The Karnataka Government has laid special emphasis in the process of computerizing land records. Among others, a person filing khata is entitled to obtain receipts when required, with the help of the PID (Property Identification) number. updated khata certificates along with extracts can easily be derived from the BBMP kiosks.

Yes it is possible to transfer Khata from owners name to your name. For change in name and transfer in Khata, The owner of the property have to give the Assistant Officer of the sub-division or range a letter of requisition along with the title deed and the latest tax receipt. The application for Khata transfer is the same as that for registration.

As far as I know A Khata has got more value and is eligible for bank loans where as B Khata will not be eligible for obtaining any kind of bank loans as it will have lessor value. Recently the Karnataka Government has announced the Akrama and Sakrama Schemes in which all the B Khatas issued by BBMP will be regularized by collecting some penalty. Once these properties are regularized the value of those properties will increase automatically.

B Khatha can be converted in to A Khatha. Here are the requirements for converting a B Khatha to an A Khatha: (a) You should have DC converted property, (b) Property tax must be paid till date and (c) Betterment charges for the conversion property to be paid to BBMP

It is advisable to go for properties having A Khatha as in case of B Khatha you are not entailed to have building license, trade licence or loan from banks or any other financial transactions. B Khata is a temporary measure which will allow you to buy or sell a site, but you will face problems when you go for construction.

I am selling my flat in an apartment in Whitefield. I learnt from the builder that he hasnt got the khata bifurcated for individual flats. I have already paid the property tax for the last+current year and have the receipt in my name. I asked someone and they told me that since the bifurcation is not done, I will only get B Khata. Is this true? What do I have to do to get A Khata? Is not having bifurcation such a big issue despite me paying the tax and also registering the property,

A khata is the genuine khataas manu people are cheated by the developers to buy illegal sites, while B khata is B register for just collection of taxes is for illegal site entry. May be your plot is enter into B register because of many reason. Now the problem is that you cannot be sale the site, cannot get bank loan. You will not get house loan approved and you cannot convert it to legal A khata.
