Issue: Inherited Property Paperwork
The process became much less stressful. Dealing with my father's inherited property paperwork felt impossible until we found Kustodian's guidance. They knew exactly which records to pull and which offices to approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about property documentation.

E-Khata is a digital version of your property record maintained by the BBMP. It is becoming mandatory for property transactions, bank loans, and obtaining building plan approvals in Bangalore. It ensures that your property record exists in the digitized government database, reducing manual errors and fraudulent entries.

A-Khata properties have full approvals and adhere to all building bylaws. B-Khata properties exist in the BBMP register but have some deviations or lack specific approvals. While both are in the system, A-Khata is preferred for bank loans and official approvals.

PID stands for Property Identification Number. It is a unique 15-digit alphanumeric code assigned by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to every property within its jurisdiction. It maps the ward, street, and individual plot, making it essential for paying online property taxes and maintaining accurate municipal records.

Property mutation is the process of updating the municipal or revenue records to reflect the new owner's name after a property is transferred, inherited, or gifted. While a Sale Deed proves legal ownership, mutation (updating the Khata) is necessary to pay property taxes in your own name and to get electricity/water meters transferred.

When all documents are perfectly in order, a standard Khata transfer via the Sakala system usually takes 30 to 45 working days. However, minor paperwork gaps, name mismatches, or municipal backlogs can frequently extend this timeline. We help ensure your application is complete to minimize delays.

A name mismatch requires submitting a rectification deed if the error is in the sale deed, or an affidavit along with identity proof to the BBMP revenue office if it's a data entry error in their digital records.

This is a common issue. You will need to initiate a delayed mutation process. This involves gathering your registered sale deed, historical tax receipts (even if paid in the old owner's name), and applying for a Khata transfer. Sometimes, a penalty may apply for the delay in notifying the municipality.

Yes. If your property tax records show incorrect dimensions, wrong zones, or misspelled names, you can file a correction application with the Assistant Revenue Officer (ARO) of your BBMP ward, supported by your original sale deed and previous accurate tax receipts.

Before purchasing, ensure you review the absolute Sale Deed, continuous Encumbrance Certificates (EC) for at least 15-30 years, an up-to-date A-Khata or B-Khata, current Property Tax receipts, the sanctioned building plan, and an Occupancy Certificate (OC) if applicable.

If builder documentation like the OC or Khata bifurcation is missing, your property might be registered under a B-Khata. We guide you through the available options to compile necessary paperwork, pay the required betterment charges (if applicable and open), and apply for individual property assessments with the BBMP.
