e-Aasthi (eaasthi.karnataka.gov.in) is the Directorate of Municipal Administration's property register for every city corporation, city municipal council and town panchayat in Karnataka outside Bengaluru; BBMP runs its own instance at bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in. The record it issues is the e-Khata — the electronic khata that has replaced the manual khata extract and certificate for registration, building plans and property tax.
This page explains what e-Aasthi holds, the difference between Form A and Form B khata and between a draft and a final e-Khata, how to search a property without a login, the ePID and PID numbers, and what e-Aasthi does not prove about title.

The khata of a property with clear formation — approved layout or converted land, assessed for tax. Registrable, mortgageable.
Get the E-KhataThe B-register entry for a property with irregular formation. Taxed, but registration is restricted until regularised.
Get the E-KhataFind a property by PID, owner name, or ward and door number, and view its khata status, tax assessment and owner.
Get the Khata ExtractThe separate Bengaluru instance: draft e-Khata compiled from tax records, final e-Khata after document verification.
Get the e-KhataChange of owner after a registered sale, applied online with the sale deed and EC; the e-Khata is reissued in the new name.
Get the E-KhataThe paid-tax record linked to the khata; arrears block transfer and building-plan approval.
Get the Tax ReceiptStep by step
Open eaasthi.karnataka.gov.in (or bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in for a Bengaluru property) and choose the citizen search.
Select District, then the urban local body (city corporation, CMC, TMC or town panchayat), then the ward.
Search by the property ID (PID / ePID) from a tax receipt, or by owner name or door number if you have no PID.
Open the property. Check the owner, khata type (Form A or B), site measurements, the survey or layout it was formed from, and the assessment.
Download the e-Khata PDF. Where the ULB has not yet issued the final e-Khata, the screen shows a draft; apply for the final with the sale deed, EC and tax receipt.
Log in to bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in with your mobile number and OTP.
Find the property by PID or SAS application number; the draft e-Khata compiled from tax records opens.
Upload the registered sale deed, the latest EC, the tax-paid receipt and a photograph and identity proof of the owner.
Submit. The case officer verifies the documents against Kaveri and the tax register; track the application number on the dashboard.
On approval, download the final e-Khata. It carries the ePID that the sub-registrar now checks at registration.

| Form A khata (A-khata) | Clear formation — converted land, approved layout, assessed. Registration and bank loans are routine. |
|---|---|
| Form B khata (B-khata) | The property is taxed but its formation was irregular (unconverted land, unapproved layout). Registration is restricted and conversion to A is a separate process. |
| Draft e-Khata | BBMP's starting record compiled from the tax database, not yet verified. Not accepted for registration. |
| Final e-Khata | Issued after the owner's documents are verified. This is the khata a sub-registrar asks for. |
| PID / ePID | Property identification number. PID is the tax identity; ePID is the e-Khata identity issued on the final khata. |
| Khata transfer pending | Sale registered, application filed, verification not complete. Tax may still show the seller's name. |
Cover agricultural land or Gram Panchayat sites. Those are Bhoomi and e-Swathu respectively.
Prove ownership on its own. A khata is a tax and civic record; title comes from the registered deed and the EC.
Show pending litigation or a mortgage. The EC and a court search do that.
Turn a B-khata into an A-khata. That needs regularisation or conversion and a fresh application.
Same design, two systems. e-Aasthi serves every urban local body in Karnataka except Bengaluru; BBMP e-Aasthi is Bengaluru's own instance with the draft-then-final e-Khata process.
The e-Khata replaces both. It carries the extract details (owner, measurements, assessment) and serves as the certificate for registration.
The land was not converted, the layout was not approved, or the building violated the plan when the khata was opened. The ULB taxes it under the B register until it is regularised.
No for search and viewing. Yes (mobile OTP) for applying for a final e-Khata or a khata transfer.
Yes. Enter the property on the e-Khata or BBMP e-Khata page and we retrieve the current record from e-Aasthi and send the PDF on WhatsApp.
