Dear Client,
Purchasing a plot in a gated layout, especially with a CMC Khata, requires careful consideration and due diligence. The term "CMC Khata" refers to the Khata issued by the City Municipal Council (CMC). A Khata represents properties that fully comply with all building by-laws, government regulations, and tax payments. B Khata denotes properties that do not comply fully with building by-laws or regulations. These properties might face restrictions on obtaining loans or building plan approvals, and converting them to A Khata requires clearing dues, penalties, and other compliance issues. Ensure that the title is clear and marketable. Check whether the land is approved for residential use. Confirm that the layout has been approved by the relevant planning authority, such as the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA), the Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority (BMRDA), or the CMC. After registration, you may apply for conversion to A Khata once the area comes under the jurisdiction of BBMP. If the property does not comply with certain norms, it may be registered as B Khata. Converting from B Khata to A Khata will require, clearing any penalties, and meeting the compliance standards. Engage a property lawyer to assist with document verification and due diligence.
