need to goto same office where registration happened ?
Thanks.
Dear Sadanand,
Kindly note that Khata related work has nothing to do with the registration office.
You have to visit the respective BBMP ward office and get this done.

What is mutation of property? Why it is important to transfer the title of property?
Dear Sreekanth Reddy,
I just want to know one thing… suppose my building is not eligible for A Khata and my builder is telling to transfer the Khata to your name..But my question is if its not legal and not regularized by the Government, why should i transfer the Khata because there is No B Khata.. Am i correct?? or shall i Transfer the Khata on my name. Because BBMP guys says we will never get any OC for your Building. If this is the case i can pay only tax why should i transfer the Khata.
Please suggest.
Dear Pradeep,
Yes there is no B-Khata as such, but there is something called B-Register (many of us refer it as b-khata).
The civic body (BBMP) accepts the tax payments and updates the B-register. So, you builder might want you to get the Khata transferred to your name and henceforth you can make property tax payments.
Hello Srikanth,
I have bought property at Sarjapur Road, Bangalore in 2012. I transferred Khata to my name 2 months back only. When I am trying to pay the property tax online for 2016-17 it is still showing the Old Property Owner name (I am using PID no. of 2008-09).
Can you please guide me how to change the details in my name ?
Thanks,
-Vineet
Dear Vineet,
Do you have the 2008 application number? (SAS BASE Application No.)
Chances are that the Khata transfer might not have been done correctly. You may apply for Khata Extract and check if the transfer has been done to your name or not.
My son bought a property in bangalore. Khatha has been transferred in his name. Can I find online whether his name is there in the khatha?
Dear Subramaniam..I dont think there is any such online provision to check the Khata details (as of now). However you can apply for Khata Extract offline and verify your details.
Dear Sreekanth,
I have purchased a flat in KR puram. My builder has not yet issued the OC. He says it is still in progress. I am paying property tax to BBMP since 3 years and my tax receipt has my name also. Does it mean that khata bifurcation is already done? If someone is interested to buy my house, will I be able to register the sale deed with this status? Or should I apply for something in BBMP before registration?
Dear Swetha,
Kindly note that Registration is different & Khata related things are different. Later one is handled by Revenue dept & local civic bodies.
Looks like Khata transfer has been done. But suggest you & other flat owners follow up for OC with your builder.
Read: Importance of Occupation Certificate..
Thanks Sreekanth for your response.
Hi Sreekanth,
I have purchased a house in 2013 in begur road, hongsandra. The land on which, house is built has a CMC khata and it comes under the jurisdiction of BBMP. Is it possible to get the A Khata for the house? Some info: PID is allocated, BBMP proeprty tax is up to date but still old owner’s is coming in the tax receipt.
Thanks
Dear Tarun..Did you apply for Khata transfer to your name?
Hi Sreekanth,
For this house, there was no any khata in old owner’s name. He was having only CMC Khata for the whole area that he got from previous owner and was not having any khata for the vacant site at that time in 2012. I went to BBMP office to get the khata, they told we cant give the khata as Khata bifurcation is not done. The survey number for the whole area is 73/2.
Dear Tarun..Then you may first have to apply for Khata bifurcation. Kindly take help of a good agent and/or lawyer. Suggest you to speak to your ex-owner too.
Thanks Sreekanth. So you mean to say I have to do the Khata bifurcation for the whole area which is having the CMC khata? Please confirm.
Dear Tarun..Has the plot been divided into sub-plots? If there are multiple owners now, suggest you to speak with them too and get khata bifurcation done.
Yes Sreekanth. Whole plot is divide into sub-plots and people have built homes also.
Thanks
Dear Shrikanth
I purchased a flat in Platinum City in 2012. This property got “A” Khata. I shifted out from Bangalore and did not transfer the khata in my name. I have paid all property tax till now in old owner’s name. Now i was to sell this property. Can this khata can be transferred directly in purchasers name or i have to first get it transferred in my name and then he will have to do it in his name. Your help is required in this case.
Dear Rajesh,
It is better you get it transferred to your name and then sell it, the papers can be clear for the buyer to go ahead with the purchase.
I’m planning to a buy a Flat in Akshya Nagar, Off BG Road. Builder and my Advocate vouched the A Khata property but I want to know how I get confirmed in Sale Agreement. Will you please help for my query.
Dear Avinash..You can apply for a Khata extract and check the details.
Hello Sreekanth
Your efforts in answering all the queries is truly appreciated.
The house that i stay is in my mother’s name. Accordingly the khata( A type) is also in her name. Now I’ve got the Gift Deed done in my name. Before applying for the loan, i’ll need the khata transfer to be done. I understood the procedure from the earlier posts.
My queries are-
1) Since it is a gift deed from mother to son, do i still have to pay the 2% of the registered value?
2) I’ve approached a middle man, what would be the charges for the transfer(the property falls under Shettihalli ward)
Dear Jitender,
1 – I believe that you have to pay 2% as fees but I am not very sure on this.
Hi,
I bought a flat in NRI Layout, near to RamMurthi nagar 3 years back. The builder said we will be getting A Khata and also have shown the A Khata certificate for the land. Now the construction is over and we are staying. But the khatha transfer and the property tax payment is still not done.
There are 96 apartments. Will all these gets A khatha since the land is A khatha. How can we confirm what Khatha we are going to get. The builder is playing smart and now asking us to wait for Akrama Sakrama to implement.
The property tax, can we pay that before khatha transfer pls.
Rgds,
Paji
Dear Paji,
You can apply for the Khata Extract from your nearest BBMP office and find out if the land is A-khata one or not.
Mostly, the builder is trying to shift the burden of paying penalties (if any, for structural deviations etc) on to the end buyers (flat owners).
Did you get Occupation & Possession certificates?
Sreekanth ,
Even i have same question which was mentioned by Paji,
we don’t got OC and Possession Certificate.. can i know how much penalties approx will be ? as for estimation.
What is the process to force builder to convert Katha ? Please help us
Dear Suresh,
It is tough to me to suggest anything on penalties without actually looking into the details. You may take help of a local govt approved valuer/architect..
Hello,
I have purchased a Flat in JP nagar 7th Phase in 2005-06 and paying tax for the property .This building has 34 flats those people who transferred the khata during 2005-07 got the “A” khata but after that everyone got “B Khata .Now I am trying to get khata transferred to my name .
Could you please suggest ,If there is a way to get A khata for my flat
Dear Raj..Most probably you should also get it. Visit the nearest BBMP revenue office and can get this done (I think it is in Gottigere).
Hi,Sreekanth Reddy
Iam planning to purchase a house but the last GPA holder owner has been paid the betterment charges and taken the rcipte and it is not requalarized for A khata and made sale deed and in khata legder it has been not change now the present owner wants to sale the property and the BBMP officials are telling that the kahata is not A khata and not transfered to A from B any help in this please let me no..
Dear ASif,
You may have to wait for Akarama Sakrama scheme to regularize and get B ledger transferred to A-Khatha. If all the documents are in place, you can consider buying it but do consult a civil lawyer and get expert advice.
Dear Sir, pl advise me whether a BDA auction site can be split into two without obtaining BDA approval. An auction site of 1350 sq ft., has been sold by the auctionee to two buyers @ 760 sq ft., and 590 sq ft. Out of these two split sites, I am thinking of buyung 760 sq ft. On verifying the auction conditions i find that the plot shall not be split into two or more without obtaining previous approval from BDA. On questioning this, the prospective seller of 760 sq ft., says that since the property has come under BBMP limit and having obtained khata also, the split condition is not required at all. Is he right Sir? Or the original seller should have obtained NOC from BDA before selling the plot in two portions? Please advise.
Dear Vijay,
The site can be bifurcated but I believe that the minimum plot size after the bifurcation should be 600 sq ft.
You can also apply for Khata bifurcation after the split. However, kindly take a legal opinion on this and take final decision.
