It is very cumbersome to handle the various different certificates and documents required to proceed if you are either buying or selling property. We attempt to demystify the most prominent of these, Khata.
What is a Khata?
It literally means an account, this Khata is an account of a person who has property in the city. It is an account of assessment of property owners within BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) jurisdiction. Khata is important when you apply for any license of building or for trade, applying for loan from any banks or financial institution.It consists all the details of property like name of owner, size of buildings, location of property and all other details that helps to file property tax.
There are two things in a Khata:
a) Khata Certificate
b) Khata Extract.
a) Khata Certificate
A BBMP Khata certificate is required for two major purposes:
1. For registration of a new property,
2. For transfer of any property.For applying khata certificate, the owner of property has to give letter of requisition along with details and receipts of tax paid (latest) to Assistant officer for the sub-division or range. The fee for certificate is RS.25/- per property.Khata Certificate is obtained for any new registration after paying the tax. The certificate is issued saying that a particular property No ‘XYZ’ stands in the name of person A. This certificate is required to apply for water connection, electricity connection, trade license and building license. The Khata certificate is given only to the owner of the property or to his family members. No one else can take it on his behalf. It takes maximum of One week to get the certificate. One can also get it instantly in some citizen service centers (details: http://www.bmponline.org/citizen-svc-centersl.shtml)
(When a transaction takes place both the seller and the buyer have to inform the BBMP within three months of the transaction. In case of death of either party, within one year.)
b) Khata Extract
Khata Extract is getting details from the assessment register. The extract is required to get trade license, or to buy a particular property. It has the details of the property like the name, size of the property, use of the property (commercial purpose, residential), annual value, when assessed last.For getting a khata extract, owner of property has to give letter of requisition with property location and details. The fee is Rs.100/- per extract for a period of 5 years of the property.
Eligible for obtaining Khata
All property owners/holders who hold property within the BBMP jurisdiction are eligible to obtain a Khata. Obtaining a khata does not confer ownership of property but confers the person who liable to pay property tax. Property tax can be paid by property owners/holders who may or may not have Khata but it is important when you apply for any license of building or for trade, applying for loan from any banks.
Document required for Khata registration
For applying Khata registration, you needed to enclose following documents along with registration form.
1. Documents required for property of land type- Revenue Pockets / BDA Reconveyed areas / Gramathana :
i. Title deed (Reconveyed documents from BDA in case of BDA Reconveyed areas)
ii. Tax paid receipts and Khatha details
iii. Sketch of your property showing its boundaries and location of site
iv. Improvement Charges
v. National Saving Certificates for Rs.200/-
vi. Encumbrance certificate for vacant sites
vii. Flow chart of title
2. Documents required for property of land type- BDA / KHB Layout
i. Title deed or Possession certificate
ii. National Saving Certificates for Rs.200/-
iii. Encumbrance certificate for vacant sites
iv. Flow chart of title.
What is Khata Transfer?
Khata transfer is required when the ownership of property is transferred from one person to another for any reason like sale of property, gift, will or in case of death of property owner and so on. The application for Khata transfer is same that for registration and the documents needed along with application are following:
1. Title deed
2. Tax paid receipts and Khata details
3. Paid up improvement charges receipt
4. National Saving Certificates for Rs.200/-
5. Death certificate of owner (in case of application due to death own property owner)
6. Affidavit declaring the applicants is legal heirs of the deceased khatedar.
What is Bifurcation of Khata?
Bifurcation of Khata is modifying two or more Khata into one or dividing one Khata into two or more Khata. Application form for bifurcation of Khata is same that applied for registration
Procedure for Registering, transferring and modifying Khata
- Obtain Notarized copy of your sale deed: There are number of notaries in Bangalore where you can get your work done at reasonable fees and the entire sales deed is notarized for charge of Rs 80-100. Normally agents charge good commission per page and charge for get your work done rises to Rs 200 and above.
- Encumbrance certificate (EC): Get EC for your property and one has to carry copy of sales deed for getting EC. Normally EC is handled within 7 working days.
- Application for Khata: Obtain Khata registration form for applying for Khata. Application is same applying for Registration, Transfer and modification of Khata. It is available either online or at any BBMP office. Application costs Rs10.
