How to Get Khata for Revenue Sites?

Hi, Rajeevan8! Yes, you can get Khata and building plan clearance for a revenue site, but simply purchasing the site does not qualify it for construction. The land often requires adequate DC conversion and layout or site approval from the applicable planning authority. So, before you buy a revenue site khata, be sure the property can be legally changed and approved.

What Should You Check Before Revenue Site Conversion?

• DC conversion: Determine whether the agricultural land has been formally converted to non-agricultural use.
• Layout approval: Verify whether the layout has received approval from the appropriate planning authority.
• Khata: An existing B-Khata primarily registers the property for taxation. It does not prove that the site has been approved for construction.
• e-Khata: Do not believe that receiving an e-Khata immediately converts a B-Khata property into an approved A-Khata property.
• Property documents: Verify the sale deed, RTC, encumbrance certificate, survey details, and conversion documents.
• Building permission: Clarify with the local authority whether a building proposal is allowed for that specific location.

Can I Regularise the Revenue Site Later in Bengaluru?

Sometimes, but there is no certainty. You must get land conversion and planning approvals along with potential betterment fees and penalties. Government regularisation plans exist. However, they depend on present rules and cut-off dates. Thus, it is not safe to assume that a future scheme will legalise income site purchases. Overall, a revenue site is often agricultural land that does not have the required conversion or layout approval. Purchasing such land without checking these documents can cause difficulties in getting A-Khata or construction permissions.

If I buy a revenue site, will I ever be able to get a Khata or building plan approval for it?

Here’s how to get khata for revenue sites;

1. Prepare these before applying online or offline: Title deed / Registered sale deed, Tax paid receipts / proof of property tax payment, Encumbrance Certificate (EC), Title deed flow chart and property layout sketch, Betterment charges proof (if applicable), Non-agricultural conversion or other approvals (if required), Any existing B-Khata / revenue records

2. Visit the BBMP e-Khata portal (e.g.

   https://bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in/

   /BtoAKhata or e-Khata service section). Fill the application form with property and owner details. Upload scanned documents as required.

3. Pay fees (processing fee/ betterment charges). After submission, BBMP does verification and inspection. Once approved, the A-Khata / e-Khata certificate is issued.

4. If your revenue site currently has a B-Khata or is unauthorised, you may need to pay betterment charges, get layout approval, convert agricultural land uses, or apply under a regularisation scheme before BBMP issues an A-Khata.

5. Getting a Khata for a revenue site (land/plot) means having your property registered in the municipal property tax records so you can pay taxes, get utilities, and complete legal transactions like sale, loan or building approvals.

6. In Karnataka (especially under Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike – BBMP), this involves e-Khata or A-Khata, depending on approval and status of the land.

7. A Khata is a municipal record that shows your property is in the tax register and linked to your name as the owner or assessed person. Without it, you cannot get building permissions, bank loans, utilities or register the property sale easily.

8. Revenue sites (converted land, non-BBMP plots, etc.) must first be recognised legally and be eligible for Khata listing. Properties without proper layout approval or non-agricultural conversion may not be issued a standard Khata until regularisation steps are completed.

You can obtain Khata for a revenue site, but you must ensure proper approvals, documents, taxes and municipal requirements are met, then apply online through BBMP’s e-Khata system and comply with verification steps.
