Understanding the New BBMP Regulations & Khata for Apartments
The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has introduced new guidelines under the Great Bengaluru Governance (GBG) Act, streamlining the Khata application process for multi-unit apartments while implementing stricter compliance requirements.
What is a Khata?
A Khata is a legal document identifying and recording a property owner's details in municipal records. It's crucial for:
- Paying property tax
- Obtaining building plan approvals
- Securing home loans
- Carrying out property transactions
Why a New Khata is Essential?
The new rules emphasize the importance of a valid Khata, especially for multi-unit buildings. Properties constructed on unauthorized layouts or lacking an Occupancy Certificate (OC) may receive a 'B-Khata.' We can help you understand your property's status and guide you through the correct application process.
A-Khata vs. B-Khata:
Understanding the distinction between A-Khata and B-Khata is critical.
- A-Khata: Certifies the property has all required approvals from competent authorities.
- B-Khata: A tax assessment record for properties with potential deviations from the approved plan. While legally valid for tax payment, a B-Khata doesn't hold the same legal standing as an A-Khata.
