Is it advisable to purchase this property? Since I'm not sure when the khata transfer for all the individual flats will be complete, till then it would not be possible to transfer khata in my name.

There is no guarantee that the vendor will help you obtain khata in your name after purchase process is completed. You may have to run behind him umpteen number of times, hence you can ask him to get the khata on his name and then execute the registered sale deed in your favor.

 Is it possible to do khata transfer after registering the property in my name? Because previous khata will be in seller's mother name but other documents (ilk Title deed, EC) are in seller's name.

Since the mother has transferred the property to her son by a registered gift deed, the son becomes the absolute owner of the property hence this transaction has to be reflected in the khata, for that the khata to be transferred to vendor's name first and then it can be transferred to your name, therefore first ensure the khata is on the name of the vendor before he executes a registered sale deed in your favor.

If I register the property in my name now, once the katha bifurcation happens for the entire apartment in future. Can the khata be transferred to my name only after transferring to current seller's name? or Can it be transferred directly from current khata owner (i.e. land owner)? If so, what are the documents needed for khata transfer?

The khata cannot be transferred to your name directly from the land owner, it has to be transferred to the current owner and then to you subsequently.
Khata is nothing but the details of trransactions on the property, a record maintained by the competent authority which is a vital document for all future transactions with regard to the property.
Therefore you have to be cautious about it.

1. It will first be transferred in the name of the next owner as per the application filed for khata transfer.

2. You shall have to file the said application subsequently to make the transfer in your name.
