Big relief for Bengaluru homeowners! The long-standing B Khata issue just got a major update. B Khata properties registered before September 30, 2024, will now be considered ‘A Khata’, bringing relief to lakhs of property owners across the city. Announced by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, this move will make it easier for citizens to avail loans, get official approvals, and enjoy full legal ownership benefits. The announcement is also expected to support digital E-Khata records and improve property record transparency across Bengaluru.

What is B and A Khata?

B Khata: In Karnataka, a BBMP B Khata is issued for properties that do not have full legal approvals, such as deviations from building bylaws or properties built on revenue land. Owners of B Khata properties often face hurdles while applying for bank loans, water and electricity connections, and building plan approvals.

A Khata: On the other hand, an A Khata is an official document issued by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) or local municipal body that certifies a property as fully legal and tax-compliant. This document is mandatory for selling a property, getting building approvals, and availing loans.

Key Benefits of B Khata to A Khata Conversion

The announcement to convert eligible B Khata properties to A Khata comes as part of the government's broader push for urban regularisation, civic infrastructure upgrades, and ease of doing business for citizens. Below are the key benefits of this conversion:

Owners of B Khata properties will now be recognised as legal holders with full civic rights.
A Khata status will make it easier for property owners to secure loans from banks.
With properties being regularised, the BBMP is expected to receive higher property tax collections.
A Khata properties have clearer ownership records, which reduces litigation and real estate disputes.

Eligibility and Cut-Off Dates 2025

Eligible B Khata properties registered before September 30, 2024, will be considered for A Khata under the latest government announcement, subject to applicable BBMP/GBA guidelines, verification and implementation procedures.

The Karnataka government has not yet released detailed guidelines on documentation or verification steps. While the full details haven’t been shared yet, officials have said that property owners may need to clear any pending property tax before their B Khata is officially changed to A Khata through Khata transfer.

How does this affect E-Khata?

Once eligible properties complete the A Khata process, owners should update their digital E-Khata records through the BBMP/GBA e-Aasthi system. Updated E-Khata records help with property tax management, municipal verification and future property transactions.

What Should B-Khata Property Owners Do?

Here’s what Karnataka B Khata property owners should do:

Check whether your property falls under the announced eligibility.
Keep property tax payments updated.
Monitor official BBMP/GBA notifications for implementation.
Keep sale deed, identity proof and property documents ready.
Update E-Khata after completion, if applicable.

Latest Update (2026)

Following the government's announcement, BBMP and the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) have expanded digital property services through the e-Aasthi portal. Eligible property owners can now use online services to verify property records, track applications using ePID and access digital E-Khata services. Detailed operational guidelines may continue to be updated by the government from time to time.

Summary

Karnataka’s decision to allow B Khata to A Khata conversion is a big step towards inclusive urban development. By ending the gap between A Khata and B Khata properties, the government is working on simplifying property regularisation. The announcement supports digital property records, improved transparency and faster municipal services. Property owners should continue following official BBMP/GBA updates regarding implementation and documentation.
