Two years. That’s how long a Khata transfer used to drag on if you went through the ARO office in person — “come back next week,” over and over, sometimes with a hint that things would move faster with a little extra “help.” One Rajajinagar resident finally gave up on that route in January 2026 and tried bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in instead. Applied online, took maybe 20 minutes. Reference number came through, and within 3 days the e-Khata was issued — no office visit that time, no middleman, no bribe asked for.
e-Khata (ಇ-ಖಾತಾ) is Karnataka’s digital property ownership document — an electronic version of the traditional Khata certificate. It contains your property details, ownership records, and tax assessments in a digitally signed, legally valid format. Managed by Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) (formerly BBMP) — 25 lakh+ e-Khatas have already been issued in Bengaluru alone.
GBA Revenue department’s clear instruction: “No citizen should visit ARO or any local offices. Visits and contact with officials and middlemen may cause corruption.”

2026 Important Updates
1. BBMP → GBA (Greater Bengaluru Authority) BBMP has been reorganised into Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) with 5 City Corporations — Central, North, East, West, South. Same portal bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in — different jurisdiction.
2. Faceless, Contactless System — No ARO Visit Under GBA Revenue’s new system — entire process online. FIFD (First-Received-First-Disposed) automatic approval. No need to visit ARO, BDA, or Bengaluru One centres (though Bengaluru One centres can help).
3. 25 Lakh+ e-Khatas Issued Over 25 lakh Bengaluru city e-Khatas viewable at bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in anytime.
4. Random Allotment System BBMP introduced random allotment to prevent manipulation — applications assigned randomly to AROs. Reduces middlemen influence.
A-Khata vs B-Khata vs e-Khata — Key Difference
| Type | Meaning | Legal Status |
|---|---|---|
| A-Khata | Property fully approved — within BBMP/GBA jurisdiction, approved layout | ✅ Full legal — bank loans, building permits |
| B-Khata | Property in revenue records but NOT fully approved — unauthorized layout | ⚠️ Limited — property tax paid but no building permits |
| e-Khata | Digital version of A-Khata — electronically issued | ✅ Full legal — same as A-Khata |
Important: e-Khata is the digital form of A-Khata — it does NOT convert a B-Khata property to A-Khata. If your property is B-Khata, you must first get it regularized before applying for e-Khata.
