The Government of Karnataka has taken a landmark decision that brings immense relief to thousands of property owners in Bengaluru. In a recent announcement by the Deputy Chief Minister, it was confirmed that all B‑Khata properties registered on or before September 30, 2024, will now be considered as A‑Khata, subject to defined conditions and approvals.
This step aims to regularise thousands of properties currently stuck in legal and civic uncertainty, enabling owners to fully enjoy their rights and access civic amenities.
✅ What’s Changing?
Under the new regulations brought in through the Greater Bengaluru Governance Act, 2024, B‑Khata properties built and registered before the cut-off date are now eligible for A‑Khata conversion, provided certain technical conditions are met. This will allow property owners to get full-fledged recognition under the BBMP, enhancing both property value and legal usability.
🏡 Who is Eligible?
The new rule applies to:
Residential buildings and flats that were issued B‑Khata before 30th September 2024
Properties that have been assessed and are in use (not vacant lands)
Owners who are willing to comply with the upcoming regularisation conditions by BBMP
Note: Vacant plots and layouts without proper land conversion or planning approvals are not eligible under this scheme.
📈 Key Benefits of A‑Khata Regularisation
Full Legal Status: Ownership becomes complete with all BBMP records reflecting the A‑Khata status.
Loan Eligibility: Banks and financial institutions now consider A‑Khata properties for loans, mortgages, and funding.
Civic Amenities Access: Property owners will be able to apply for water, electricity, drainage, and sanitation services.
Improved Market Value: Converted properties are expected to gain up to 20% in resale or rental value.
Ease in Sale and Registration: Buyers prefer A‑Khata properties due to clear title and documentation.
