The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has digitized khata records, making it easier for property owners to access them through the e-AASTHI platform. As of October 1st, 2024, e-khata applications can be submitted online, eliminating the need for physical visits to BBMP offices.
An e-khata is a digital version of your property’s khata, consolidating details from the khata certificate and extract, along with GPS coordinates, photos of the property and owner, and a unique 10-digit e-property ID. Both A and B khata properties are eligible for e-khata.
To apply, log in to the e-AASTHI portal, locate your draft e-khata by ward or property owner’s name, and upload required documents such as the sale deed, encumbrance certificate, property tax receipts, Aadhaar eKYC, and photos. Upon submission, the system matches your details with the Kaveri and BESCOM databases for automatic approval. Any discrepancies are forwarded to the Assistant Revenue Officer (ARO) for resolution.
While the initiative promises transparency and convenience, some challenges remain. Citizens report issues like errors in draft e-khatas and unlisted properties. BBMP has assured that corrections and additional modules for unlisted properties will be available soon.
Additionally, privacy concerns have been raised as draft e-khatas are publicly viewable. BBMP, however, states the system is secured with blockchain integration.
This digitization is expected to streamline property transactions and improve urban governance. Property owners are encouraged to check their listings and apply for e-khata promptly.
