In Bengaluru city, there are layouts approved by the Corporation and BDA within BBMP limits. There are sites and buildings allotted by housing organizations including Karnataka Housing Corporation. Development fee and approved map documents are available for these sites and buildings. These have to be entered while obtaining e-account. E-account is being made available as they are documents of government organizations.

Since e-khata is required for property sales, loans and other property registration processes, BBMP has started separate centers in all wards to complete the e-khata process of such property owners in a day. If the property owner provides all the documents, the e-khata will be available immediately. Even if there is not a single document, the process is not over.

What is the main problem?

In Bangalore, there are lands converted from agricultural land (DC conversion), lands acquired by BDA and abandoned, converted and unconverted lands, and there are plots created on agricultural land (Revenue). There are village areas that have come under the jurisdiction of BBMP from the municipality and the city council. Since everything was manual while getting A-khata or B-khata, the accounts are available even though there are no documents. Building maps are not being provided to those who have B-khata. Therefore, when getting e-khata, when you choose building with site, you have to upload the sanctioned map. Since it is not there, everything is managed online by the software, e-Khata is not available.

Now, in apartments, an approved map needs to be uploaded even when getting an e-Khata for each unit (flat). This is not available to most flat owners. Moreover, some apartments have more floors than the approved map. Although manual Khata is available for them, all the documents need to be uploaded to get e-Khata. E-Khata is not available due to lack of documents.

How is e-Khata available?

If the owners of the plots and buildings with A-Khata in the BBMP area upload the property tax, development fee and approved maps during the process of getting e-Khata, then e-Khata will be easily available online in a single day. Even if there is no document, e-Khata will not be approved.

The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has already issued e-accounts for the plots of Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout. To get e-accounts for plots or buildings of other layouts, you can apply online at Seva Sindhu. However, not everything can be done online. After this, you can get e-accounts only after meeting BDA officials in person and submitting documents. E-accounts can also be obtained through the same process for BDA approved plots and layouts.
