Khata Transfer in Bangalore: BBMP, e-Khata and e-Aasthi, Done for You
A khata transfer in Bangalore is how you get your name onto the khata, the BBMP record that identifies who owns a property and who is liable to pay property tax. After you buy, inherit, or receive a property in the city, the khata must move into your name, and Karnataka now handles this through the digital e-Khata and e-Aasthi system. PropResolve manages the whole khata transfer end to end, from document checks to filing with BBMP and collecting your updated khata certificate and extract. We also handle the related property transfer and property mutation steps so your records stay consistent.

Why Your Khata Must Be in Your Name
Your khata is not the title to the property, but it is the municipal record that lets you pay property tax in your own name, apply for a home loan, get a building plan sanctioned, and secure water and electricity connections. Without a khata in your name, resale and bank finance become difficult. A khata transfer usually follows a property transfer made under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, and in Bangalore it is recorded by BBMP, increasingly through the online e-Aasthi platform. Keeping the khata current protects your ownership trail and avoids penalties at the time of sale.
When You Need a Khata Transfer
- After Buying a Property: Moving the khata into your name once the sale deed is registered.
- After a Gift: Updating the khata when a property is gifted to you by a family member.
- After Inheritance: Transferring the khata to the legal heirs once the owner has passed away.
- Before a Resale: Getting the khata in your name so a buyer and their bank will proceed.
- For a Home Loan: Banks need a clear khata in the borrower name to sanction finance.
- For Plan Approval and Utilities: Building plan sanction, water, and electricity connections all rely on a valid khata.

| Legal Status | Fully recognised by BBMP | A record of tax collection, not full legal standing |
| Property Tax | Paid and accepted normally | Collected, but the property stays on the B register |
| Home Loans | Banks finance freely | Most banks hesitate or refuse |
| Building Plan | Plan sanction is available | Plan sanction is usually not granted |
| Resale | Easy to sell and transfer | Harder to sell, buyers stay cautious |
| Best For | Clean, fully compliant ownership | Properties working toward regularisation |

Khata Transfer After Death and for NRIs
When an owner passes away, the khata must be transferred to the legal heirs before the property can be sold or divided. This usually needs the death certificate along with a legal heir certificate or a succession certificate, and a registered will where one exists. We coordinate these and update the khata for every heir. For NRIs and owners who live outside Bangalore, we handle the full khata transfer remotely through a power of attorney, so you do not have to travel. Share your situation through our contact page and we will map the exact steps.
