Hi Armaan, Series of steps to follow for flat buyers in Bangalore to get their Khata Certificate 1) Fill out form 22 and get your Encumbrance Certificate (EC). The certificate should be valid for a minimum of one year. This can be done at a sub-registrar office and you will receive the certificate in 2-3 days. 2) You will also have to submit notarised copied of the Sale deed and Possession Certificate. If you have then Form III and GPA might be applicable but not in all cases. 3) Ensure that your property tax is paid up to date. A copy of this receipt will also need to be submitted. 4) Submit all documents together at the local ARO Office. You will get a stamped acknowledgement slip in pink with a submission number. Ensure that the officer who issues it also signs it. 5) You can check back every 15 days till you get the notification for Khata Conversion.
6) Later, you will receive a demand note which will have the details of the amount that needs to be paid. Generally it is a two percent of the sale deed value. 7) Take a DD for the amount and submit it to the ARO office and get a stamped and signed acknowledgement. 8) Check back every 15 days to see if the certificate has come through. 9) When you get the notification you will need to check for the following: a) Name spelt correctly and b) Details of property are correct. 10) With this notification you can visit the ARO office and request for the issue of Khata certificate and extract. 11) The ARO office will give you a time to come and collect the two documents.
