Recently The Karnataka High Court has made it mandatory that the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) cannot award 'B Khata' certificates to properties and buildings. The High Court ascertains that these are just certifications for the eligibility of being assessed for property tax and are in themselves no way to be taken as proof of ownership or legality. In other words, if a property does not have an A Khata, it is illegal as per the Karnataka High Court. The High Court has ordered the BBMP to include all properties in the Form-A Register (A Khata). The ownership of a BBMP B Khata is not proof of ownership of your property and it means that it still has pending sanctions that have to be approved