- Enclosure of documents: While applying for Khata, enclose the essential documents and fill up the necessary information in the application form. Submit the filled registration form at BBMP office and get sealed acknowledgement for the same. Acknowledgement is one of the sheets in the application.
- Check the status of your application: Visit once in 15 days and check the status of your application. Remember any documents demanded by the BBMP office, over and above those listed above, and validated by the RTI is illegal to ask and just a means to harass you and tire you down.
- Seek Information: After 2 months if there is still no activity then file the RTI to seek information on status of khata registration.
- Assessment of Property by Officials: The BBMP Revenue Incharge and Assistant Revenue Officer personally visits the property to assess the property. Please note that if the property is assessed as commercial read as ‘Rented Out’ the property tax is twice the normal property tax.
- Khata Registration fee: After the property is assessed BBMP formally communicates this mentioning the property dimensions (in sq feet), its value as per BBMP assessment and the tax liability thereon. One is also provided with a notice mentioning the same and informing you to pay the Khata Registration fee – 2% of the property values as Khata Registration fee (this is 2% of the value mentioned in the Sale deed). Once you pay the Khata Registration fee, in about 1-2 weeks, one receives the notice for paying the pending property tax. Without this the Khata Extract will not be issued in your name. But if you have reached this point it means Khata has been technically registered on your name.
Fee for Khata related processes
Application for Katha registration, Katha transfer can be applied in the form “Application for Registration/ Modification of Khata”. You can also download the form from BBMP website and link is as follows-
http://www.bmponline.org/forms-pubs/PUBs/KhataRegistrationForm.pdfFee for Khata Registration is 2% administration fee on stamp paper value. Rs.100/- per sq.yard (in new areas) or Rs. 50/- per sq.yard (in old areas) towards improvement expense.Fee for Khata transfer or modification such as bifurcation or amalgamation is 2% administration fee on stamp paper value.
Khata certificate is often misunderstood with title deed. Title deed is the deed agreed between a buyer and seller during the transfer of property and Khata is account of assessment of property. Khata does not confirm ownership of property but assessment of property for the payment of tax. The property owner can pay their property tax in two installments but improvement expense must be paid in lump sum.
You can apply for Registration, transfer or modification of khata in Assistant revenue officer for the sub-division or range between 10 am to 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm on all working days. BBMP offers Sarala Khata Scheme Book which is available in major citizens’ service center on payment of Rs.20/-. This book contains guidelines and details for filing application for khata. You can also get more information from BBMP website on services offered by revenue department. The link for BBMP website is http://www.bmponline.org/ .

I have Site at Hosakerehalli , i have Betterment Charge Fee slip which i paid in 1998 and my site got register in 2006. So will i get A khata.
Bcoz if i approach BBMP office nobody will response correctly.
Can some help me . Your help will highly appreciated in this regard.
Since you have already paid betterment fee, you should get A Khata. But make sure that you have also paid upto date property tax.
yes i have paid upto date tax everything. but i dont know in BBMP office they are telling “Akrama Sakrama” scheme should come, then only we can issue Akhata.
but some people says if you paid Betterment charge you are elgible for Akhata.
Could you please help me how to approach and the list of documents aswell.
Thanks for you help in advance..
As far as my knowledge “Akrama Sakrama” is applicable applicable only for revenue site and DC conversion site. You don’t have to wait for that because you have already paid betterment fee. To get A-khata produce these following documents.
1. Betterment fee.
2. CMC Khata.
3. EC, Latest tax paid and Sale deed.
Thank you sir for your help and Thank you so much for your help….
I want to know what is CMC khata , how to produce to BBMP.
Dear Sir,
If you have DC Conversion order and if the layout approved by the competent authority as per the DC order, you are eligible for the katha.
Or if you have Form-9 and Form-10, approach the concerned RO and submit an application with necessary statutory fee.
ecopackindia
Dear Sir,
The site may fall in the unauthorised or illegal layout zone(check DC Conversion), it has to be regularised, if not, wait for akrama-sakrama.
ecopackindia
Hello Sir,

please let me know.
