Overview
- The Karnataka government launched an online portal on Oct. 15 to convert eligible B‑Khata sites to A‑Khata across Greater Bengaluru.
- Only individual plots up to 2,000 sq m qualify for the drive, with flats and most multi‑storey B‑Khata buildings excluded for now.
- Applications use mobile OTP login and Aadhaar authentication on the BBMP site, followed by doorstep inspection; larger plots file via BPAS with CAD drawings.
- A conversion charge of 5% of guidance value applies during a 100‑day campaign from Nov. 1, with a higher tariff to be set afterward.
- Coverage conflicts on a ₹500 registration fee, and opposition leader H.D. Kumaraswamy has attacked the plan as costly, alleging a Rs 15,000 crore take.
