Frequently Asked Questions

Which Tahsildar office has jurisdiction over Vamshavruksha applications in Yelahanka?+
Applications are processed by the Tahsildar of Bengaluru North (Additional) Taluk, situated at Mini Vidhana Soudha, NES Office Road, Suggappa Layout, Yelahanka, which administers local revenue and Nadakacheri attestations. Under the July 2026 guideline, the Deputy Tahsildar takes the final decision after the Village Administrative Officer and Revenue Inspector verify the family tree.
What documents are needed for a vamshavruksha certificate in Yelahanka under the 2026 rules?+
The prescribed application form, a notarised affidavit on ₹100 stamp paper, Aadhaar details of every living person in the family tree, and details from one approved ID for every person, including deceased members: Aadhaar, voter ID, ration card, social security pension record, job card, Yashaswini card, driving licence or PAN. Death certificates and a family tree chart are usually needed for property work.
How long does a vamshavruksha certificate take in Yelahanka?+
Under the July 2026 guideline, the Deputy Tahsildar should decide within 14 days, after the Village Administrative Officer and Revenue Inspector complete verification. Files move fastest when every ID matches across documents.
Can I apply for the vamshavruksha certificate online?+
Yes. Apply on the Nadakacheri citizen portal with mobile OTP and Aadhaar eKYC, or at a Nadakacheri, Grama One, Karnataka One or Bapuji Seva Kendra. The applicant must be a Karnataka resident.
How do I check the status and download the certificate?+
No login is needed. Use ajsk.karnataka.gov.in/NK_Status with your acknowledgement (RD) number or mobile OTP, then download or request the SMS link once it is approved. See our step-by-step download guide.
What if my application is rejected or the details are wrong?+
Read the reason in the status remarks, fix the documents and reapply, or apply for correction. Appeals go to the Assistant Commissioner, who should decide within 35 days under the 2026 guideline.
Can an NRI family member get it without travelling?+
Usually a family member resident in Karnataka applies, because the 2026 guideline needs Aadhaar eKYC. NRIs give their details for the tree, and we handle the affidavit, ID list and follow-ups remotely. Documents signed abroad may need consular attestation or apostille.
What is the difference between vamshavruksha and a family member certificate?+
Vamshavruksha shows the wider family tree from a common ancestor. The family member (legal heir) certificate lists the surviving heirs of one deceased person. Many families need both; see our Legal Heir Certificate in Bangalore page.
Is the certificate accepted for khata and RTC changes in Yelahanka?+
Yes. It is used for khata transfer, RTC mutation in Bhoomi, partition and pension claims. Offices may ask for a recently issued certificate if the family has changed since it was issued.
