What is Panchayat Khata in Bangalore?

A Panchayat Khata is also known as Gram Panchayat Khata. It is a land record certificate maintained by the local rural governing body, the gram panchayat, rather than by a city municipality like the BBMP. 

• It applies to properties situated in village or revenue-council areas that fall under the jurisdiction of a gram panchayat.

• The khata document records key details such as the property owner’s name, built-up area, land dimensions, usage (residential, agricultural, etc.), and assessed tax liability.

• For plots or buildings in rural zones (that haven’t been absorbed into municipal boundaries), the gram panchayat is the authority that maintains these land and tax records.

• Recently, Karnataka extended E-Khata issuance to rural panchayat areas under a revised act. This helps bring “unauthorised” rural properties under formal tax record systems.

Like in urban areas, when ownership changes (via sale, inheritance, or gift), the panchayat khata has to be transferred to the new owner. This involves submitting key documents, including the title deed, tax receipts, and khata extract from the panchayat. This is what is panchayat khata in Bangalore.

A Panchayat Khata means a document that contains all the details of a particular property like its size, location, area, type, and more. It is a legal document that is required for property registration, buying, or selling in Bangalore. It is issued by the Gram Panchayat, which is a local civic body authorized to collect property taxes.

It is important to note that a Panchayat Khata is different from an E-Khata. An E-Khata is an electronic version of the Khata certificate that allows you to pay your property taxes offline as well as online.

The property certificate can be downloaded online. Panchayat or village e-khata certificates can also be digitally verified, eliminating the requirement for handwritten documents. To obtain a detailed explanation of the process, refer to the response provided above. I hope you got an idea of panchayat khata meaning.

A Khata is a document that has all the details of a particular property like its size, location, area, type and more. So the gram panchayat khata in Bangalore is also the same. It contains all the information about the property located in a particular gram panchayat. Without the khata, no property can get registered, bought or sold legally.
