A New Initiative for Property Owners in Bengaluru
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has launched a revolutionary online module to facilitate the issuance of new Khatas. This system is designed specifically for property owners who do not currently possess a BBMP Khata, whether manual or electronic (eKhata). If you already have a Khata and require an electronic version, you must apply through BBMP Portal. This initiative ensures a streamlined and transparent process for obtaining new Khatas while upholding strict guidelines to prevent fraud and duplication.
Key Highlights of the New Khata System
1. Who Can Apply?
This platform is only for new Khata applications. It caters to individuals who:
Do not currently have a manual or eKhata for their property.
Have properties that fall under the jurisdiction of BBMP and lack prior Khata documentation.
Important: Applicants found attempting to duplicate an existing Khata will face rejection and legal action.
2. Step-by-Step Application Process
Property Details:
Select your property type (Plot with building/shed, multi-storey flat, or vacant land).
Use the online map to identify your property accurately. Provide additional details like door/plot number, nearest landmark, and locality.
Document Upload:

For individual plots, the photo shows the front elevation.
For flats, the tower/building photo is taken from the outside.
Registered Deed and EC Verification:

Provide Encumbrance Certificate (EC) details, ensuring the EC is valid from at least one day before the registered deed date until 31st October 2024 or later.

3. Mandatory Documentation
Applicants must be prepared with the following:
Aadhaar card of the property owner.
Registered deed copy.
Property photographs.
