In recent years, the demand for a clear and efficient system for property documentation has significantly increased. With Bengaluru's rapid growth, property transactions need to be smooth and accessible. In response, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has introduced the e-Khata system. This digital platform allows citizens to easily view, download, and manage their property documentation. This guide aims to provide a thorough understanding of the BBMP e-Khata system, detailing how to obtain both Draft eKhata and Final eKhata, along with the necessary steps involved.
What is e-Khata?
e-Khata is a digital document that confirms properties registered with the BBMP. It serves as essential proof of ownership and helps establish legal title. The digitization effort includes creating a property tax register, streamlining property transfers and enabling quicker access to necessary clearances.
For instance, in 2022, the BBMP reported a 30% increase in property transactions attributed to the smooth management processes introduced by the e-Khata system. Furthermore, the system enhances revenue collection through updated tax records, making it easier for homeowners and buyers to access detailed information regarding their properties.
Importance of Draft eKhata and Final eKhata
Understanding the difference between Draft eKhata and Final eKhata is crucial:
Draft eKhata: This preliminary document is generated from the existing BBMP Property Tax Register. It provides an initial overview of your property information. For example, if you have a property in Koramangala, the Draft eKhata will outline basic details such as property dimensions and tax assessments. This version is vital if you wish to cross-check the accuracy before finalizing your e-Khata.
Final eKhata: This is the final document issued after verifying all essential details. It’s crucial for transactions like property sales or resolving any ownership queries. Without a Final eKhata, you may face challenges when proving ownership to potential buyers or banks.
How to Obtain Draft eKhata
Obtaining your Draft eKhata is a simple process if you follow these steps:
Login: Start by going to the BBMP e-Khata portal with your mobile number to receive an OTP for verification.
Search for Property: If you know your ward number, navigate directly to find your Draft eKhata. For example, Ward number 130 corresponds to areas like Jayanagar.
Download: After finding your property, you can view and download the Draft eKhata for your records.
If the property is not listed, do not worry. The BBMP is actively digitizing over 100,000 properties, so visiting later could yield results.
How to Get Final eKhata
After ensuring your Draft eKhata is correct, follow these steps to obtain the Final eKhata:
Login: Access the BBMP e-Khata portal with your mobile number and OTP.
Registered Deed
eKYC based on Aadhaar
SAS Property Tax Application Number
Property Photo
A-Khata documents to validate property status
Encumbrance Certificate (needed if you're selling or transferring property soon)
Required Documents: Prepare the necessary documentation, which may include:
Submission: Upload the required documents for verification.
Objection Filing: If issues arise, you can file an objection with valid reasons.
Key Considerations Before Applying
When preparing to apply for your Final eKhata, keep these essential factors in mind:
Accuracy of Information: Provide accurate personal and property details in your Draft eKhata. Inaccuracies could lead to processing delays.
Document Preparation: Organizing your documents can save significant time and reduce back-and-forth with BBMP staff.
Objections: Be ready to explain your concerns if you intend to file an objection regarding your Final eKhata.
