Bengaluru: No building plan approval or building commencement certificate (CC) will be available from July 1 for sites under BBMP jurisdiction if they do not have e-khata.

The e-khata system for digitization along with re-verification of site documents was implemented in the BBMP jurisdiction in September 2024. Although draft e-khatas have been prepared for 25 lakh sites, about 5 lakh final e-khatas have been issued so far.

All owners of sites and buildings under BBMP jurisdiction must obtain e-khata. Although no deadline has been given for obtaining e-khata, lakhs of owners have not yet obtained the draft e-khata. Lakhs more owners have not submitted documents to obtain final e-khata.

As a first step, e-khata is being made mandatory for obtaining building plan and CC. In addition, even if buildings under construction are already required to obtain an Occupancy Certificate (OC), it will be mandatory to submit an e-Khata.

As per the Supreme Court order, the BBMP has implemented rules from January to be implemented on unauthorized buildings and buildings being constructed in violation of the plan, and buildings without OC and CC cannot be provided with electricity, water, and sewerage connections.

The issuance of building maps to those with ‘manual khata’ will be stopped from July 1. Applications will have to be submitted through the ‘Nambike Karthi’ website, where a temporary building map will be available within a day. E-Khata will be mandatory while applying for a building map online. With this, there is no need to submit other documents related to the property. Since property tax, purchase deed, location of the property (latitude, longitude), owner’s photo, Aadhaar are all entered in the e-Khata itself, all these documents will be available online. Only the documents related to the map will have to be submitted, informed the BBMP Urban Planning Department officials. 

The temporary plan , which is created in a day under the ‘Nambike Nakahe’ system, must be confirmed by the concerned Town plan assistant director within the time limit. If it is not rejected with reasons, the building plan will be automatically approved in the software. The Chief Commissioner has directed the Joint Director of Town Planning to take disciplinary action against the officers responsible for Auto-approval. 


‘E-Khata: The process is easy’

‘Property owners can easily obtain e-Khata through BBMP’s website BBMPeAasthi.karnataka.gov.in. Instead of paying extra money to brokers and getting cheated, they can also obtain e-Khata online, Bangalore One, and from Jansevaks,’ said Munish Moudgil, Special Commissioner, Revenue Department, BBMP.

‘To obtain e-Khata, Aadhaar, purchase order number, property tax payment number, BESCOM account number, and property images should be submitted in the application. The final e-Khata will be available within a couple of days of submitting the documents. About three thousand applications are received every day, and three thousand e-khatas are being issued every day, he said.

If the owner calls the website https://janasevaka.karnataka.gov.in/ and 080-49203888, the ‘janasevakas’ will apply for the e-khata and upload the documents from the doorstep. A fee of ₹45 will be charged for the e-khata application, ₹5 for each page scanned and uploaded, and ₹115 for the door-to-door service of the Janasevaka. If the number of pages of documents increases, ₹5 will be added for each page.

On the instructions of Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, who said that ‘all the plots in the city should get Khatas and come under the tax jurisdiction’, the BBMP has implemented a system to get new Khatas from January to bring all the properties under the tax jurisdiction. The application can be submitted on the website https://BBMP.karnataka.gov.in/NewKhata. 

‘More than five lakh property owners in the city do not have any BBMP account. About 3,900 new accounts have been distributed. 19,777 applications are pending in the login of revenue officers. About two thousand applications are pending with case workers. A lot of documents have to be verified to issue a new account. Although there is a time of 60 days to complete the process, the Revenue Officers (ROs) have been instructed to complete it quickly,’ said Munish Moudgil, Special Commissioner, Revenue Department, BBMP.
