When a BDA‑approved layout is handed over to the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), property owners must convert their BDA Khata into a BBMP Khata. With Bengaluru’s shift toward digital governance, this process now leads to an E‑Khata, which is faster, transparent, and accessible online. Here’s how Smart Plot clients can navigate the conversion smoothly.

Step 1: Collect Required Documents

Prepare certified copies of:

Registered Sale Deed
BDA Khata Certificate & Extract
Latest Property Tax Receipts
Encumbrance Certificate (EC)
Approved Layout Plan from BDA
Occupancy Certificate (if applicable)
Aadhaar Card of the owner

Step 2: Submit Application to BBMP

Visit the BBMP Revenue Office in your jurisdiction.
Fill out the Khata Transfer/Conversion Application Form.
Attach all supporting documents.
Pay the prescribed Khata transfer fee (usually 2% of stamp duty paid on the Sale Deed).

Step 3: Verification by BBMP

The Revenue Officer verifies ownership and tax compliance.
A field inspection may be conducted to confirm property details.
Any discrepancies (like pending dues or layout violations) must be cleared before approval.

Step 4: Issue of BBMP Khata

Once verified, BBMP issues a Khata Certificate and Extract in your name.
This replaces the old BDA Khata and establishes your property record under BBMP.

Step 5: Upgrade to E‑Khata

Log in to the Sakala portal or BBMP’s official website.
Register your property details using the new BBMP Khata number.
Download the digital E‑Khata certificate, which can be used for all future transactions.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Incomplete documentation is the biggest cause of delays.
Unpaid property tax blocks conversion until dues are cleared.
Confusion between A Khata and B Khata—only A Khata is valid for loans and resale.