Hi Sreekanth,
We had purchased a site in marathahally measuring 700 sq ft and it is B-Khatha. Now we are planning to build the house. Can you please suggest for my below queries.
1) Can i get A-Khata for my property? How should i proceed further? Titles are clear.
2) If Yes, would you suggest me to apply for A-Khata before the construction of the house or after the construction.
Thanks,
Praveen
Dear Praveen,
1 – If documents are clear, you can try getting A-Khata. Kindly visit your nearest BBMP ward revenue office and get more details.
2 – Suggest you to get A-Khata before the construction.
We have bought in Bilishivale in 2008 of Grama Thana Site. Now we have online tax payment process set up and friend told it is B katha. Can we convert to A katha, when how much (approx). Currently some akrama Sakrama is over looks. Is if for Buildings only? Please clarify.
Dear Ramesh..I doubt you get A-Khata now. However you may check about this at respective Revenue office.
Akrama Sakrama scheme is applicable for layouts and buildings as well.
Hi ,
I purchased 1 site near Bagur, chikkathirupathi. I am not getting the e-katha because of PDO problem. I am not able to get registration on my site since from 1 year. So can you please suggest me where can i get the e-katha rather than panchayat.
Dear Chandra..What is PDO problem? I believe that one can get e-Katha only in respective panchayat revenue office only.
we ready to purchase d c converted in 2008 30×40 site but owner khatha change is your resk party told but i purchasing the site what time khatha changed to in my name please guid me
Dear raveesh..You can try to get e-Katha after buying the property. Is it under panchayat limits? If yes, try to find out if that respective panchayat is issuing e-Kathas for the properties located near to the property that you are planning to buy.
please give the phone number my phone number is 9448944824
Dear Shreekanth,
I have purchased a vacant land in 2014 measuring 30*40 in Yalahanka Holbli and submitted for khata transfer. Same is done and received the khata certificate on my name. But when I am trying to make the property tax for this year online, the application still showing the old owner name. Please could you let me know how I can proceed? Should I make the property tax payment with old owner name only?
Thanks & Regards,
Maqsood
Dear Maqsood..Mostly the khata certificate is not a genuine one and not yet registered in the Revenue office. Suggest you to apply for Khata Extract and find out if the transfer has been really done or not.
Hi Sreekanth,
I purchased 2 sites of 30×40 in 2009 and got B’ khata for 60×40 jointly. It is Non DC converted Revenue land. Location: Nagarabhavi, Jurisdiction: BBMP-Rajarajeswari nagar
Is there any ways to convert them to A khata
Dear Sreekanth , I purchased a site at Nada Gowda Gollahalli village, Hannur limit . The vender have form 11 ( Khata ) for D C Conversion still it’s not happening but they applied . The panchayat official said , there is no government order for issuing Khatau . Kindly suggest how will I get Khata in my name .
Dear Mahil..Kindly check out if you can get e-Katha from the panchayat office.
We bought a corner site of about 1850 sft in 2010 from one of our friend. Registered 1200 sft (30 x 40) in my husband name and rest 650 in my name. Middle Man did all formalities. We paid tax till last year which was in previous owner’s name. This year I went to change the name in tax paid receipt. In the concerned tax office they went thru the documents and told it is a forgery Khata certificate and it is not yet transferred and there is no entry in their ledger. It is still in previous owner name.
Just to do this formality they made me visit them 3 times with some or the other details. I have all documents including betterment charge paid receipt, old Khata certificate in previous owner name etc. Then told to get a form filled for Khata bifurcation and transfer. They were so reluctant to tell what is to be filled in the form and what documents to attest. Finally gave application with 20/- each and I myself filled, tagged and submitted application. They have given me back acknowledgement form and told to come after 15 days to know the position. I don’t think they will move till they get something. Should I bribe them to complete my job? If yes, how much? And what are the formalities after this step?
Dear Gouravi,
I believe that though the registration of two sites have been done, the bifurcation was not updated in Khata ledger. Most probably your agent has not done his work properly.
Hence you have to apply for khata bifurcation & then Khata transfer now.
I agree with you that most of the staff in BBMP expect ‘under the table’ payments. Personally I dont encourage you to bribe but you are well aware that your file will not move if you don’t pay EXTRA MONEY. Kindly check with them as to what they are expecting??
Hello,
I have a apartment flat built up on A khata property, but It is not on DC converted land. Land got A khatha by paying betterment charge to CMC . Now builders are saying I will get B khata for the Flat after registration and later on it can be converted to A khata by Akrama Sakrama. Is it possible to convert B Khata Flat to A khata where land is not DC converted, but got A khata by betterment payment?
Dear Santhosh,
I somehow feel something fishy here..DC conversion is very important. Kindly consult a lawyer and get a legal opinion on this.
Hi Srikanth Reddy,
I am planning to buy a site near Nelmangala , revenue land converted to layout which has no approval. What are the problems i will face in future and can I get katha for that land. Can I get approval for construction of house in that plot. Pl.suggest me.
Dear Murali,
Is it under the Panchayat limits? What do you mean by ‘no approvals’?
If all the documents are in place, you can apply for e-Katha.
sir,
iwant to know wheather it is mandatory to submit original khatha
of previous owner to BDA while tranfering the khatha innew owner name
Dear Suresh..No, its not mandatory. If required, you can submit a photocopy of it.
Hi Sreekanth,
I have purchased flat in DS-MAX Stone hill in Anjanapura.
Need to know how to get Khata transferred to my name and where to approach.
Dear Ravi..Kindly visit your ward BBMP revenue office (CMC) and get this done. I think that the office is in Gottigere.
Dear RKS,
Please suggest how to pay property tax for the first time, this property is from Gand father’s, i have partions deed ( for how many perivous tax should be paid) i have BDA khata number.
Dear Ramesh..Suggest you to visit the nearest BBMP help centre. If Khata transfer is done on your name, you can pay it online, else get it transferred in your name and pay the the taxes through DD. From next year onwards, you can pay it online (through bbmp website).
1.I am having a shop allotted to me by Karnataka Housing Board in National Games Village Housing Complex, Koramangala, Bangalore. To get a khata in my name, which office of BBMP, I have to approach. Without bribe how to get a khata, Please inform.
2. I purchased a flat in Kengeri by taking a loan in a nationalised Bank and got it registered recently. When I approached the BDA office, Vijayanagar, Bangalore, they demanded a bribe of Rs.6000/-. Without bribe how can I get a khata, please inform
Murali
Dear Murali,
I think this is the BBMP help centre address;
22, Koramangala 8th Block, Koramangala, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560095
2 – You have to approach the respective BBMP ward office and can get khata transfer done after multiple visits.
sir,
I WOULD LIKE TO BUY 30X40 SITE IN ANEKAL FROM RAILWAY EMPLOYEES & EXECUTIVE HOUSING CO OPERATIVE SOCIETY AROUND RS 10 LAKHS. WHAT IS THE POSSIBILITY OF APPRECIATION AFTER 5 YEARS
V.L.NARASIMHAN BCOM,FCA
Dear NARASIMHAN..The price appreciation in this area for the last 3 to 5 years is almost stable Or appreciating at the rate of bank FD. So, we may expect the same going forward. Is this for self-occupation or for investment purposes?
Dear Sreekanth,
My father had purchased a land property in 1990 through a GPA , in 2005 we got Khata registered and we were given a Holder Khata. Later in 2012 we got the property registered from the land owner.
My question is how can we convert a Holder Khata to Owner Khata.
Also, the survey number is not entered in the sale register deed, however PID humber has been mentioned . Is it neccessary to have Survey number updated and how will we do so ? The property is well within BBMP limits.
Please help with the above queries, thanks in advance.
Dear Abdulla,
I believe that Survey Number is important. But I am not aware of ‘holder khata’ concept. Suggest you to take help of a lawyer or any good real estate agent to get this done.
