Builder

In Bangalore, the responsibility for paying the khata bifurcation charges can vary depending on various factors such as the builder's policy, local regulations, and the terms and conditions mentioned in the sales agreement. Generally, the khata bifurcation charges are associated with the process of dividing or separating the khata (property assessment account) for individual units within a larger development.

Here are a few possibilities regarding who typically pays for khata bifurcation charges:

Builder's responsibility: Some builders may include the khata bifurcation charges as part of their development costs and take care of the expenses themselves. This means that the builder would bear the cost, and it should not be passed on to the flat owners.

Flat owners' responsibility: In some cases, the builders may expect the flat owners to pay for the khata bifurcation charges as part of the individual property registration process. This could be mentioned explicitly in the sales agreement or conveyed to the buyers separately.

Negotiation: If there is no clear mention of khata bifurcation charges in the sales agreement or pricing documents, you could negotiate with the builder to clarify who is responsible for these charges. Review the terms and conditions of the sales agreement and consult with fellow flat owners to understand their understanding of the situation. If necessary, seek legal advice to determine your rights and obligations.

As per law, the buyer has to pay the khata bifurcation fee to get the khata for his flat on his name.

It is something like the buyer paying the stamp duty and the registration charges on purchase of flat.
