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.
After the formation of the BBMP, the CMC Khata is generally considered invalid for property transactions.
City Municipal Khata (CMC) was used to give legal recognition to properties before the formation of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). After 2007, several municipalities came under BBMP's authority, leading to the introduction of different categories of Khata, including E-Khata, A Khata and B Khata.
CMC Khata registration in Bangalore is possible by changing its status to BBMP Khata.
However it is advisable that you obtain a proper legal opinion from an experienced lawyer in the local before buying the property.
- Yes, after registration it can be transfer to A khataha or B khata
- However, the present owner should apply for the same , and then you should purchase it.
