BENGALURU: All five city municipal corporations have enabled online e-khata download, which allows property owners within the Greater Bengaluru Area (GBA) limits avail the facility using their property tax credentials. Officials at the GBA said the aim is to make available about 13 lakh e-khatas immediately to citizens, removing all red tape and delays in the process.
Citizens can visit https://BBMPeAasthi.karnataka.gov.in, login using mobile and OTP, enter SAS (Self-Assessment System) Application Property Tax ID and download the e-khata instantly. Officials said this move will remove the need to search for e-khatas with the owner’s name. They said that because the option is online, people do not need to visit any corporation offices.
“Citizens will also receive ready-to-download e-Khata link via SMS / WhatsApp (on registered mobile number in Property Tax System),” GBA Chief Commissioner M Maheshwar Rao said in a statement on Saturday.
These e-Khatas are issued on an “as-is-where-is” basis based on existing records. To make the e-Khata complete and to do a transaction in the sub registrar office, the residents will need to update online their Aadhaar & e-KYC, registered sale deed, property details (GPS & Photo) and BESCOM ID (if applicable).
