Karnataka Says 2.5 Million Bengaluru Properties Now On e-Khata

Linking property data to Aadhaar with GPS mapping aims to curb fraud.

Overview

  • Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar said Friday the rollout has brought more than 25 lakh Bengaluru properties into the electronic khata registry.
  • An e-khata is a digital property certificate that stores ownership details, measurements, sketches, photos and documents in one secure record.
  • Officials have sent digital certificates via WhatsApp to about 10 lakh owners, with printed copies promised for home delivery.
  • More than 50 help counters will open across Bengaluru, with a citywide ‘Namma e-khata’ drive scheduled to start on May 16.
  • About 7,000 requests to convert B-khatas to A-khatas are under process as part of the ongoing regularization push.
