Verification Process for an e-Khata

When you submit your application, it is automatically verified on the e-Aasthi website, which is linked with the Kaveri and BESCOM databases.  The website provides an option to save your application progress, allowing you to return and complete it at a later time

• Step 1: If the details match, you will receive your e-khata immediately. If there is any mismatch, your application will be forwarded to the ARO (Assistant Revenue Officer). The ARO will notify you about the mismatch and inform you of any corrections required.

• Step 2: The ARO and the caseworker will also review the applications of properties for which digitised records have not yet been verified.

• Step 3: If a property owner lacks the necessary documents, they can visit the e-khata help desk at the ARO’s office for further assistance.

• Step 4: BBMP has not set a specific deadline for citizens to apply for e-khata. As a result, most current applications are from individuals who require e-khata for property transactions.

Note: Alternative Process for NRI Applicants: On 9 October 2024 BBMP issued an e-khata to an NRI who did not possess an Aadhar card. In such cases, the application is processed using an alternative login available to caseworkers.

Stepwise Process: When You Don’t Have a Khata for Your Property

You can do the following if you dont have a khata for your property:

• Identify the property’s status – Properties may not have a BBMP khata due to being in old village records.

• Check if the property falls under the 2008 merger – Properties before 2008 remain in village records, while those after 2008 are in BBMP registers.

• Confirm tax payments – Despite being in old records, owners may still pay taxes to BBMP.

• Verify the property on e-Aasthi – Check if the property is listed; if not, further steps are needed.

• Understand the outdated records – Properties without a khata often have outdated, unreliable records.

• Follow the alternative process – Properties without khatas follow a different procedure for khata registration.

• Wait for the new module – A new module will be launched for these property owners to file applications.

• Provide necessary documents – BBMP will issue A or B khatas based on the sale deed and other submitted documents.