Dear Sreekanth,
Thanks for writing this blog, helpful and informative.
1. How do we approach BBMP to regularize the building if the builder has deviated the original plan.
2. Is there any way Building association can approach BBMP directly or we have to route this through builder only.
3. If possible, can you guide us what is the process of doing this.
Thanks.
Sachin Gupta
Dear Sachin,
1 – I believe that you may have to wait for ‘akrama/sakrama’ scheme.
2 – Both ways possible.
Thanks.
So there is no way we can approach BBMP unless final decision come on Akrama Sakrama.
Sreekant,
Pls help me to understand, in the case where OC and CC is not obtained by the builder, Can we still apply for Khata.
Thanks in advance
Dear Sachin,
Copy of OC is one of the documents that needs to be enclosed along with the Khata transfer/registration application.
But I believe that many applicants get this done without OCs by paying under the table payments.
Kindly note that OC is a very important document and try to get it from your builder.
Read : Importance of CC & OC.
Dear Sreekanth,
Could you please clear my below Queries?
The site is having 1400 Sq Ft.700 sq ft has been sold to some one by the land owner and I am planning to buy the remaining 700 sq ft.Land owner has constructed a new house in that 700 Sq ft area(Hence I am buying a ready built house).It is a B -Khata DC converted land.
1) Is it possible to convert the khata from B to A ?
If yes which one is better.Before registration or After Registration?
2)Khata name can be transferred to my name from land owner name ?
Since it is bifurcated will I face any issue ?
3)Electricity /Water connection can be transferred to my name ?
Finally What things and all to be considered when I am buying only half of the land.
Please clarify
Best Regards,Fantin
Dear Fantin,
1 – If possible you may ask your land owner to get A-khata in his name and after the registration you can apply for the Khata transfer.
2 – If everything is done as per rules, shouldn’t be an issue.
3 – Yes.
Check the mother deed, khatha bifurcation details etc.,
Hi Sreekanth,
I have purchased BDA approved flat which comes under Kodathi Panchayath(off Sarjapur Road) and Builder already provided OC and E Katha, Now I need to transfer Katha in to my name.(Currently its showing land owner Name). whats the procedure and Whats cost which required to pay for change the name. Is it possible to apply online?
Dear Raj,
Procedure : Kindly go through the points given in the article. Official cost around 2% of stamp duty + Under the table charges (in most of the cases).
Online Khata transfer facility used to be available, but for the last few months the link has been disabled. I am not sure if BBMP is now accepting the online applications or not.
Hi Sreekanth,
Appreciated for your quick response. My flat come under Panchayat, not under BBMP. When we approached Panchayat office for name change in khatha they mentioned 10-15k.
Is it acceptable?
Dear Raj..If acceptable & affordable to you, go ahead. Do note that I am not encouraging ‘under the table’ payments.
Hi Sreekanth,
I agree with, even I am not interested in under the table payments. But not sure without that they will process the request? I have Couple more queries..
What’s the nominal fee for only name change in Khatha, and How many days will take under Panchayat for this process.?
Dear Raj..I guess you can get the work done in 3 to 7 days (depending on the payment 🙂 )
Hi sir,
I have a recently built a house in hennur on a b katha land (d c converted) , can apply for A katha now after construction ..
Dear Roy..Is it under Panchayat limits?
Hi Srikant,
My house is at medahalli near KR puram.I want to transfer B katha to my name. I am going through third party for doing it. He said after B katha change, I will not get PID. It was only on papers. Please let me what he said is correct or not.
Regards,
Vijay bhaskar reddy,
Dear Vijay..Even in places like HSR (BDA), PID numbers are not being issued in most the of the Khata transfer cases. Suggest you to get Khata Extract after the transfer is done, to make sure that your name is recorded in the Khata register.
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for your reply.My landlord brought 2 sights and converted that as full sight on his name and sold to me after wards. Now one the half sight is having the PID and now middle men said that he will transfer that PID on my name and I can pay tax on that pid. Is it ok or do I need to ask anything.
Regards,
Vijay,
Dear Vijay..Do you have copy of Khata Amalgamation? Make sure you get Khata extract which has both sites in it.
Sir,
I got katha for my property in my name, but if I pay tax for the property, previous owner’s name is coming, what should I do to rectify it.
Dear Shobha..Mostly your the name transfer might not yet done in Khatha book. Suggest you to apply for ‘Khatha Extract’ to know if your name is reflecting in Khatha or not.
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for the very informative blog. I have a simple queries around khata transfer.
My case: i moved into the apartment in Dec 2014. The builder has paid the tax only upto 2012-13, which means i need to clear the taxes for 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16. The reason I didn’t pay taxes for current n last year is that my name is still not reflecting in the property tax document. My doubts are as below:
1. Do we need to first get the Khata transfer before we pay the taxes?
2. Or can we pay the taxes and then get the Khata transferred to my name. And then automatically, the property tax also gets updated with my name?
3. how are the 2 related – Property tax documents and Khata transfer
4. Do we need to go to the registrar office in the same area or can we go to any other registrar office as well to get the Khata trasnferred?
I would really appreciate if you can take your time out and answer these queries of mine.a
Dear Rakesh,
1 & 2 – While submitting the Khatha transfer application, generally the BBMP officer will ask for DDs towards Property tax dues too. So, first they will process your transfer request then update the property tax paid register in your name and then extract fresh Katha in your name.
3 – Khatha is like your bank account. Your property tax payments (the debits) are registered in Khatha book/register.
4 – Kindly note that ‘Registration office’ is different from ‘Revenue / BBMP office’. You can approach your nearest BBMP ward office to get Khatha transfer done. BBMP offices are also known as CMC offices.
Thanks for the responses Sreekanth. Appreciate it.
Today BBMP officer in vijayanagar ward 125 took Rs 10000 for khata transfer from my mother- in – law to wife name for that from past 15 days he did not move the file after paying Rs 10000 he started to fill all the required documents and said by monday he give the khatha and khatha extract in my wife.
Such a irrarting with BBMP when ask bribe even we pay tax on date worst.
Dear Dayanand..Unfortunately this is the case in most of the wards.
Thanks for sharing your experience here.
Hi Dayanand,
Did that monday finally he gave khata extract ? Because we also faced same issue
I have purchased a villa in Kanamangala main road in Whitefield which in under Panchayath. They are asking for 1% of the Sale value for Katha transfer and when I said it should be 2% of Stamp Duty on sale Deed, they said thats not the case. Can anyone please confirm if this is true and if there is any official document to clarify the Katha transfer fee in Gram Panchayath.
Dear Deepak..As far as I know it is 2% of the Stamp duty paid at the time of the Registration (as provided in the Sale Deed).
Hi sir,

Dear Nataraja,
If the documents are proper and if the zone is not a Green zone and layout is DC converted one, don’t worry it should be fine.
Is it under any panchayat limits?
yes it is under panchayath …
On registration is written as grama tana..
Dear Nataraja..I believe that you can apply for an e-Khatha right?
Hello Sreekanth,
I have recently bought a flat which is 10year old.. I am planning to get the Katha Transfer.. now my question:
1. Can i Directly approach BBMP for this or middleman would make my life easy?
2. Is there any timeline to get the Katha transfer from your purchased date?
3. Not relevant but for Idea- How much middleman generally charge for getting this work done?
Dear punit,
1 – Unfortunately or fortunately middle-men in most of the scenarios will make your life easy. However you can directly approach the BBMP office and its good if you can converse in Kannada. Do assume that in case if the officers (staff) are not responding to you properly, that means they might be expecting some extra payment from you.
2 – No. But it is always better to get it at the earliest.
3 – Generally 10k to 15k and it depends.
