Introduction

Managing property records in Bengaluru has long been a cumbersome process, involving paperwork, delays, and risks of fraud. To simplify and digitise this, the Karnataka government and BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) launched the e-Khata project on October 1, 2024, starting with Bengaluru.

The e-Khata brings property ownership, tax, and transaction records onto a single digital platform. It aims to:

  • End fraudulent land/flat transactions

  • Improve transparency in property dealings

  • Ensure timely property tax collection

  • Offer faster, hassle-free citizen services

What is e-Khata?

e-Khata is the digital version of a property’s Khata certificate, issued online through BBMP’s E-Aasthi system. It allows property owners to:

  • Verify ownership records

  • Pay property tax online

  • Access and download property details anytime

  • Obtain legally valid digital certificates
