What is BBMP E Khata Initiative In Bangalore?

The BBMP e Khata is an online system that allows people who own property in Bengaluru to maintain digitized property records. Property owners can view all their property details, verify ownership, pay and manage taxes, and manage documentation connected to a transfer of ownership through an online platform.

By converting manual khatas to e-Khatas, the BBMP hopes to smoothen property management processes, make systems more transparent to enhance revenue collection, and streamline property transfers. It also reduces the risk of fraud and minimizes procedural delays.

Types of Khata

Khatas refer to legal documents validating property ownership details. Property owners in Bengaluru may get either an A-Khata or B-Khata depending on the property’s legal standing.

This includes residential, industrial, commercial, and mixed-use properties. Here’s a quick look at the differences between them.

Benefits	A-Khata Properties	B-Khata Properties
Legal status	Property has been legally sanctioned, built in compliance with regulations, and has secured all necessary approvals.	The property is considered unauthorized and has not been sanctioned or approved by the BBMP.
Loan eligibility	Property owners can apply for loans against the property.	Loans cannot be taken against the property or the owner may face higher interest rates.
Sale and Transfer	Property can be easily sold and transferred from one owner to another.	Selling or transferring ownership may be more challenging.
Building Permissions	Owners can easily get permission and approvals for extensions or renovations.	Getting any kind of building permission can be very difficult.
Property taxes	The owner must pay property taxes.	Property tax is not payable.

There are several ways in which B-khata properties can be converted to A-khata properties. For this reason, many people also consider B-khatas to be temporary khatas.

In either case, the document can be digitized in the form of an e-khata.

E-khatas can also be categorized as draft e-khatas and final e-khatas.

Draft e-khatas are preliminary documents that record an initial overview of your property information. This is created so you can cross-check details and ensure accuracy before finalizing the e-khata.

The final e-khata is a permanent digital document validating property ownership. It lists all the property details and plays a crucial role when transferring property ownership or applying for loans against the property.

Who can apply for Bangalore e khata?

All property owners in Bangalore can apply for a BBMP e-khata as long as they meet the following eligibility criteria.

• The applicant may be a sole owner, joint owner, legal heir, hold the owner’s power of attorney, or represent a company owning the property.
• The applicant must be a resident of Bangalore.
• The applicant must be over the age of 18 years.
• The applicant must hold a valid bank account.

What are the documents required for Bangalore E Khata

Being prepared with the right documents makes it easy to apply for a Bangalore e-khata. The main documents required are:

• Property sale/registration deed
• SAS property tax application number/ Property tax receipt
• GPS location of the property
• Property photograph
• Encumbrance certificate
• Electricity bill with account number
• Applicant’s aadhaar card

In the case of BDA-allotted flats or sites, you should also have the following handy:

Rather than repeatedly typing in your property ID, tax numbers, aadhaar number, etc, keep them typed in a notepad from where you can quickly copy-paste the details. This minimizes the risk of typographic errors.

Bangalore BBMP e khata/ e aasthi registration

Registering your BBMP e khata is an easy online process. Once the document is registered, you can download a copy for your own records. Here’s how to go about it.

How to apply for BBMP E Khata Online?

There are 2 stages to applying for a BBMP e khata; getting a draft e khata and then your final e khata. Here’s what you need to do.

Step 1. Visit https://bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in/ and choose your preferred language from the drop-down menu on the top right.

Step 2. Enter your mobile number and click on the ‘Fetch OTP’ button. Enter the OTP as received via SMS and the captcha code to log in to your account.

Step 3. Read the instructions and click on the button to update e-khata details.

Step 4. Click on your Ward name from the list displayed. If you do not know your ward name, check your property tax receipt for the same.

Step 5. A complete list of properties in the ward will be displayed. You can search for your property through the property EPID number, owner’s name, assessment number, address, or book number. Property EPID numbers are issued only after a draft e-khata is generated so first-time site visitors may not be able to use this option.

Step 6. Once you find your property, click on the ‘DRAFT EKHATA’ button next to your name.

Step 7. Check your draft e khata. This will result in generating an EPID number. Select the ‘CLICK HERE’ button under the ‘Submit information for Final eKhata’ column.

Step 8. Check your property’s existing BBMP record data. Select the Property type and enter your 10-digit SAS property tax application number.

Step 9. Scroll down and enter your property registration number. This can be seen on your sale deed. The system will electronically retrieve all associated data.

In case the property was registered before April 1, 2004, you will need to upload a scanned copy of your property title document. The case will then be referred to the ARO.

Step 10. Select square feet or square meters for the property area and click on the ‘Proceed Next’ button.

Step 11. Click on ‘Verify e-KYC’ for the owner. You will be redirected to the Aadhaar authentication website. Here you will need to enter your Aadhaar number and an OTP received via SMS to verify your identity. You will then be redirected to the bbmpeaasthi page where you can see your e-KYC status updated to ‘Done’.

If the property is registered in the name of multiple owners, this step must be completed for each owner before proceeding to the next step. 

Step 12. Scroll down to select the location of your property on the provided map. Confirm the street address details.

Step 13: Upload a photograph of your property’s façade from the front. In the case of an apartment, upload a photograph of the tower.

Step 14. Enter the property schedule and your property dimensions. Click the ‘Save and Next’ button.

Step 15. Enter your 10-digit BESCOM account ID and click on the ‘Fetch’ button. You can also enter your BWSSB Meter number if applicable. Click on the ‘Proceed Next’ button.

Step 16. Select the appropriate property classification and upload scanned copies of supporting documents for A-Khata. This is an optional step. Click on the ‘Save’ button and the ‘Proceed Next’ button.

Step 17. Accept the declaration that you have entered accurate data and click on the ‘Verify your data’ button.