Hi Sreekanth,
I have purchased an apartment in Hoodi and have got OC as well. Now I am looking at going for Khata Transfer. I shall be paying the property tax for this FY (AY 2015-16) and thereafter shall go for Khata Transfer. Can you help me as how to go about it. Looking at your blog, I have downloaded the Khata Transfer form, I have the copy of registered sale deed, Tax payment receipt (one I pay). Not able to understand what is Title deed and how do get it. Since its an apartment bought from a builder, he has not shared the title deed docs with buyers but are possibly available with the lending bank from whom I have taken home loan. Bank is unlikely to issue a copy of title deed, please suggest if it is necessary to have the title deed or the copy of sale deed will do the job for me. Looking forward to your response.
Dear Ashish,
Title deed is your sale deed copy, that is sufficient.
Hi Sir,
I am planning to buy a 30*50 plot in a DC converted layout at seegehalli, Kr Puram. The layout is not approved but comes under BBMP limits. The layout has 3 owners. It has three different kathas. Katha amalgation is not done. There is representative for all these 3 owners among which MOU is done for developing the layout. Owners are in process of selling whole layout to MOU holder. During sale agreement , only representative will be signing. Is this acceptable ? My plot will be registered with couple of owners signing the sale deed and also representative. But not all 3 owners will be signing. Kindly advice on how to proceed.
Vikram.
Dear Vikram,
Suggest you to approach and consult a good civic lawyer and take legal opinion from the expert.
Hai Sir,
I bought a property on Tannery Road. And I need to transfer khata from old owner to my name, when approaching to municipal office, the officer is asking 15ooo to transfer after seeing my property document.
Could you advise, how to approach and what is actual and legal fees for khata transfer for 700sqft 2 story building in tannery road.
Dear Najee,
I believe that khatha transfer fee would be around 2% of the stamp duty paid (this you can find in sale deed document). Kindly note that 2% is not on sale value.
In addition to this a very nominal charge for Khata extract.
I guess the officer might have included under the table charges which can be around 60 to 75% of the total amount that he/she has quoted to you.
Dear Srikanth,
There is a house in sunkadakatte kebbahalla area which was given at free of cost for people in 1972. The original Accupatra says not to sale the property untill 25 years. But the allotte sold the property before 20 years. There is no khatta avaialble for this property, Now the property is being with 3rd party / owner.
But present land owner says he will get the B-khatta since he is going to sell the house.
Can we take a chance of buying this property.
Pls advise your suggestion
Dear Jayaprakashbabu..If I am in your position, I will not buy. However, suggest you to get legal opinion on this.
Hi sreekanth Reddy, can you please help with URL for online application for Khatha Transfer?
Hi Srikanth, Do u know what is process to khatha transfer in electronic city phase-2 ananth nagar?
We went to hebbagodi panchayat office where person was speaking only kannada, but after paying him Rs100 he started speaking engish and other languages. But again he asked to call him mobile for further details. He was not giving details for khatha transfer only he was speaking in code word which was difficult to understand. Govt paying salary to govt officers to do job but they speaks only after paying bribe.
This is really difficult to handle bribe in govt offices.
Dear Mukut,
The procedure is same as mentioned in the article. Unfortunately you may have to either go through an agent/pay extra to get this done. Kindly note that I am not encouraging you to do this but sadly this is the state of affairs in most of the govt offices.
Dear Magendiran..The link used to be on BBMP website and can not be found now, probably they are not providing online facility now.
Hi Sridhar
I tried to get the Katha transferee from BBMP, however the BBMP officer says that previous Katha entry is not in their register and hence he will issue a fresh Katha. Previous owner of the plot had the Katha and has been paying tax every year. Hence would like to know if it is ok to get fresh Katha for the site in my name.
Dear SS..If khata is already available then why to apply for the new one? Suggest you to apply for Khatha Extract for the said property and check the existing Khata details (if any) and then take decision accordingly.
Thanks for your advice, however the BBMP officer is saying that there is no entry in their register and hence he is not providing Khata extract. Will it be a problem if I get a fresh Khata issued for this property?
Also is 2% of registered charge for getting the Khata a right value? Rs.60000 for ₹30 lacs registered value.
Dear SS..You have said that the previous owner used to pay taxes, then what is that Khata? You may take help of a legal consultant regarding this. What about nearby property owners?
Hello srikanth. I am planning to purchase an house. (owner claimed it as B Katha)So i received all the documents from him to verify the genuinity in bbmp office. In bbmp office, they said the b katha entry is not present! And its a fake… But interesting part is the owner has paid the tax till date. Please provide your expert advise. In this case what is the problem and shall i proceed or not?
Dear Deepak..BBMP will accept ‘Tax payments’ on B-Khata properties but they will not have entries in their ledgers.
Thanks for the info. Srikanth. BBMP people said that currently khatha transfer is not possible since the khatha entry is not present i. The ledger. Hence they said they can issue fresh khatha which will be entered in the ledger. (i think bbmp staffs are lying in order to earn money in the form of new khatha registration?)
Btw another thing i want to ask is the building site plan mentioned in the document varies from the actual building constructed. As per the bangalore law, is this not a violation?. Won’t be any problem from the government in future?
Dear Deep,
Up to certain deviation (structural deviation) is acceptable, too much deviation is risky & may result any in paying hefty penality under akrama & sakrama scheme.
Hello SS. I too faced the similar problem… So could u plz update your current status?
Hi Deepak, the BBMP guy is making my lawyer to visit him multiple times over the last two months but has still not prepared the new Khata or transferred the old one.
Hi SS, can u please send me ur mobile no. to my mail id: deepakheatm@gmail.com
Can discuss about this..
Hi Sreekanth,

Hi Sir,

As per them they are appying for B khata as off now as occupation certificate is not yet issued by Builder.
Again they will apply for A khata once occupation certificate is issued

Hi Sreekanth,
I have purchased a apartment from an individual(Resale apartment). So, based on your post above for Khatha Transfer, the following documents are required. I had a few follow-up question regarding this.
1) Khatha transfer application form. – Can we get this from the BBMP website ?
2) Copy of Sale deed – Should the photocopy of the final sale deed be notarized ?
3) Last paid Property tax receipt copy
I have also checked in a few forums on the net, the these documents too are required:
Previous Owners Khatha Details(Khatha Certificate and Extract)
EC for the property(apartment) registered
Are these required too ?
There is also a mention of:
-Paid up improvement charges receipt
-National Saving Certificates for Rs.200/-
Is this required too ? .
And the final question regarding the amount, you have mentioned as 2% of Final Stamp Duty Paid at the time of registration .
Do we have to submit a DD in favor of BBMP with the amount – 2% of Stamp Duty.
Please let me your opinion.
Thank You in advance. Really Appreciate it.
Regards,
Nigel.
Dear Nigel,
When I applied for Khatha registration & Khata tranfer, i did not submit any ‘Paid up improvement charges receipt’or National Saving Certificates for Rs.200/-.
Yes you have to take DD in the name of ‘The Commissioner BBMP’.
Dear Sir,
how to change the khata in my name after the bda alloted the flat in my name in gnana bharati layout at kengeri in bangalore.
how much it costs and how many days it will take? if the time is long, any service for quick change in khata?
please inform me if any agents are there for the work
regards
murali
Dear Murali,
In your case, you have to apply for Khata Registration as you are the first owner of the property.
Suggest you to visit nearest BBMP help centre and get the details.
You may have to submit Khata Registration application, copies of Possession certificate,Sale deed, Latest Encumbrance Certificate (EC) reflecting the current owner name and Demand Draft (DD) for khatha registration and property tax
We have a plot in Blore KR puram, A or B Khata is not there. Can you please let me know, what is the procedure for applying khata for this property.

Hi Sir,
I am planning to buy a residential plot in north bangalore. The builder has said that the property comes under panchayath limit/yellow zone.

Thanks,

prveen2028@gmail.com
Dear Praveen,
As you are going for a home loan, you banker might do the due diligence before disbursing the loan amount. At the same time, suggest you to consult a lawyer and get the legal opinion. Does this property has e-Khata?