My wife has applied for khatha tfr at ARO MLm as she is the only daughter. The ARO MLM has acknowledged vide his no 1487/2005 dtd 24-11-2005.It is her mothers property at 4356/8 3rd cross, Subramanyanagar Bangalore 560021 coming under Rajajinagar II stage and up to date tax paid under PID no9-20-8. Due to an RTI application moved the BBMP has queried to produce reconveyance deed and a PC from BDA which has been applied on 25-07-2011. BDA after spot vfn has replied that no information can be given due to its register is blank. An appeal dtd 17-11-2011 to the BDA commissioner is still pending without any action. What will I have to do further. The BBMP on its part has filed to accept its own orders regarding acceptance of improvement charges at the rate of Rs 50 per sq yard though no intimation was served on us during this period of 6 years
Hello Guys..
Am planning to buy a 2400sqft plot in the vajrahalli, kanakapura road. I got the documents from the broker (sale deed, DC conversion order etc, and property tax records). Broker is saying he can get A Khata in 15 days.
I called to owner, he is saying, Betterment charges are not paid.
Is it possible to get A katha with out paying bettement charges???
Is it possible to get bank loan over it???
Plz write ur comments if any risk involved in this?
As fas as my knowledge you CANNOT get A-Khatha without paying betterment fee. only few banks offer loan for DC conversion site.
Regarding khatha tfr of 4356/8, 3rd cross, Subramanyanagar Bangalore560021 under Rajajinagar II stage my wife has applied vide no 1487/2005 on 24-11-2005. Uptodate tax paid vide PID no9-20-8. As you have mentioned apart from asking a Reconveyance deed and a PC from BDA which is pending since 25-07-2011, as an alternative, BBMP in reply to RTI asked an improvement charge at the rate of Rs 50 per sq yard, but refused to accept on volunteering to pay. You may kindly enlighten me whether this clause is still in vogue and whom to approach if the BBMP refuses to accept. It is already 6 years over at BBMP and 6 months at BDA who are reluctant to work even for RTI applications.

Final Conveyance of Property in Apartment Building > When Takes Place ?
“Formation of Apartment Owners’ Association, In Bengaluru -Karnataka”.
Some Thoughts and Ideas considered worthwhile sharing:
1. There is no gainsaying that difficult questions arise in cases where promoter/seller has blatantly failed, with impunity or otherwise, to comply with/contravened (deliberately or otherwise) the mandatory requirements of the law.
2. To list some of them ostensible but of a vital nature, >
Deviations/violations of the construction regulations;
Non-payment of so called ‘development’ / ‘improvement’ charges, being debt principally due / owed by him to the BBMP:
Not procuring a ‘master’ khata for the entire property (land and buildings), after its completion and the obtaining by him of a OC or CC from BBMP, so as to facilitate the obtaining of the ‘individual’ khatas in the names of the purchasers;
Not procuring OC or CC from the competent authority (which is now BBMP for all areas, including those earlier fell under different authorities such as, – BDA, etc.) before individual conveyances, in any event, before the final conveyance of the entire property to the Owners’ Association;
AND furnishing to the purchasers/Owners’ Association , among others, the two most essential documents namely, Advocate’s Certificate and Architect’s Certificate ,so as to evidence his title also its /marketability’ (this is what is compendiously referred to /covered in the legal concept of “MARKETABLE TITLE”, so on running into a long list.
3. For useful clues, one has to look at the applicable clinching provisions of the law ; in particular, Rules 9 and 10 of the KAR.OWNERSHIP FLATS (REGN, etc.,) RULES , 1975. What require to be specially and incisively noted there from are these:-
According to a close reading of the extant two interrelated Acts (Flats Act and Apartment Act), the said Rules are of equal application to, not only ‘Flats’ but also ‘ Apartments’, as well.
Further, they are seen to make it more than adequately clear on the following:
> (1) It is the promoter/vendor, and he alone, who is solely responsible for fulfilment / completion of all the above referred mandates of the law;
>(2) He continues to be so responsible and answerable in law, to the purchasers, until such time he has fulfilled / completed all his obligations; particularly, in case of apartments, including the forming an “Owners’ Association” and due registration thereof with the statutorily appointed competent authority being the ROCS (in short); AND
>(3) Unto the point in time when he has, after having performed duly and strictly all his statutory obligations, to the satisfaction of all the purchasers as a body, finally fulfils his obligation to convey the whole of the property (including land and building(s)), significantly, though symbolically, by the act of formal handing over of all the requisite documentations to the registered Owners’ Association.
