Land is A khata. BBMP has given approval for 3 floors. I have purchased flat in 3rd floor only. But the builder has constructed 4th floor also. What will be the status of building ?

Hi Manoj, The flat have to have A Khata. B khata properties are those comes under the irregular list of BBMP. Find out the reason for not issuing A khata for the property. Bank's approval cannot be considered as a proof for title

B Khata properties are unauthorized constructions in the city built on lands without valid approvals and sanctions. B Khata is not considered as a valid Khata extract.

Hi Chandramohan, If at all you have a B Khata property than you should ask the builder to give other documents such as the title deed and all other paperwork that points to the fact that they have constructed property on non-agricultural land and with no violation of building norms and with enough space for road widening.

Yes the Khata status has a tremendous effect on the return of investment under the scheme of the residential plotted development scheme. A DC conversion is mandatory and the entire layout must be approved by the BMRDA. Secondly, the plot must be registered under the Khata status of BBMP. If your plots meet the above two criteria, you can expect a healthy annual return of investment.

What should I do if I am having a B Khata property?

Recently, The Karnataka High Court made it compulsory that the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) cannot award 'B Khata' certificates to buildings and properties. In other words, if a property does not have an A Khata, it is illegal as per the Karnataka High Court. So better convert your property to A Khata property.

to buy a A khata flat with atleast 1200 to 1300 sq ft is very costly when compared to the b khata flats but have equal facilities for both.... When on enquiry everybody is telling no demolishment will be there and everything will come through betterment charges only.... is this correct. everyone is happy here only i am worrying so much.... after reading a lot regarding the b khata my mind was boggling with more questions.... and here in my appartment the owners are not worrying just they are telling we will pay the betterment charges then we will get A khata and the price of the flats will be increased....

B-Khata is not equivalent to A-Khata. So, B-Khata has its demerits such as resale value will be always on lower side in case of a B-Khata property and some banks won't accept B-Khata properties for loan purposes.
1) before purchase of any property contact a local lawyer,
2) obtain title clearance certificate that title is clear and marketable and free from encumbrances,
3) check whether building plans have been sanctioned by muncipal corporation,
4) ask for inspection of building commencement certificate.

So the solution is to avoid purchasing B-Khata properties and prefer A-Khata to have comfortable position in dealing future financial transaction difficulties.
It is not safe to buy this property as builder cannot give OC to you.
Better avoid buying this property.
Mostly such building are demolished.

By paying betterment charges you can convert B-Khata to A-Khata. But you will face lot of difficulties, few of them are as below.
1) You should have DC converted property
2) Tax must be paid till date
3) Betterment charges for the conversion property need to paid to BBMP.

The word B-Khata indicates that a particular person has paid the property tax for a revenue land but it does not entitle the person to the absolute owner of the land. He can not sell his peoperty posing as the property owner without undergoing the proper registration and documentation procedures.

There is no mention of the word B-Khata in the KMC Act of 1976 and it is a false name for the B-Register which the BBMP maintains separately to record the details of property tax collected from unauthorized commercial or residential plots and these revenue lands are converted by the deputy commissioner for providing civic facilities and entered them into this B-Register.

But do you know? Gramathana / Panchayat is not a Town Planning Authority. Layout plan approved by Gramathana is therefore unauthorised. Under the provisions of section 47 (1) (a) of the Karnataka Town & Country Planning Act, 1961, the concerned Planning Authority is inherent with powers to remove, pull down or alter any building in its area of jurisdiction for not complying with the above provisions of law.

Approval of Layout Plan: under the provisions of section 14-B of the Karnataka Town & Country Planning Act, 1961, the development rights of the area/land (in which the site is situated) should be authorised for purpose of residential use by the jurisdictional Town Planning Authority. To make sure this, the Plan of the Layout formed by private developers should be approved by the Jurisdictional Town Planning authority.

"B" KHATA refers to the following types of Land/building: a) where the Layout plan is not approved by Town Planning Authority but approval is obtained from Gramathana/Panchayat, b) where the Conversion order has not been obtained from the Deputy Commissioner and c) The Land/site is not situated in the Residential Zone of the Development Plan. The Municipal Tax in respect such property is collected by BBMP and recorded in "B" Register maintained in the concerned Municipal Ward and the "Khata" or account in respect of the Land/building is referred to as "B" Khata.