Dear sir,
I want to have clarification on the following two points.
1. what is the time frame for khatha transfer. Suppose , if BBMP does not issue it beyond such time, whom we contact.
2.Do we need to take Planning approval to construct house in BBMP areas ? If yes, How much it costs for a 27*33=1215 Sq ft land with ground+2 floors and what is the time frame for the same.
The land is in BBMP, K R Puram with ‘A Khatha’
Regards,
manjunathnarayan
Dear Manjunathnarayan,
1 – You can file RTI .
2 – Planning approval is compulsory. Time frame and cost, I am not sure.
Hi I have entered into an agreement with a person for buying property in am buying half part of the same it’s located in hsr layout 5th sector . I got to know that noc has to be obtained from bda for bifurcation now what shall I do who shall seek the noc is it the owner or we who are purchasing it . The other part is also sold to someone else whose khata is pending
Dear Ritesh,
The current owner has to apply for bifurcation of the property and get two Khatha certificates, you can then apply for khatha transfer on to your name after registering the property.
May I know the plot area size?
Total 2500 one guy have purchased 1200 sqft rest 1300 I am purchasing
Srikanth sir we have a property in bangalore in my husband name last year my husband passed away.
No what is the procedure of changing into my name and what will be the charges for the same sir.
Please reply as soon as possible sir.
Dear Manjula,
You can apply for Khatha transfer. You may have to submit below documents to get this done;
1) Khatha transfer application form.
2) Copy of Sale deed
3) Last paid Property tax receipt copy
4) Death certificate .
I believe that khatha transfer fee would be around 2% of the stamp duty paid (this you can find in sale deed document).
Same situation with me as manjula…. Sir …after khata transfer,,, procedure for sale deed and rental agreement ,,name changes,, (which is first ,,khata or sale deed name change)…how to go about it…thks..
Dear NCP,
Has your father left any WILL?
If no WILL is available, you have to apply for ‘legal heir certificate’ and also get ‘death certificate’.
Once you have these docs, you can approach local administration office (panchayati/bbmp/municipal office etc) for MUTATION of the property in your name and also get your name updated in ‘Registration office’.
After that you can apply for Khatha transfer.
It’s very helpful and thanks a lot for sharing this info.
I have checked the online application at BBMP online
But couldn’t see any option there.
We are living in an apartment off Sarjapur Road and few of us already got Khata through the bribe.
Any help?
Dear Vrijlal,
Surprisingly even I am unable to find their Khatha online submission URL. Will again check this out and get back to you.
Hi sir, we purchased a flat in btm layout bangalore. My building have 4 floors. 3 floors are approved. And 1 floor is unapproved. My question is it is possible for my building for a katha. We r ready to pay amount for a katha
Dear Vaishnavi,
Is your flat on the 4th floor? You may have to pay penalty (if the deviations are within the prescribed limits) and apply for Khatha. But I think Sakrama scheme is not yet implemented. Actually the flats in the 4th floor are treated as Illegal ones.
It comes under BBMP jurisdiction. Even if a scheme like Akrama Sakrama is approved by the court, it has a limited shelf life and any properties that don’t fit the regularization scheme may even come up for demolition. In all cases of violation, the violation is seen from the perspective of the entire building because the apartment was constructed as one unit and not as individual flats. If a proper approval was sought and then violated, then the extent of deviation will be studied to see if penalties will apply and to what extent. If the approval itself was from an entity that has no power of approval, then it is a 100% violation and we can’t predict the fate of such a building at this juncture. It is best to check with a good lawyer and get his/her opinion too.
Hi Sreekanth,
I would like to know whether A khata currently BBMP is issueing or not?
I have a property which has B khata but the central excise layout has conversion and other title.
what would be the procedure to covert the B khata to A Khata. And also i haven’t got the B khata transfer yet to my name. please advise.
Dear Nazim,
I did not understand this sentence- “but the central excise layout has conversion and other title” ??
HI,
I am planning to buy flat near sarpura road built by Mana builders. They will provide only E khata and pid number will be provided. I would like to know about E KHATA and will there but any problems in telling property?
Thanks in advance,
Sahana
Sorry in reselling the property.
all information helping for peoples.
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for your post. It is very useful and informative. I have a doubt. I am planning to buy a house built in a BDA layout. The current seller bought the house from another person 7 years back. The earlier owner had a BBMP khata certificate which says that the property is 363/1188 whereas the current owner has a BBMP khata stating the property is 159/1188 . All other documents are fine. What is this this initial number and does the initial number change sometimes. Please advise.
Thanks
Jitendra
Dear Jitendra..I am not very sure about this..kindly take a legal opinion. If you get any information, kindly do share that here.
hi manu, here i want to get a khatha transfer at jayanagar and the cost of the property to be registed for 7.6 cr and i want to know what is registration cost and khatha transfer fee . please let me know

Dear Manu,
Kindly consult a local Real estate consultant.
Hi Sreekanth,
I have a 2bhk flat in BTM 2nd stage, Bangalore which was bought in 2009. I have got registration done for the flat during the time of purchase however I have not got the khata done (and havn’t paid the property tax till now). The electricity bill is also still in the name of land owner. I would like to get these things done, kindly let me know what are the documents required to get this done and how much time would this take ?
I am currently located in New Delhi , is it possible to get this done through someone without me coming down to Bangalore ?
Regards,
Sumit
Dear Sumit,
Suggest you to personally visit bangalore and get it done. You have to sign few documents too. (You can get this done without you being present here, but ‘under the table’ costs would be very high).
You may first apply for Khatha Transfer – Submit copies of Sale deed, last paid tax receipt, DD for khatha transfer, DDs for paying tax dues (till date) & current khata extract.
Once Khata transfer is done, you may contact BESCOM area office – submit Sale deed, Affidavit, You may have to submit a letter signed by your previous owner or builder stating NOC for transfer etc.,
Hi Sreekanth,
I really admire you for an informative service that you provide in this site, thank you for guiding people like me, u will believe it or not, out of your inspiration after reading this block, this my first post in 8 years of my internet knowledge.
I’m really struggling to take a decision in two thing.
1. Farm house/Green City in Hulimangala Post (Opp to Treamis world school, near to Electronic city Phase-1) at 1600/sqft
1.1 will it be advisable to buy a farm house for residential purpose.
1.2 Owner says its DC approved and he is not aware whether its in green belt, so how to know these ?
http://www.indianrealestateboard.com/forums/showthread.php/21429-GREEN-CITY-FARM-HOUSE-near-Electronic-City
2. BDA 20*30 site in BSK 6th stage 4th T Block at 33Lakhs (~3Km from KSIT college in Kanagapura rd)
2.1.What all document should I request from the agent/owner
2.2. should I need to verify whether its first owner property or a resale property.
This is my first property purchase and scared of all scams in Bangalore, request you for some guidance and suggest some checklist .
Thank you in Advance —Venkatesh
Dear venkatesh,
1 – I have observed that there are lot of TITLE issues wrt farmlands near that area (issues like ST/SC lands, greenbelt areas etc). Kindly get a legal opinion and confirmation, if that venture falls under a greenbelt?
Also there are lot of irregularities happening wrt registration of farmlands/farmhouses.
2 – Good option. Request copies of Possession certificate, BDA Allotment letter, if possible ‘Mother deed’, Khata certificate/Extract, Property tax receipt (latest). If agent is good enough, try to get copies of utility bills (Electricity / Water).Do take legal opinion too.
Revert to me if you need any assistance 🙂
Dear Sreekanth
I have purchased a 30*40 plot last year, at the time of registration, registrar office did the land registration using form no 9 & 11 however now while approaching panchayath to transfer the katha they are denying to transfer katha mentioning the registration was illegal, but iam wondering the registration was done by government office only, now they suggest to apply katha for the person from whom I bought the land and then go for reregistration of the land,please suggest if there is any alternate option, I am wondering registrar office being government office, why did they entertain and did the registration if it was illegal.