To be precise, proceeding on the foregoing premises, in one’s conviction, the purchasers could not be regarded to be left with no remedy ; but could be entitled to, in exercise of their lawful rights and interests , enforce them by resort to suitable course(s) of action. May be, in a manner of ( legally and strictly ) speaking, it could be validly urged, that they are entitled to do so, even after the final stage of conveyance as aforementioned ; especially in those cases where purchasers could rightly and validly urge, on the ground that the cause of action arose, as legally understood, after that stage of final conveyance.
A firm legal opinion, if obtained on the foregoing critical aspects, from any noted competent Advocate, might go a long way in helping and improving upon the present thinking seen to be by and large obtaining in common perception.
KEY NOTE: THE POINTS OF VIEW SOUGHT TO BE SHARED HEREIN HAVE, IT IS TO BE NOTED, EVERY RELEVANCE, OF EQUAL VALIDITY, TO , BESIDES THE TOPIC OF Khata, ALSO TO OTHER intricately connected TOPICS viz Development Charges, OC/CC, and all other legal requirements/mandates, to be primarily complied with by Vendor, albeit within the knowledge of, OR in co-operation/ co-ordination / concurrence/knowledge with/of , Purchasers.
As usual one more email to CM was forwarded to BDA. There was a phone call to me by one Mr Narayahaswamy from BDA to visit him as they are not getting anything regarding the prioperty. A visit revealed that our property is numbered as 4354 which has been reconveyed to my neighbour. Only thing for us to do is exchange the property with the neighbour. However when I requested him to give a written reply he said that the matter is referred to DC for resurvey and the file given for scanning and he would contact me in a week and the matter will be sorted out. He also told me that CM and other higherups cannot do anything and he is the peson who actually does the work and no amount of reporting the matter to CM will help.
I have a BBMP B Khatha, A Form 10 and a conversion order from Agricultural to Residence in 1972.
I am trying to get an A khata by paying Development charges. But BBMP is refusing saying that only Form9 and Form8 people qualify?
Could you please clarify? Am totally confused and disgusted. All other papers are in order.
Hello Nagendra Sir,
We bought a DC converted site originally belong to gram panchayat. Now, it comes under BBMP, previous owner paid all taxes to BBMP. We got B-khata after registration process. when I paid taxes to BBMP, the tax paid receipt still shows up old owner name instead of my name. What could be wrong? how to fix this? please help.
Thanks in advance.
Kumar,
Please give name transfer request to respective area BBMP ARO. You need submit
1. copy of sale deed (New Sale deed registered on your name)
2. Request letter.
They will change the name in 2/5 days. then you can go and collect new Tax Paid receipt on your name. If paid online you can take new print out on your name.
Thanks you Murthy sir. I’ll do that.
Hi Nagendra,
I purchased a flat from Sumadhura Constructions, Bangalore on July 2009 and I took the possession the Flat May 2011. The Construction Land is A-Khata Land. Till now Builder is not responding for Khata Transfer Process and postponing the dates. We are 140 Flat owners need to get the khata bifurfication. Please advise and how to proceed for this Khata Transfer process.
Thanks
Rao
See no reply from Nagendra. Be that as it should, the view points set out and clues provided in the write-up of March 30, 2012 may be found to throw some light and be of use. As pointed out, besides Khata for the land, had the builder/seller , as he is dutybound to do, on completion of the bulding construction applied for and obtaned a ‘master’ (mother) khata from BBMP, the process of bifurcation of that khata and obtaining individual khatas is rendered just a routine and a cake-walk.
No doubt, the predicament/hardship by the quesrist now faced could have been avoided had the purchaser, even before going through conveyance, called on and insisted upon the builder/seller to obtain and ensure that he has in his possession the requisite master khata.
