What is a khata?

A Khata is essentially a revenue document, detailing the assessment of a property, recording details about the property such as size, location, built up area and so on for the purpose of payment of property tax.

It is also a kind of identification of the person who is primarily liable for payment of property tax. It is one of the required documents in case you require a building licence, trade licence or loan from banks or any other financial institutions.

What is the difference between an A Khata and B Khata?

What any property buyer should know while buying property in Bangalore is that it should have A khata.

An A khata means you are buying a property that is legal, and it will allow you to construct on it and obtain a trade or building license. Here are some further details on the difference between A Khata and B Khata.

Then how did the term B Khata come into being?

Well in 2007 when BBMP came into being 2 things were apparent:

1) There were many properties that fell under its jurisdiction that were illegal constructions

2) There was a need for an uniform taxation policy

Regarding the former the BBMP found that these illegal constructions were enjoying civic amenities without paying taxes. While regarding the latter, there was a need to consolidate the tax collection process to make it simpler which was earlier collected by 3 different bodies.

Now, the newly formed BBMP had the power to levy taxes on the aforementioned illegal constructions. The taxes collected from these properties were recorded in a register known in common parlance as B register and the khata issued therein was known as a B khata.

Thus anyone having a B khatha essentially is a non BBMP approved construction. Hence it is not advisable to buy such properties.

However, it is only fair to mention that any B khata property can be converted into an A khata property.

====================================================================================

advisable to go for properties having A Khatha as in case of B Khatha you are not entailed to have building license, trade licence or loan from banks or any other financial transactions. B Khata is a temporary measure which will allow you to buy or sell a site, but you will face problems when you go for construction.

Khatha conversion

Whenever the intervening irregularity is resolved, B Khatha can be converted in to A Khatha. Here are the requirements for converting a B Khatha to an A Khatha:

(a) You should have DC converted property

(b) Property tax must be paid till date

(c) Betterment charges for the conversion of property has to be paid to BBMP

1) if layout not approved by BBMP the construction can be termed illegal there can be penalty. There can be other legal issues and regularization has to be.sought.

2) yes the permission can be sought it requires time and you have to go through all the process and charges has to be paid and finally it's discretion BBMP based on the law.

3) Yes true that.

4) it is your money see since you will.have ownership but after paying so much you have to go through legal hassels it don't seem a quit good investment instead of builder gives it in a converted state to A khata property purchase it.

All these approvals are time consuming process.So nobody will challange your ownership the only problem will come at point of construction

Also if you make a sale deed and builder has B khata correctly mention that number only donot mention it as A khata

Hi, if the local municipal authorities are not sanctioning the building approval plan , then it is advisable not to purchase the property ..

1. Without approval what is the guarantee of the building constructed over the vacant land, the authorities may even demolish the unauthorised/unapproved constructions.

2. If there is no approval for layout then how can one get approval for construction without the layout being approved.

3. If that is the case, why did he not obtain approval from that authority which grants approval?, the builder is trying to some how push through the sales and escape from the scene when the actual problem arises a few years after construction.

4. You too want to do the same mistake and face problems in the later stage?