Thanks
Narayanan
Dear Narayanan,
I believe that fraudulent transactions using fake assessment register extract (Form 9) and tax demand register extract (Form 11) to register properties have been going in many gram panchayats on Bangalore’s periphery.
This can be due to alleged nexus between real estate agents and revenue department officials. Sub-registrar officials might not have thoroughly verified the forms (authenticity of the forms).
Suggest you to consult a good legal expert at the earliest.
Dear Sir,
Am an apartment owner of Purva Highlands- Off Kanakpura road. My builder applied the e khata almost 1 year back. Still these people are saying it has not issued. Am fed up with builder reply. How do I know the status of my case. Is there any way I can track my application. Where I have to visit . pls help
Dear Rajesh,
Are you the member of your apartment association? It is always better to fight on these issues as a group.
Suggest you to approach the nearest bbmp or panchayat office and you can request for Khatha extract as a owner of the property.
Hi Sreekanth
What is Khata transfer fee in Seegehalli? it is panchayat area near Kadugodi.
I informed by Panchayat office its 1% of sale value, however, as per my information it is 1% on stamp duty paid.
Which is correct?
Regards
Nilesh
Dear Nilesh,
The percentage points (around 2%) is on stamp duty paid, as mentioned by you.
Hi Sreekanth,
For the e-Acution site from BDA, is the Katha given by BDA local office or BBMP? or where should I apply for Katha and the procedure if given by BDA or BBMP? Please comment
Thanks
Balu
Dear Balu,
BBMP gives the Katha. Now, there is a proposal that BBMP may be scrapped and will divided into 2 or 3 local bodies.
As of now, you need to apply for Katha @ BBMP local office.
Hi. Thanks so much for the info. The fee of 6840 you paid – is it 2% of the stamp duty amount? For example, if propoerty value is 1 crore, the stamp duty on registration is approx say 6 lakhs. Then 2% of this is 12,000. Is this right? Thanks so much …. Suresh
Dear Suresh,
2 percent of Stamp Duty is Khatha Transfer Fees.
What will be the procedure for transfering the khatha and what would be the charges and how do i pay it.
Kindly reply on urgent basis and also for the proces should i go only concerned register ofice or any office in bangalore .
Dear Santosh,
If the said property is in BBMP limits, then you need to approach nearest BBMP office or BBMP help-centres (and not Sub-registrar office).
I have explained the procedure and info abt the required documents in the article.
i want to applied khatha in srinivaspura town kolar (dr) for sale deed so can you help me on this how to applied through online
What is register nakalu means?
Dear Asha…I am not very sure…it can be copy of Khatha. May I know the property location??
For present day khata transfer in 2015, is NSC required along with other docs.?
Dear Yaar,
As far as I know, it is not required.
Dear Sreekanth,
My plot holds hakkupathra, this was alloted by government in 1993. When I met the thahasildhar for A khatha he said for government land there is no khatha, I’m not sure about that. Need to expertise advise on this as to how can I go about it.
Appreciate your response.
Thanks
Sreehari
Dear Sreehari,
Even I am not aware of ‘hukkupathr’. Suggest you consult a resident lawyer.
dear sir,
one of the spouses wants to voluntarily release their ownership from a joint property in bangalore (flat) due to separation.
what is the best approach for doing this? gift, release or is there a better option?
what are the fees involved?
and does the spouse releasing ownership have to physically present for doing this?
thank you for your help.
Dear SK,
I am not very sure on this.
I believe, gifting option should be good one. Kindly consult legal expert. Do update your experience here, so that blog readers and myself can learn from your update. Thank you!
Hi Sreekanth,
Its veryuseful information your providing in the site, first thanks your contribution to the people.
I have queries regarding the house purchased in the TC palya, Maragondanahalli village.
I paid an amount of 2 lakhs rupees token advance to confirm the house which is underconstruction, 30*40 site.
My builder going to register with his name in next week and provide the all the documents required.
This site has plot n umber and layout formed in 2003 only with approval from Bidaralli panchayat and not DC converted.
query regarding, can we get E-katha certificate for revenue site?
As my builder says, once they do registration for me then i can apply for E-katha, is it possible or am i going in wrong route, please suggest me.
Thanks & Regards,
Madhusudhana Reddy
Dear Madhu,
Thank you for your appreciation!
oops! DC conversion is very important thing. So, is the layout / plot under Green belt? Can it be used for residential purpose? Did you check out ?
Yes..It can be used for the Residential purpose as the layout contains 58 plots, all plots are constructed, only 7 plots are left to construct house.
I need to check , is the layout/ plot is under green-belt?
Dear Madhu,
As I said, DC conversion is very important. Check out both of them (DC order & Green-belt thing).
Hi Sreekanth,
I have been following your blog and sincerely appreciate your good & noble work.
I have a Panchayat Khata site in a gated layout on Hennur – Bagalur Road. Layout has roads & club house etc. Also there are some 15-20 houses & bungalows with residents already present within the layout & many under constructions going on. Water & security is provided by the developer & electricity by Bescom. Rumors of the layout coming under BBMP have been going around from a year but not sure about it.
I purchased this plot a year back & got the registration done directly from the builder. He was asking for a humongous amount for the Khata Transfer so put it aside to do later. He says full Khata is there on builders name, I need to get my plot khata transferred on my name and it will be an E-Khata. Except the Sale Registration Papers, I hold only a photo copy of all docs.
My questions are:-
1. Being a Panchayat site & having only registration on my name with no khata, is my investment safe?
2. (i) How do I get the Khata transferred on my name? (Pls re-answer) (ii)What docs should I hold to do this? (Any pics of docs u can attach so I can match with mine as I cannot understand Kannada) (iii)How much would be the estimate cost? (iv)Can you suggest any agent who would charge a fee & do it for me?
3. What are my risks if I leave it as it is?
4. What happens if the layout comes under BBMP as rumored? Do I have to pay some huge charges at that point of time to BBMP? Please put light on this process.
5. Will Akrama-sakrama effect me?
6. Someone suggested I should build a boundary wall with a small temp house & apply for Bescom connection to safegaurd the plot. Please suggest which path I should take or you would take if it was yours? 🙂
Let me know if you require any further details. Will look forward for your response eagerly.
Thanks
Syd
Dear Syd,
Thank you for your appreciation!
1 – Suggest you to speak to other plot owners and form a group, and get E-Khata done. Negotiate with your owner / middlemen to get this work done at affordable / reasonable cost. E-Khata is important if you want to re-sell your plot.
2 – Visit Panchayat office (hennur / bagalur) and you can get this done. You have to submit – copies of sale deed, up-to-date property tax receipts, passport size photos, plot photo, DD towards e-khata transfer charges..I believe approx cost including ‘under the table charges’ would be around Rs 10,000 for a 30/40 plot. As of now we deal with properties in and around HSR Layout only.
3 – There are no risks as such, but its better to get Khata done. Without Khata, it may be tough to get sanitary/electricity connections, home loans (if any) in future.
4 – Yes, the charges may differ between bbmp & panchayat Khata.
5 – If it is a approved layout and meet all the required conditions / approvals (slight deviations are ok) then no issues.
6 – Generally Bescom ppl will ask for Khata to be in your name.
Thanks alot for ur reply Sree & appreciate ur guidance. Forgot to mention, the layout is NOT DC Converted & spoke to one house owner & they hold an E Khata. The builder says tht its going to come under BBMP Limits so DC Conv doesn’t matter.
So, wl thr be any changes in ur previous answers now? Any comments on hw legal is the status of the bungalows in the layout? Pls let me kno.
Dear Syd,
As of now it is not under BBMP limits right?