Even so, the imminent poser is this: In a case where the builder /seller has failed to do so, and the BBMP also has been a party thereto, willing or otherwise, what is the rhyme or sane reason for letting the buyer to suffer the undue hardship. May be, in such cases it is the BBMP’s lawful responsibility to , when applied for buyer, issue promptly the individual khata, without raising any kind of technical objection, but after setting right and / or condoning the wanting of a master khata,for no fault of the buyer.
A related story: Recently, one has come to hear of a court case of relevance. According to information (subject to anyone interested scouting around and finding out the exact details), that is a case where demand for ‘development charges’ against the builder/seller has been disputed before the court, hence remained unpaid. Issue of individual khatas to the buyers been withheld by the BBMP . However, when moved, the court, it is heard, has directed the BBMP to issue the individual khatas, despite the pending dispute on the issue concerning development charges.
Now, it is left to anyone to readily surmise and know which side of the bread is buttered. Also, to decide how exactly to proceed; which, of course, should be done only after a proper consultation with a competent but reliable counsel, known for certain to be specially equipped, having special exposure and expertise in such matters.
This whole A katha, B katha, etc., etc., is there just to confuse, trouble, and cheat the buyers. Builders and developers cheat people easily with forged documents, and BBMP officials can demand huge bribes at every step.
Why cannot the government computerise all land records? They will not computerise land records because most layouts are created by politicians in benami names. Even former karnataka CM is involved in all kind of land scams. God save this country.
How to online check current status of property by khatha numbers?
Hi Friends,
For Khata
1) What is that National Savings Certificate (is it same as issued by any Post Offices??)
2) What is improvement charges? where to pay it? how to pay it?
Thanks…
A motivating discussion is worth comment. I do believe that you should publish more on this topic. To the next! Cheers!!
Amazing things here. I am very glad to look your article. Thanks a lot
Hey there, this is a great blog well done! It’s nice to find such a quality blog like this. We will definetly be coming back for more of a read.
Hey, thanks for interesting tips. good job!
Sir,
I have a site in Kadugodi Belathur inside Maruthi lay out. As per records that is sale deed the measurement is 30×48 whereas it is actually measuring 30×40 perhaps due to encroachments.
b) I have exchanged my site with a neighbour and I dont have the original sale deed of the site transferred to the seller, that is mother deed. however I can obtain a certified copy from the subregistrar but purchasers are insisting original sale deed.
c) Various documents has been quoted in original sale deed which transpires that the site is DC converted, partitioned and sold to us, But we dont have copies of documents quoted in sale deed( mother deed). Purchasers are insisting production of documents quoted in mother deed.
d) Neighbouring site owners are telling that the original owner has DC converted only a portion of the property in their possession whereas property sold to us are unconverted, but has quoted these documents to show it as actually converted.
What is the position now? and can i sell the property?

Hi Everyone,
I Had the Bettement charge fee , but PID (Propery Identification No) no has not been updated. Can someone please help that how can i get it updated in betterment fee slip.
Click here to refer to article in The Hindu
Property owners, notably buyers of units in apartment buildings, are only too willing to pay the tax due, as properly calculated, provided it is readily accepted by the BBMP without much ado about nothings or insignificants or inconsequences. However, buyers are often faced with irritants resulting in disillusionment. One such bizarre instance (or instances) heard to have come to surface in recent couple of years is when BBMP, with no rhyme or valid reason, has been obstinately refusing to issue or withheld issuance of so called khatas to buyers on the strength of the only proof required namely, the deed of apartment (sale).
It appears, that is a commonly faced problem , in respect of those new apartment buildings, which have come to be occupied at a point in time after the BBMP has promulgated ordinance and initiated action for collection of so called ‘development (or improvement) charges’ ( the charges). In particular, those are cases where requisite approval of any building project, as per the then extant administrative local regulations (since undergone changes), had been given by the BDA, and accordingly, on completion, the occupancy /completion certificate been issued by the BDA.
Earlier, the BBMP despite its efforts could not, as reliably learnt, impose and/or collect the charges by virtue of a court order of stay. It was only after the stay was vacated later, that the BBMP came out with Ordinance, and toned up its machinery for collection of the said charges. In the process, even those projects albeit originally approved, and on completion, cleared by the BDA, as aforesaid, were sought to be subjected to the rigour of the charges; albeit, in a considered view improperly so.
