Khata Services

Overview

Khata is the property record maintained by GBA (Greater Bengaluru Authority, previously BBMP) that shows who is liable to pay property tax. E-Khata is its digital version, and it is now mandatory for property registration, loans, building plan approval and utility connections. We handle the entire E-Khata journey for you — eligibility check, document preparation, online application, Aadhaar eKYC, GPS capture, follow-up with the ward office and final download of your E-Khata certificate.

What's included

Types of Khata work we handle

Pick the one that matches your property — we will confirm it after a quick document check.

1. 1Manual Khata to E-Khata — you already hold a paper Khata and need the digital version.
2. 2B Khata to A Khata conversion — regularising the property so it becomes fully bankable and sellable.
3. 3New Khata application — for owners who have no Khata at all, with or without tax paid history.
4. 4Khata transfer / mutation — moving the Khata into the current owner's name after sale, gift, partition or inheritance.
5. 5Bifurcation & amalgamation — splitting one Khata into parts or merging adjoining properties.
6. 6Corrections & re-issue — fixing name, extent, address or measurement errors in the record.

How the E-Khata process works

Five simple stages — you only need to share documents and approve the Aadhaar OTP.

1. 1Document check — we verify your title deed, existing Khata and tax receipts and tell you exactly what is missing.
2. 2Application — we file the E-Khata application on the GBA portal with your property details.
3. 3Aadhaar eKYC — an OTP is sent to the mobile number linked to the owner's Aadhaar for verification.
4. 4Property capture & upload — property photo, GPS location (latitude and longitude) and supporting documents are uploaded.
5. 5Approval & download — the ward office verifies and approves; we hand over the final E-Khata certificate (Form A or Form B).

When is an EC (Encumbrance Certificate) madatory while apply for E khata?

EC is optional for most straightforward cases. You will need it in these situations:

1. 1The previous Khata or tax paid receipt is not in the current owner's name.
2. 2You are applying to move from Form B to Form A (B to A Khata) — for land or building only.
3. 3You want to sell the property immediately, or plan to sell it within 3 months.
4. 4You want to cancel a Loan / MODT / RMODT entry at the Sub-Registrar office.
