Guide
In Bangalore, BBMP plays an important role when one buys, sells, or moves into a property. This guide focuses on BBMP khata transfer and the steps for both online and offline methods.
- BBMP stands for Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike. It is a government body accountable for the city’s infrastructure. It was formed in 2007 by combining councils into one administration. It deals with urban planning and the construction and maintenance of roads and public spaces.
Khata is a legal document against the ownership of a property. It contains all the important information related to the property. Khata transfer is the process of transferring property ownership from one person to another, according to official government records.
Types of Khata
- 1. Khata A: It is the certificate that is given to the property, which has all the approvals from the respected authorities. It has also followed all the bye rules and taxation policies as well. This certificate ensures the smooth obtainment of home loans, building plans and occupation certificates from respected authorities.It provides a Khata Certificate and Khata Extract. The khata certificate is the document issued as proof that the property tax records are in the name of the owner and khata extract includes all the details of the property as well as the owner.
- 2. Khata B: It is the certificate issued to properties that are not considered completely legal and lack the authority to be purely legal. There can be pending tax payments. Certain clearances from some BBMP decide whether a property has to be given a Khata A or Khata B. No certificate will be issued; only an extract will be issued, and no PID will be allotted.
- E Khata: It is a digital version of A Khata. It is a digital document which is kept in the online storage and can be shared easily. It assists in the same manner as A khata would do. It provides a convenient way to access and verify online easily.E khata and A khata are both genuine documents and are accepted in the transaction of the estate. E khata has a boon in that it is simpler to acquire and manage easily. The eligibility criteria for E khata is to have a valid A khata and the property also needs to have a property identification number. The properties that cannot have an E khata are the ones that have a B Khata.
- 4. BDA Khata: Stands for Bangalore Development Authority Khata. This is typically used for properties within Bangalore city limits that fall under the jurisdiction of the BDA.
- 5. CMC/TMC Khata: These refer to Khata registrations done by City Municipal Corporations (CMC) or Town Municipal Councils (TMC). They are prevalent in urban areas outside of Bangalore and signify properties registered with the respective municipal authorities.
- 6. Gram Panchayat Khata: The Gram Panchayat owns land within its jurisdiction, including villages, towns, and agricultural land. When transferring ownership, khata charges must be paid, similar to the process of converting a B khata to an A khata. To purchase land owned by the Gram Panchayat, an E-khata is required as proof that the land has been converted.It is essential to prioritize transferring the Gram Panchayat khata first. For this transfer, you need all relevant documents, including an order indicating the conversion of the land from agricultural to non-agricultural use and a khata extract issued by the panchayat. The charges for transferring khata and converting agricultural land into residential land typically amount to about 6% of the registration fees.
- 7. E-Swaths: This is a relatively new concept and refers to the digitization of land records. E-Swaths essentially represent the electronic version of a Khata, making property records more accessible and transparent.E-Swaths is integrated with the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) system, ensuring that all records are synchronized and up-to-date. This integration helps in maintaining consistency and accuracy in land records.
- The Government of Karnataka has made this process of khata transfer an essential requisite in the real estate world. The new owner shall not be able to pay the property tax unless and until the khata transfer has been made to the new owner. When the khata is being transferred, all the information related to the property is provided.This information includes the new owner’s name, khata transfer, property identification number, the extent and use of the property, its valuation, and tax assessment. It is kept as an official record with government authorities.For the khata transfer, the municipality issues a Khata Certificate declaring that the property’s tax records are in the owner’s name. This certificate is proof of ownership and provides a right to it.
- For properties in urban areas, the city and town municipal corporations are responsible for the khata transfer and all related processes, such as registration, bifurcation, and taxes.
- For properties in rural areas, the panchayat of that area is also responsible for khata transfer and all related processes.