In the nature of things, no buyer could be expected to have known about such later developments, in the normal course. There seem to have been Instances where it is only when buyer applies to the BBMP, the designated authority, for issuance of a khata for his apartment, that he is made aware of a demand for the charges outstanding collection from the seller; who, as the developer of the project , is, beyond any doubt, legally responsible and bound to be answerable for the liability. Be that as it may, buyer is confronted with a piquant situation that the BBMP refuses to or withholds issuance of khata to buyer, unless and until the outstanding demand for the charges gets paid by the developer/seller. Notwithstanding , the seemingly correct legal position is that, the BBMP’s recourse to have any such outstanding demand for the charges collected / enforced in law, could be only to the developer/seller; in no case, to the buyer.
In the ultimate analysis, it requires to be specially noted that, in any view it is the BBMP, and the BBMP alone, jointly and severally with the developer/seller, who has to lawfully bear the brunt of the entire blame. For, buyer will not have been obliged to face the unintended hardship had the developer / seller , as required of him, sought and obtained a ‘master khata’ for the entire property (land and building), and the BBMP had insisted upon and ensured that the seller had in his possession such a composite khata before his effecting any conveyance of apartments to individual buyers. That , in turn, would have facilitated , and made it a routine affair, for buyer to straight away seek and obtain a ‘bifurcated khata’; that is, the individual khata for his apartment.
It goes without having to add that, for these reasons, it is now left to, rather high time for, the State government, the BBMP and other concerned authorities to come out with clear-cut guidelines, and sincere follow-on action, so that the long prevailing chaos in the matter of issuance of khata is cleared once for all, with no further procrastination.
It is hoped that the recently mooted idea of GIS-based PID, launched with unprecedented fanfair/publicity, would directly or indirectly help in resolving and saving the buyers community from the woes and hassles suffered by them for long thus far; wishing, sooner than later.
No doubt, the buyers community owes unto itself the duty to pursue the matter suitably with the concerned authorities, including the minstry, until such time their woes get remedied and all related problems resolved once for all.

Hi,
can you pleaes let me know how to check my property details on web?
what is the URL?

Hi,
I am planning to take a second hand flat, building was BBMP approved at the time of construction and current owner has B khata on his name, so can you please guide me is it worth to take the property without having A khata . Since the property is having loan as well as approved from nationalised bank at the time of construction. I have check authenticity of the property and its worth to buy, but only question in mind about the A khata.
Also if its yes then what would be the procedure to convert that into A khata once it got registered on my name and does that charegr how much extra amount approx.
I have a 80 year old property in Bengaluru which was purchased by my grandfather in 1939/40. My family members have been living there since then. Now we wish to sell the property and find that we have misplaced the original title deeds. Since my grandfather’s death, the property has come into my father’s hands through an unregistered will that my grandfather had made. Khata is in the name of my father and tax paid receipts are upto date. We have also filed an FIR and published a notice in a newspaper mentioning that property title deeds have been lost/misplaced.
Based on this documentation can we sell the property? We tried the sub-registrar’s office in gandhinagar and also filed an RTI with BDA (earlier CITB which had auctioned the said site), but we drew a blank.
Some lawyers are saying that without title deed also sale can be made since long residence at the same place is tantamount to establishment of ownership.
please suggest the correct course of action
Dear Sir,
If you have the details of the property(registration number/date/sr office) etc, you can search/obtain a certified copy of the sale deed,if available. That is sufficient with all the actions you have already taken regarding the loss of the title deed. It is too risky to buy any property without proper title deed based on only police complaint and possession.

Sir, My khatha transfer i.r.o property no 4356/8, 3rd cross Subramanyanagar Rajajinagar II stage Bangalore 560021 is not yet over despite BBMP ARO Malleshwaram no 1487/2005 since 6 years. The file at BDA for want of reconveyance deed and a PC is pending at BDA since 25-07-2011 i.e since 9 months. Mean while the improvement charges at Rs 50 per sq yard you are mentioning is not accepted by ARO. Even CM Karnataka could not help despite so many emails to him except forwarding the emails to BDA. Is the refusal of improvement charges by ARO Malleshwaram in order? what is the latest position ? I want somebody to help
