3) if you are receiving property taxes bill in your name it would imply that khata is registered in your name

4)you can apply for Khata through online module.

Visit http://bbmp.gov.in/khata

the following documents are required registration application, Possession certificate,Sale deed, Latest Encumbrance Certificate (EC) reflecting the current owner name and Demand Draft (DD) for khatha registration and property tax

the only way to know if the katha has already been transferred into your name would be to apply for a certificate, the other would be the name reflecting in the tax paid receipt issued by B.B.M.P.

If you have not sought for the transfer or registration, probably the builder must have gotten it done and you must have paid the Katha transfer fee at the time of registration of the property.

Apply and get the certificate from the BBMP office it is a very simple procedure, total cost would be Rs.125/-.

If the tax paid receipt bears your name, then there is every possibility the Katha must have been registered in your name.

1. It does not meant the Khata is registered in your name.

2. You have to separately apply for A-Khata registration.

3. So you can apply for the same from BBMP in due compliance of formalities.

4. You can send a RTI application to BBMP to know if you have A-Khata in your name or not.

Mere getting a registered sale deed on your name and paying taxes on your name shall not automatically enable you to procure khatha.

You have to apply for khatha on your name from the existing owner's name by attaching the copies of the sale deed and tax receipts.

I want to know, how to be sure that I already have the Khata in my name?

Until you apply for khatha in your name, the khatha shall not be transferred to your name automatically.
