Bengaluru: Both 'A' & 'B' khata properties eligible for e-khata, says BBMP

Bengaluru: Bengaluru's civic body says e-khata will be issued to both 'A' and 'B' khata properties. 

The BBMP has published draft e-khata documents of 21 lakh properties on its website. 

It also says documents such as Aadhaar, registered deeds and encumbrance certificate (ECs) were sought from the citizens to curb fraudulent property registrations. 

BBMP Special Commissioner Munish Moudgil issued the clarification after citizens expressed concerns over the recent launch of faceless, contactless and online e-khata issuance system. 

"We have already published more than 21 lakh e-khatas available online. They can be downloaded anytime and anywhere. Both 'A' and 'B' khata drafts are available," Moudgil said. 

To get the final e-khata, property owners are required to provide electronic IDs of some documents such as sale or registered deeds, Aadhaar eKYC, Bescom 10-digit number, GPS and photographs of the property and EC.

"Once the above details are fed electronically, the software will verify all documents and automatically issue the final e-khata," the official explained. 

If the entered information is incomplete or mismatches with the BBMP records or there is objection filed by someone, citizens can meet the jurisdictional assistant revenue officer (ARO). 

Moudgil added that helpdesks have been set up in each zonal office, and anyone can call 1533 to raise concerns.