I believe the layout should have DC conversion order. Hope it is not in Green-belt zone?? Did you consult legal expert before buying this property?
How did your neighbor got e-Khata when it is not DC converted? Am i missing something here??
Dear Sir,
I Live In Bangalore
I Am Buying One Flat Which Was A Khata But Owner Saying I Given Gift That Flat To My Daughter Same Flat Now If Daughter Will Sell That Flat And We Will Buy Than It Become B Khata
Is It Ok To Buy Flat Which Owner Got In Gift
Other Flats In Same Apartment Is A Khata
And One More Thing Owner Asking For Cash 60% And 40% Loan Amount Is It Ok To Do Transaction In Cash ?
And What Document We Should Collect From Owner For Verify With Lower
Dear Dhananjay,
How can A Khatha property becomes B Khatha one, just because it is a gifted property. Something wrong here?? (or) Am i understanding your query correctly?
Lots of property transactions do happen with cash components as a major portion. You can enter into sale agreement with transaction value. But, at what price are you going to register? Is it total value or only at loan value?
As Per Owner Said Govt Value Is 30 Lakh So Registered Value will Be 30 Lakh
Other You Give Me In Cash
About A Khata To B Khata He Gave Me This Gift Logic Even I Didn’t Believe
This Is Landlord Ownership Flats
And I Think Price Value Will Be Register Will Be Loan Value Only I Think
Is There any Problem I Will Face Except If I Going To Sell This Flat I Know I Will Face Huge Capital Gain Tax As I Will Buy@30 Lakh Will Sell At 60+ But I Am Going To Stay In This Home For 10 Year Minimum
Kindly Guide Me
Dear Dhananjay,
If you are not comfortable paying cash (major portion), kindly do not go ahead. Yes,in future if you try to sell at market value (with high white money component) then you may have to pay higher capital gains taxes.
Hi Sreekanth,
My self and my sister bought a B Katha plot in Ram murthy nagar,
The original plot dimensions are 60X40, at the time of registration the plot has been bifurcated into 30X40 and 30X40. there are 2 separate sale deeds are available.
When i approached BBMP to transfer B Katha from previous owner name to our name they are asking to pay property tax from 2008-09
The previous owner has already paid all the property tax dues before registration but still BBMP is asking to pay property tax for one site so that they can give Katha on my name
please suggest
Please provide me your mobile number so that i can call you
Thanks
Tharak Prabhu
Dear Tharak,
I beleive that they are expecting something from you (under the table).
Do you have the tax paid receipts for all the years? Is the plot still a vacant one? Do you own both the plots?
I prefer not to share my contact number. Hope you understand it!
Hi Sreeknath
I am planning to purchase a property that’s in BBMP limits but still has Panchayat Khata. Its a DC converted property in 2000 and taxes are being paid to BBMP.
The layout is not approved by BMRDA/BDA (maybe Panchayat as it has Panchayat Khata)
Is it possible to get e-khata for it and is e-khata requried during registration?
-Madhu
Dear Madhu,
Yes, you can apply for e-Khatha. Is this a new property? (First sale?)
E-Khatha is an important document during the registration process.
Not its a resale from first owner.
Do you mean e-khata is mandatory for registration?
Dear Madhu,
Officially, it is mandatory 🙂
Hi
HI,
I am planning to buy a apartment on sarjapura road BM Bavisha Sunshine. The flat belongs to gram panchayat, the builder & developer said that the gram panchayat project will not provide us the occupancy certificate. I just want to know is that legal to buy a apartment from gram panchyat without occupancy certificate. Additionally they are ready provide us E-khata for the flat and its approved by canara & andhra bank. Kindly provide the advise for the same…
Dear Santhosh,
I have replied to your query on Facebook. Kindly check.
Suggest you not to buy a flat without an OC.
Dear Sreekanth Sir,
Thanks a lot for sharing this useful post!
I have a question on E Khata as my apartment is under BMRDA. I took the flat possession in Dec’14. I engaged an Agent for E Khata Transfer. As per Agent, local Panchayat is asking for Property Tax + .5 % of flat sale value to be paid to them in order to get E Khata. I can definitely pay Property Tax but I am not sure why they are asking for .5 % of flat sale value. Panchayat said that they will issue receipt of this charges as well.
Any idea about such charges as I never heard of such charges before ?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sandeep
Dear Sandeep,
I believe that there are charges applicable (as mentioned by you), but I am not too sure about the percentage. You may do one thing, pay all the required charges through Demand Drafts only. Do share your experience here, it be useful for other too. Thank you!
(I will try to find out regarding the percentage)
Sir,
My site resigisteration done. For katha resigisteration. How can apply. Tell me instructions
Dear Vinay,
May i know the property location? Is it in a BDA / BBMP / BMRDA limits?
dear sir
I have bought a flat from a builder who had obtained OC before giving us possession. I have paid property tax and have property tax receipts (in my name) for last 2 years. I have EC and other relevant documents too.
However, when i go to BBMP, they tell me that betterment charges have not been paid by builder and hence khata transfer cant be initated.
can you let me know what solution do i have.
Dear Prakhar,
Suggest you to approach other Flat owners, contact your builder and ask him to pay the betterment dues.
Did you contact your builder?
Mr.Sreekanta Reddy
Sureshbabu
. I followed the guidelines as per sakala got my Khata transferred in 45 days without paying bribe. I registered my site 133 in VIDYARANYAPURA THINDULU to my daughter SHILPA .B.S by DANA PATRA .I got transferred the khata to my daughters name without paying bribe. At the time of giving property tax in online statement the ownership name has not been changed even though the khata transfer was done 3 months back.
I thought that change of name should come automatically. Still as per BBMP record site is in my name sureshbabu only.. Still as per BBMP record site is in my name only.
What is to be done can you please suggest
Dear Sureshbabu,
Yes, the new owner’s name should be reflected automatically. I believe this can be easily rectified. Kindly visit any nearest BBMP help centre where Property tax payments are accepted. Request the BBMP staff to check the owner name and update the records as per the latest information. Once the details are updated, take the print of latest property tax receipt.
You may also write an email to bbmp – bbmpsas@bbmp.gov.in
Dear Sir,
Three quick queries regarding Khata transfer for a property transferred through Gift Deed:
1. Is Encumbrance Certificate needed for Khata Transfer Certificate? If yes, who should apply for it
to sub-registrar office (or BBMP office?) — Donor or Donee?
2. Is any affidavit needs to be enclosed with Khata Transfer Certificate for property transferred through
gift deed? If yes, where can I find the format for the affidavit?
3. What other documents need to be attached for property transferred through Gift Deed?
The property is under BBMP Bangalore. Your reply through E-mail will be highly appreciated.
Thanking you. Best regards,RAKESH
Dear Rakesh,
1 – Yes, EC should be enclosed along with the completed Khatha transfer application form.
2 – Affidavit is required. You can do one thing, you can visit any sub-registrar offices (ex- kormangala BDA complex) and you can find lot of shops (property agents/lawyers/notary) who can help you to get this done.
3 – Copy of gift deed & latest property tax paid receipt. You have to pay applicable charges through Demand Draft.
Hi Sreekanth,
I am about to buy a site under Pancahayat limits and developer has got Form 11 B with property id numbers. When I search those PIDs numbers in e-Swathu website and its showing that the property can be registered.
Even a lawyer told me that I can register. Please let me know your advise if we can go for registration
Area is near Bagalur (Hennur – bagalur)
Kindly advise ASAP
Dear S Kumar,
With whatever information that you have shared here, looks like all is ok. Follow your legal consultant’s advice. All the best!
Thanks a lot Sreekanth
Very much appreciate your help
Best Regards
Hello Sreekanth,
I recently bought 30*50 dimension plot (gated community) from one of builder which comes ‘grama panchaytee’ and got registered also,with builder approved bank loan(India Bulls Home),Now builder is suggesting us, go for Katha transfer by paying again 15,000/Rs, since they(builder) are applying bulk as well they got request from many customers.Can you please suggest me actual cost for katha transfer ? (Including approximate bribe) and Builder still doing development work on plots area,he has still 18 months time duration .
