BENGALURU: With Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) including khata transfer under Sakala, property owners can now obtain khata transfers online by applying for it through the Sakala service.
In January, BBMP authorities had informed Karnataka High Court that they are bringing a uniform e-system for Khata transfer. There was a petition filed against BBMP for delay in transfer of khata. Earlier, khata transfer service was under the Sakala service. However, it was time consuming. Citizens had to do multiple visits from submitting documents to payment of fees. They were also forced to run from pillar to post to know the status of the application till they got the khata extract.
Meanwhile, BBMP revenue officers were also overworked. But now, under the same stipulated Sakala service, one can get their khata transfer job done. As per the Sakala service, it is seven working days in the case of BDA/KHB allotted properties and 30 working days in the case of revenue extensions, BDA re-conveyed areas, gramathana, high-rise buildings.
Property owners can apply either online or at BangaloreOne centres. A BBMP release stated that they have developed a new application to speed up the service. This system will make jobs of citizen as well as revenue officers easier. It makes it easy to track the status of each application online.
