Digitally Signed Urban Property Register
Digitally signed Khata — required for property registration, loans, and building plan approvals.
In Kannada: ಇ-ಖಾತಾ·Also known as: e-Khata Karnataka · A-Khata · B-Khata · khata certificate online · BBMP e-Khata
The official digitally signed Khata certificate for urban properties, issued through the E-Aasthi system. It replaces the traditional handwritten Khata.
The E-Khata is mandatory for: property registration at the Sub-Registrar's office; building plan approval; utility connections; and home loan applications.
Step by step
Confirm the property has an E-Aasthi record and that the details on it are correct.
Apply for the E-Khata through the ULB's E-Aasthi service against the property identifier.
Pay the prescribed municipal fee.
The ULB verifies the record and issues the digitally signed certificate.

What goes wrong
A-Khata and B-Khata are not interchangeable. B-Khata property cannot be used for a home loan or a building plan approval, and converting it is a separate process.
E-Khata is only issued if the underlying E-Aasthi record is clean. Errors in owner name or extent must be corrected first, which takes far longer than the certificate itself.
Unauthorised construction beyond the sanctioned plan blocks issuance outright.
Pending property tax stops the application. Clear the demand before applying.
The certificate reflects the register at the moment of issue. If a mutation is in progress, wait for it to complete or the certificate will name the wrong owner.
Stuck right now
Symptoms we hit running this retrieval against the government portal, and what each one means.
| Symptom | What it means and what to do |
|---|---|
| Application rejected | Almost always the underlying E-Aasthi record, not the form. Check tax arrears, unauthorised construction, name mismatch and pending mutations. |
| Property is B-Khata | An A-Khata certificate is not available. The route runs through regularisation, and whether one exists depends on why it is B-Khata. |
| Certificate names the wrong owner | A mutation was in progress when it was issued. Wait for the transfer to complete and reapply. |
| QR code does not validate | Share the original signed PDF. Printing and rescanning breaks the signature. |
| Bank wants A-Khata and you have B | Mainstream lenders generally decline B-Khata. Confirm the position with the ULB for that specific property before assuming a scheme will fix it. |
Not enough on its own
No single Karnataka record proves title. Ownership is established by reading the revenue records, the registration record and the survey record together — a gap between any two of them is the thing worth finding before you pay.

FAQ
A-Khata properties are fully legal — they can be sold, mortgaged, and used for building permits. B-Khata properties have unauthorised construction or an irregular sub-division; they cannot easily be used for home loans or building plan approvals.
For urban property within a ULB, yes. The Sub-Registrar requires the E-Khata to register a transfer, and lenders require it for a home loan.
The usual causes are outstanding property tax, unauthorised construction beyond the sanctioned plan, a mismatch between the E-Aasthi record and the sale deed, or a mutation already in progress on the property.

Buying Guide
B-Khata property is cheaper for a reason. The discount is the market pricing in a financing problem, a construction problem and an exit problem that the seller is hoping you will not price.

The E-Khata is mandatory for registration, home loans and plan approval. Most rejections have nothing to do with the application — they are problems in the underlying E-Aasthi record.

A conversion order is granted for a specific extent and a specific purpose. Buyers routinely assume it covers the whole survey number and any use. It usually does neither.