(There are already 2 bores and electrical lines with also pols adjacent to all plot roads , but no individual water and electrical connection for each plot).
Dear Sivakumar,
I believe your builder is referring to e-Khatha. It is advisable to apply in group. Try to negotiate the charges if applying in group.
As far as I know, it may cost you anywhere between Rs 10k to Rs 15k (including under the table payments).
Many more thanks for your suggestion,Sreekanth
HI Sreekanth,
Many thanks for your service.
Actually I am planning to buy an apartment in Kammasandra village in Electronic city phase-2 Banaglore. While processing for the home loan, I found that, there is no OC issued but have E Katha number with Katha extract and Katha certificate. I understand to get Katha for the apartment, one need to have OC.
The owner say, since the apartment is less than 50 meters, and is in rural limit no OC will be issued. But this project is approved by BMRDA.
Should I go ahead with the purchase without OC since the apartment have Katha certificate and Katha extract.
Best regards,
Rebbin
Dear Rebbin,
Yes, OC is an important document. Money makes many things. Some builders bribe the officials and get the Khatha certificates without producing the required documents.
Proceeding with registration when your builder does not provide occupancy certificate is a risk that might make your property a B-khata property. In future, you may have to pay a penalty. Check out if the apartment has been constructed as per the Sanction plan? (minor deviations are ok).
Also, it may be tough to get home loans too.
I suggest you to avoid buying a Flat which does not have OC.
Hi Rebbin,
Buying a property without OC is a big risk.
ECity will come under Grampanchayat majorly, if it is approved by BMRDA then it is good and it will be a land approval.
At the same time if the builder is not providing OC, then there is something fishy.
Important things to consider before investing in ecity are
1. Verify who is the land approver (BMRDA) verify the paper
2. Who is the building plan approver – ecity is majorly under Grampanchayat (no OC’s will be issued)
2a. Maximum elevation allowed in Ecity phase 1 is only Basment+Ground+3floor
3. Do they have a STP or Drainage facility – Few apartments are fined for not having STP (~10,000 per flat)
4. Is there a fire approval for the sanctioned plan by the ecity fire department (hight of the building)
5. Are the EC available for last 3 years
6. Check the available Khata (A/B/E)
Buying a flat is not a issue here, if the building is not deviated more than 5% of approved plan it is good. Today Ecity is under Grampanchayat because Infosys and Wipro does not want it to come under BBMP due to tax issues, but eventually it will have to. If you have all the documents and the building is as per the approved plan then you can pay the Tax, Betterment changes and with OC you should be able to Get a A khata.
All the best with your property hunt.

Sam
Dear Sam,
Thank you so much for sharing your views.
Hi,
Thank you for the article, i have one problem hope you will suggest some tip.
We have taken land near hebbal, the place comes under gramapanchayat, the owner has done agreement with us, if we ask for registration, he says the registrations are stopped please wait. There is no way to register revenue sites?.
We can’t register revenue sites now?, the sites is made in new layout. We can get the khata done later right but at this moment we can’t register?
Dear Puttu,
If regirstrations are not allowed, he could have told you at the time of ‘agreement’ itself right?
Suggest you to directly visit a nearest Sub-Registrar office and check out if registrations are happening for the sites (of new layout).
Is it in green-belt zone? I have heard that the registrations of sites which are in green-belt zone are stopped.
When did you enter into an agreement? (Date)
When is the due date for registration?
Hi, Thank you for the reply.
We took land last year i.e in the month of March 2014. Yes we called sub-register office they are saying, if we bring khata, they will register it else no :(.
Village panchayat says, we issue khata only if its Gramthana or DC converted. Since it falls after 100mts radius of village, so its Green belt i guess. We have agreement. Now what are the possible options? can you suggest please.
The hard earned money is stuck up there :(:(:(
Dear Puttu,
Oh my God! 1 year is pretty longer duration. I can understand your situation.
Yes, registrations in green belt zone are not happening, as i mentioned in my previous comment.
Some people, produce fake Khatas (or) khatas of other sites and get the registrations done for revenue sites. (I Know it is illegal, but its happening, money makes many funny things).
What percentage of the sale value did you pay to him?
Hi,
since he was our family friend,we trusted him & paid full amount. We are not getting what to do. Just a trust killed us. He is now playing around saying, registrations not opened, this that. like that. Any possibilities when the registrations can happen?
Dear Puttu,
I am really surprised that how did you pay the full amount on agreement day itself??
I believe it may be very tough to register a plot which is in a green-belt zone.
Suggest you to negotiate with him and settle the deal.
As per the sale agreement, what is the due date for registration?
Hi, Thanks for reply.
Actually we took 2 plots, at that time all those gram panchayats were in the process of upgrations i.e they were introducing the computer systems in all gram panchayats. At that time registrations were tentatively stopped. Since the land lord was our family friend, we just paid the full amount & he said he will register it once everything is fine. Later i.e after 3 months we come to know that, lands we took is in litigation, i.e after visiting the plots & just investigated few info from the neighbors. Then we justified the same to owner, then he tried to offer plot in his new layout but no registrations are taking place over there. He is keep on pushing the dates, so we are not sure what to do :(. We are consistently asking money but he is telling us to take in new layout.
Dear Puttu,
Since he is your family friend, try to exert some pressure on him by taking your family members / friends’ support. Try to settle the issue amicably.
If this does not work out, suggest you to consult a lawyer.
Hi, is there any chances of getting these revenue site registrations done?. Since when this was stopped actually?, no point in waiting??. These akrama sakrama will not cover the revenue sites registration?
Dear Puttu,
I believe it is better not to wait anymore, even after understanding the risks associated with your investment.
Suggest you to consider my previous reply.
Hi, Sir. Our land issue is taking multiple turns. owner is telling i will give one land get the GPA done & once the registrations are open, get it registered. However the land our owner is giving is having Manual Khata and it does not have e-khata. So doing GPA is better option?.
But also i read somewhere that GPA is closed by govt of karnataka, is it true?.
If GPA is good option, then what would be the cost of the GPA registration?.
Please provide your thoughts & thank you.
Dear Puttu,
I believe that GPA registrations are not possible now. Don’t go ahead with this option. Try to get back your money.
in my khatha certificate there is small spelling mistake is there in my fathers name how to correct it
Dear,
I believe the error can be rectified.
Suggest you to visit the nearest BBMP help centre with copies of your Sale deed/title deed, khatha, ID & residence proofs and latest tax receipts.
Suppose, on the death of owner and the khata needs to be transferred to the legal heir, is release deed needed?
Dear Sowrabha,
I believe you need to submit Legal heir affidavit, Death Certificate, Sale deed copy, existing Khatha, Last tax paid receipt along with Khatha transfer application.
Do consult a lawyer or visit nearest BBMP help center for more details. I do not want to misguide you.
I recently bought an apartment. They have given all documents including Khata of Land.
They have not given CC or OC. How can I apply for ‘A’ khata, Getting OC / CC is impossible because builder deviated. Please help what can be done for getting A khata
Dear Raj,
Completion certificate (CC) or Occupancy Certificate are very important documents. Every builder has to give these to the buyers (after the registration of properties). What is the percentage of deviation?
OC/CC are very important docs to get home loans, basic civic amenities (water/electricity) and to get Khata.
If the deviation is withing limits as prescribed by Akrama-Sakrama, once this scheme is implemented then you can pay penalty and get approvals.
Really useful info Sree. I am proud you are doing all these. Let more people get benefit of your advices
Thank you Kariappa. Please share the posts among your friends, they may also find them useful. Cheers!
CONGRATULATIONS Sreekanth,
All the very best
Thank you Ravi.
