The khata is the civic authority's record of who owns a property and what tax it pays. Bengaluru has moved these records online as e-Khata, and an e-Khata is now needed to register most transactions on urban properties in the city.
Why it matters
- Sale and mortgage registration may be held up without a valid e-Khata
- Banks rely on it when sanctioning home loans
- Errors in name, area or property details can cause disputes later
What you usually need
- Registered sale deed or title document
- Recent property tax receipt
- Owner's Aadhaar for e-KYC
- Encumbrance certificate
- Photograph of the property and location details
Common problems
Mismatched names between the deed and tax records, wrong site measurements, and properties in layouts without approvals are the most frequent causes of delay. These usually need supporting documents or a formal correction request.
