Here’s how you can apply for B-Khata to A-Khata conversion and also get A-Khata for new sites!

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar unveil a long-awaited scheme allowing Bengaluru residents to convert B-Khata properties into A-Khata online, simplifying ownership validation and boosting civic compliance.

In a major move that brings relief to thousands of property owners across Bengaluru, the Karnataka government has officially launched the long-awaited B-Khata to A-Khata Conversion Scheme under the Greater Bengaluru Authority. The initiative, announced by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, marks one of the biggest administrative reforms for property regularisation in the city.

Bengaluru City has around 25 lakh property Khatas, with approximately 17.5 lakh A-Khatas and 7.5 lakh B-Khatas. Additionally, there are 7–8 lakh properties and sites without any Khata, as they lack approvals and have not applied even for B-Khata.

B-Khata was originally issued for certain types of private properties:

1.    Revenue sites carved out on agricultural land without approvals under the KTCP Act 1961.
2.    Sites on non-agricultural land without approval under the KTCP Act 1961.
3.    Flats and multi-storey units built without building plan approval or without an Occupancy Certificate (OC).

Challenges faced by B-Khata owners include:

•    Ineligibility for building plan approvals.
•    Irregular status of the property, making it unregulated.
•    Difficulty in securing loans, as banks often do not recognize B-Khata due to the absence of layout and building plans.

This situation creates difficulties for citizens while Bengaluru City Corporations struggle to control unregulated property sales.

To address this, a One-Time-Settlement scheme has been introduced: all B-Khata sites can apply for “Single Plot” approval from the City Corporations and automatically convert to A-Khata. However, B-Khata flats or multi-storey units are excluded from this scheme.

The new online system allows property owners to convert their B-Khata sites, often seen as secondary or provisional records, into fully legal A-Khata certificates, ensuring access to loans, trade licenses, and official approvals and also get A-Khate for new sites.
