He said so far 5.34 lakh properties have already been covered and 25 lakh are to benefit from the drive. He had said earlier that 'No citizen should have to pay a bribe to obtain their property records. This government has come to your doorstep to protect your property.' Shivakumar had highlighted that property records across BBMP limits are being scanned, verified, and updated. 'Just like Aadhaar gives a unique identity to individuals, we will assign a unique identifier to every property,' he said. He had also announced that the e-Khata campaign will run through July, covering all BBMP wards. Officers and staff will assist residents through ward-level e-Khata melas being held across Bengaluru. What is an e-Khata? An e-Khata is the digital version of a property's Khata certificate, a legal document that records details such as the property owner's name, size, location, tax assessment, and more. It is essential for property-related transactions, obtaining building permits, and paying property tax. The digital Khata system was launched in October 2024. How to get an e-Khata: Visit your BBMP ward office during the ongoing e-Khata mela. Property owners without a Khata can now generate one by accessing the official E-Aasthi portal To obtain a khata, property owners simply need to upload essential documents, including their Aadhaar number, sale or registered deed number, a recent property photograph, and an Encumbrance Certificate After entering property details, homeowners must upload ownership and tax records, verify the location using an interactive map, and complete Aadhaar eKYC to confirm their identity and address. Officers will verify the records, correct discrepancies, and issue a digitally signed e-Khata certificate. You will receive an SMS or email once it is ready. Also Read: E-Khata mandatory for all building plan approvals in Bengaluru from July 1: BBMP From July 2025 onwards, builders and property owners applying for plan approvals will also be required to enter their property's e-Khata or EPID (electronic property ID) number into the OBPS (Online Building Plan Approval System) portal. According to the statement issued by BBMP earlier, the system will then automatically cross-verify property tax records, thereby removing the need for manual submissions or verification by the revenue department. In 2024, the state government had introduced the e-Khata service to improve transparency in property registrations, reduce fraud and increase property tax revenue. E-Khata is an electronic version of the traditional khata certificate, a computerized record that validates the ownership details of a property in Karnataka. This digital platform verifies that all necessary approvals have been obtained and offers official property ownership documentation.

Month long E-Khata campaign in July: DKS
Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru Development Minister D.K. Shivakumar announced that a month-long campaign will be held from July 1 to issue E-Khatas to property owners in the city. Speaking at a first-of-its-kind E-Khata mela at Sahakarnagar, Byatarayanapura Assembly constituency represented by Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda on Sunday, Mr. Shivakumar termed protection of properties against fraudulent transactions through E-Khatas as another 'guarantee' by the Congress government. He said of the over 25 lakh properties in Bengaluru, E-Khatas were issued to 5.34 lakh properties already. 'The E-Khata programme has won a gold medal for e-governance initiative by the Union government. Combined with Nambike Nakshe, under which we have given deemed plan sanctions to over 9,000 buildings online, e-Khata programme is essentially bringing civic services to your doorstep and cutting down on corruption,' he said. The mela in Sahakarnagar saw overwhelming response with over 4,000 tokens issued to E-Khata applicants and 677 final E-Khatas issued at the spot on Sunday. Responding to demands by property owners in the constituency, the mela has been extended to Monday as well. Of the 1.81 lakh properties in Byatarayanapura, over 51,000 properties have been issued E-Khatas. Mr. Shivakumar said that similar E-Khata melas will be held in other Assembly constituencies as well.
