The A Khata and the B Khata:

As per the Governemnt the B Khata certificates only indicate towards the existence of a certain property that can be assessed for taxation, but does not indicate towards either the ownership rights or the legality of the property. In lay man’s term, to hold the legal status in the eye of the law, a property has to be certified under the A Khata. A, B Khata status makes a property illegal in the eye of the Karnataka Court and also makes them liable to pay compensation to the court. The Karnataka Court has asked the BBMP to bring all properties under the A Khata register. In case that your property does not fall under this list, then it is held under the B Khata, which establishes the fact that the building or property is still pending sanction and also that you hold no proof of ownership over it.

This includes the residents of a complex namely Sharadamba Residency, situated in Kengeri Hobli in South Bengaluru. The 20 residents of this complex have come together to file a case against the verdict of the BBMP of their property being a B Khata Property.

What is a Khata?

Before we get about finding a solution to the problem, it is important that we learn what a Khata is. The Khata is nothing but an Account. This is a special document that proves the fact that the owner of the property has an account with the BBMP. The khata represents the fact that the property owner is liable to pay property tax against a sanctioned property. Some of the different contents and specifications contained in the Khata, include- location of the property, size of the property, name of the owner, tax assessment, property number, built-up area, demarcations and many other specifications.

What to do, in case that you come across the B Khata Issue?

There are a number of things that you can do to opt out of a situation where you come to own a property that is certified as a B Khata Property. First and foremost you will have to derive the occupancy certificate you own or are about to. Once this is achieved a property can very easily be transferred from a B khata to an A khata. The documents that you require to do so are-

• Title deed,
• Sale deed,
• Copies of previously paid property tax receipts,
• Copies of paid improvement charges, if any,
• Blueprint showcasing the location of the property
• Blueprint showing the dimensions and other various certified specifications covered by the property
• Khata extract which has been issued by the Panchayat and thereafter submitted by the developer
• Possession certificate, etc.

Once all these documents are produced in front of the Court, the property can be converted from B khata to A khata certified status.

What is a khata?

Khata is one of the most important legal documentation owned by the Karnataka Government. The khata consists of a number of details on a property. Some of the minute details enlisted in the khata are-

• Name of the Owner
• Number of the plot
• Location of the plot
• Area and size of the plot or the building
• The number of floors
• The day of establishment
• The day of completion, and a lot more.

These details are of optimum importance when filing for property tax. Hence, the khata is basically a document that licences the property and announces it as eligible to pay tax. Having the property name enlisted in the khata, ensures the fact that the owner of the property is liable to pay taxes to the BBMP and also that their property is an authentic construction. There are mainly two types of khata, Khata A and Khata B and both of them have their unique significances.

Khata A & B:

Lately there has been a huge confusion regarding the significance of the two khatas and also the similarities and differences between the two. The Khata A is mainly the khata that is being talked about till now. It is mainly a register that contains the names and details of licensed properties and their tax details. On the other hand the Khata B is the register of properties that are outstanding on their taxes and are yet to receive their khata certificate, legal status or the khata extract.

The two elements of Khata A:

There are two elements of khata, these are-

       – The Khata Certificate:

The Khata Certificate is basically a document that a property owner requires to register his/her property or transfer the ownership of the property from one owner to the other. In order to make a request for the khata certificate the owner of the property needs to write a letter to the BBMP and also attach their latest paid tax receipt to it. These documents need to be submitted with the board along with a standard cost of Rs. 25 for each property they submit the letter for. It is this licence or certificate issues by Khata that will enable the property owners to apply for water and electricity connections or for that matter getting their hands on a commercial licence.

      – The Khata Extract:

The Khata Extract is the document that contains all the details regarding the property, some of which have been mentioned above.
