What is E-Khata?

Starting October 1, 2024, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has made eKhata a compulsory requirement for property registration and title transfers. eKhata is the digital version of the traditional Khata and applies to both A and B category properties. It includes all the standard details present in a Khata Certificate and Extract, along with additional key information such as:

• Photograph of the property owner(s)
• Photograph of the property
• Geographical coordinates
• Floor-wise area
• Sale deed document number

Each eKhata document features a barcode that helps verify authenticity and prevent fraudulent property transactions.

If a draft eKhata for your property is already available, you can convert your Khata to eKhata via the official BBMP eAasthi portal:
