BENGALURU: The 'A' Khatha of properties acquired illegally without land conversion and without payment of any fee, including revenue tax under the jurisdiction of BBMP, will be cancelled.

The Chief Commissioner of BBMP has constituted a 'Scrutiny Committee' to review and take action on all the accounts which have been converted from 'B' Khatha to 'A' Khatha in Rajarajeshwarinagar, Bommanahalli, Dasarahalli, Mahadevpur, Yalahanka, West zone.

The Bruhat Bengaluru Metropolitan Corporation has a large coverage area, including 110 villages, and has lakhs of plots in the city in revenue and unconverted areas. BBMP or BDA has already provided infrastructure like road, sewerage to the sites in such cases. There was no opportunity for their land conversion. Land does not get Khatha for unconverted plots. All these plots are likely to be regularized under the Akrama-Sakrama scheme. However, the Supreme Court given stay to that project and it is under trial. Thus, BBMP is collecting property tax by registering the plots in 'B' registrar.

BBMP has not given any announcement or plan to convert any entries in 'B' registrar into 'A' Khatha. However, in lakhs of cases 'A' Khatha has been given. All these are illegal and BBMP has decided to cancel them all.

 In the wake of the delay in the illegal-legal scheme, many people in the BBMP area were ready to get an 'A' Khatha to get more value for the properties in the 'B' registrar and to get a loan from the bank. The officials of revenue department of BBMP have given 'A' Khatha to such plots. People have given a lot of money for this. But there is no receipt for it. Property tax is being paid as applicable to 'A' Khatha only. However, this Khatha will be cancelled.

Scrutiny Committee: 

BBMP Finance Commissioner Jairam Raipur – Chairman, Special Commissioner Revenue R.L. Deepak, Special Commissioner of Administration Harish Kumar – Member, Additional Commissioner of Finance – Member Secretary.

Strict action on staff: Jayaram Raipur

Strict action will be taken against the BBMP staff who have given 'A' Khatha for the premises which should be in 'B' registrar (B Khatha) under BBMP jurisdiction. There have been a lot of complaints about the staff of the corporation taking money and making 'A' Khatha. Neither the fee to the government nor the development fee to BDA-BBMP has been paid. There is no chance for this at present. 'B' should be with the registrar. An 'A' Khatha is given to such plots. An investigation will be conducted in a month and strict action will be taken against all the staff who are responsible," said Jairam Raipur, chairman of the review committee, who is also the special commissioner of the BBMP finance department.
