A BDA layout resident from Yelahanka tried to pay property tax on bbmptax.karnataka.gov.in. Portal accepted his details — then showed “No property found.”
He called BBMP helpline. They told him: “Your property is under BDA jurisdiction — not BBMP. Go to propertytax.bdabangalore.org.”
Different portal. Different Property ID. Different process entirely.
He went to the right portal. Payment done in 5 minutes.
BDA (Bengaluru Development Authority) — separate from BBMP — manages property tax for all BDA-developed layouts across Bengaluru. If you own a site or property in a BDA layout — your tax goes to BDA, not BBMP.

⚡ 2026 Key Updates: ✅ 5% rebate for full payment before July 31, 2026 ✅ OTS (One-Time Settlement) scheme — interest waiver for Govt buildings (check current status) ✅ e-Aasthi — new property assessment system being integrated ⚠️ Portal opens late every year — if portal is down in April, wait a few days
BDA vs BBMP — Which One Applies to You?
This is the most important question — and most people get it wrong:
| BDA Property Tax | BBMP Property Tax | |
|---|---|---|
| Portal | propertytax.bdabangalore.org | bbmptax.karnataka.gov.in |
| Who pays here | BDA layout site/flat owners | Other Bengaluru property owners |
| Identifier | Property ID + Site ID | PID / AP Number |
| Area examples | Yelahanka, Banashankari, Jayanagar BDA layouts, Rajajinagar, Vijayanagar | Whitefield, Koramangala, Indiranagar etc. |
⚡ Not sure which one? Check your property documents — if it says “BDA Site No.” or “BDA Layout” → use BDA portal. If no BDA mention → try BBMP portal first.
Property ID and Site ID — How to Find Them
BDA portal login needs BOTH — Property ID and Site ID:
| Document | Where to Find |
|---|---|
| BDA allotment letter | Property ID + Site ID clearly printed |
| Previous BDA tax receipt | Both IDs on receipt |
| BDA Khata certificate | Property details including IDs |
| BDA office | Visit with site documents — they can look up |
⚡ Don’t have either? Visit nearest BDA district office with your sale deed. They will give you your Property ID and Site ID.

e-Aasthi — New Assessment System

- Digital property records linked to physical survey

BDA Property Tax Calculation
BDA calculates property tax based on:
Residential Properties:
| Zone | Location | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Central | Core city BDA layouts | Higher BUAV |
| Inner | Mid-ring BDA layouts | Medium BUAV |
| Outer | Peripheral BDA layouts | Lower BUAV |
Formula (similar to BBMP UAV method):
Annual Tax = BUAV × Area × Multiplicative Factors × Tax RateDepreciation: Older properties get depreciation benefit — reduces tax liability. Rate varies by property age.
Quick estimate: propertytax.bdabangalore.org → Tax Calculator (if available) → Enter property details.

Portal Opens Late — What to Do
Common BDA complaint every year:
The BDA property tax portal (propertytax.bdabangalore.org) often opens late at the start of a new financial year — sometimes a week or more into April. Tax values are uploaded manually — causing delays.
What to do:
- Check portal from April 1 onwards
- If closed → wait 3-7 days → try again
- BDA typically gives grace period when portal opens late — ask helpline about extended rebate period
- Helpline: 080-23355111 — confirm current portal status and rebate deadline
OTS Scheme — One-Time Settlement
For properties with old accumulated dues:
Karnataka Government’s One-Time Settlement (OTS) scheme:
- Full interest waiver
- Nominal penalty of ₹100 per year
- Pay full principal to clear all dues
Check current status: propertytax.bdabangalore.org → Announcements / Notices → OTS scheme.
⚡ Scheme validity changes — verify at portal or helpline before assuming it’s active.
Offline Payment Options
| Option | Where |
|---|---|
| BDA District Offices | Sadashivanagar (HQ), jurisdictional layout offices |
| Designated Banks | Demand Draft / Cheque — BDA account |
⚡ Visit your jurisdictional BDA layout office — not the main Sankey Road HQ — for offline payments.
