The status of land as ‘A’ or ‘B’ Khata in Bangalore is a burning issue for many property buyers. With many of them not knowing the implications of Khata, its significance and other legalities related to it.
Properties falling under all areas which were previously under the Gram Panchayat jurisdiction and later came under the jurisdiction of Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), were given a property identification number, post the payment of all due taxes and registered in a ‘B register’. Such properties are called ‘B’ Khata properties. After the payment of betterment charges to BBMP, ‘B’ Khata properties need to get enrolled as ‘A’ Khata properties. For this, these properties should have DC conversion and tax receipts.
Can you transfer Khata to your name?
Yes, it is possible to transfer Khata to your name. In order to get this done, one has to go to the BBMP office and apply for Khata transfer with the required set of documents.
“For transfer and change of name in Khata, the owner of the property has to give a letter of requisition along with the title deed and the latest tax receipts to the Assistant Officer of the sub-division or range. The application for Khata transfer is the same as that for registration.
