What is e-Khata?

E-Khata is an electronic version of the traditional Khata, which is a crucial property ownership document in Karnataka. Issued by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) for urban properties and managed by Gram Panchayats for rural areas through the E-Aasthi platform, it includes the property owner's name, property size, location, usage type, and applicable tax details.

The 'e' in e-Khata stands for 'electronic' — indicating that this is the official digital version of the document. It is used across both urban and rural Karnataka and helps maintain a centralised, transparent database of property information. Without a valid Khata, you cannot register a property sale, transfer ownership, or apply for a home loan on a Karnataka property.

Frequently Asked Questions

About e-Khata

Is e-Khata available for properties outside Karnataka?

No. The e-Khata system is specific to Karnataka, managed by BBMP for urban properties in Bengaluru and by Gram Panchayats for rural areas through the E-Aasthi portal. Other states have their own property record systems — such as Patta in Tamil Nadu, Khewat/Jamabandi in Punjab and Haryana, and RoR (Record of Rights) in most other states.

What is the difference between Khata A and Khata B in Karnataka?

Khata A is issued for properties that are legally approved — properties with all required approvals, registered with BBMP, and eligible for building plan sanctions and trade licences. Khata B is a revenue register entry for properties that do not yet have full BBMP approval — such as revenue sites or properties in areas recently brought under BBMP limits. Khata B is not suitable for home loan applications. You must convert to Khata A before applying for a loan.

Can you apply for a home loan using e-Khata as the only ownership document?

No. e-Khata is one of several documents required for a home loan — it confirms municipal registration and ownership. Lenders also require the sale deed (title document), encumbrance certificate, approved building plan, and occupancy certificate depending on the property type. Always check the complete document checklist with your lender before applying.

How long does it take to receive an e-Khata after applying?

The timeline depends on whether the application is for a new Khata or a name transfer after a property purchase. New applications with a physical inspection requirement may take 30 to 60 days. Straightforward cases where documents are complete and no inspection is needed may be processed within 15 to 20 days. Check the portal status periodically for updates.
