Until OC not obtain by builder, rare possibility that A khata will issue. You can directly apply for Khata being owner of flat.

1. To apply online you have to carry your photo ID, address proof, sale deed, latest tax paid receipt, Khata of the land on which the apartment complex is built. You can go to any Bangalore one center and get the required documents uploaded.

2. In case, you wish to go to BBMP Office personally, then obtain the prescribed application form,and fill the details and submit the same, alongwith a copy of sale deed, latest tax paid receipt, Khata of the land on which the apartment complex is built, to the jurisdictional Assistant Revenue Officer in person with the prescribed fee of Rs.125/-.

3. The builder's presence is not necessary.

Get a khata application form  plus copies of 5 documents (betterment charges receipt, building sanction letters, title certificate, sketch of layout)

3. Get copies of the following notarised: Sale deed, Form III (if you have), Possession Certificate (if you have), 

4)  Tag the application to the notarised documents, EC, latest property tax receipt, plan of the flat, along with the common documents and submit to the local ARO Office. Get the acknowledgement slip back. It should be stamped and signed with submission number.

Since Occupancy certificate is available, the authorities may not insist for completion certificate.

Hi

Yes there is requirement of completion certificate for applying khata.

Still if builder doesn't provide, file a case in consumer court. 

Thanks

- Sale Deed  is only an agreement between the seller and the buyer , and Khata is the recording of one's property in the books of the Government (BBMP) .

- Further for getting A-Khatta , OC is mandatory , and also the following documents are also required : 

  1. Current khata document (which is the existing Khata)
  2. Approved plan
  3. Notarized copy of the Sale Deed
  4. Encumbrance Certificate (for last 5 years

-  Yes, for getting A Khatta , both OC and CC required.

Khata Transfer is an important to-do to complete the set of official property documents. Khata Transfer is also important for paying the property tax and avoid incurring any fine for negligence.

Each Khata has 2 parts, Khata certificate & Khata extract.


  1. Khata Certificate: This document is obtained after registration of a new property and after registration fee is paid. The certificate specifies that a particular property is held in name of a particular person. This is issued by BBMP and is required to obtain water connection, gas connection, etc.

  2. Khata Extract: This document is also issued by BBMP and states the name of the property owner or property owners, details of property like size, built up area, etc.

The Khata certificate and the Khata extract are together called the A Khata.

You can obtain khata yourself by following the simple procedures which is given below:

Below are the property documents which must be attached along with the filled application form:

(i) Notarized Sale Deed

(ii) Paid up Betterment/Improvement Charges Receipt (collect this from the builder)

(iii) Latest paid up Property Tax Receipt (it is possible that you have been paying property tax after registration of your flat. In this case, you need two receipts (a) the latest receipt paid by you (b) the last receipt paid by the builder before registration)

(iv) Encumbrance Certificate (get this from the place where Sale Deed Registration took place)

(v) Occupancy Certificate (collect this from the builder)

(vi) Conversion Certificate (collect this from the builder)

In the Khata Transfer Reference BBMP mandates document number (i) – (iii) to be attached to the application form. However, certain panchayat offices require rest of the documents as well. It is advised that you collect all of them so as to have a complete set of your property documents.

The official Admin fee to be paid is 2% of the Stamp Duty payable by DD in favour of Commissioner, BBMP.

After the application is submitted you need to wait till a Khata Transfer Order arrives. You are informed once the order arrives, after which you need to make the payment of the property tax due and apply for the Khata Certificate and the Khata Extract.

Officially, the whole process should take 20 working days.

If the builder is delaying to procure khata yo may apply for it yourself.

CC or OC are one and the same for applying for khata

a khata extract has the details of a property (size, valuation, whether it is used for commercial or residential purpose) and is required for obtaining a trade licence.

All property owners under the BBMP jurisdiction are required to obtain a khata. While it does not necessarily confer ownership of a property, a khata enables an owner to pay his property tax.

A khata requires OC as a document to be attached by the builder. it is a mandatory rule to procure OC and occupying any flat without OC is illegal. regarding A khatha for each flat, please note that without OC it is not possible to procure an A khatha. if you plan to sell your property, in future it will be surely a problem as many buyers insist on having an OC for the flat they are purchasing
