Ten facts about e-Khata
The Greater Bengaluru Municipality in a post on X said that for better public understanding, the following facts may be noted:

  • Before E-Khata integration, Bengaluru’s property administration had descended into serious disorder. Nearly 85% of transactions entering Kaveri involved unauthorised layouts, illegal revenue sites, unapproved subdivisions, or defective ownership records. In 2024-25 alone, over 75,000 such transactions occurred before E-Khata integration. After E-Khata was introduced w.e.f. 1.10.2024, such transactions reduced to almost zero.
  • Citizens were routinely misled into buying properties lacking planning approvals or legal municipal recognition. E-Khata integration was introduced to bring transparency, accountability, and legality into the system.
  • The E-Khata framework and its integration with the Sub-Registrar system are fully backed by law, including the Greater Bengaluru Governance Act, 2024, the Registration Act, and allied planning laws. Under the GBG Act, E-Khata carries presumptive value of ownership and has full statutory backing.
  • Duly registered sale deeds, gift deeds, release deeds, inheritance documents, and lawful conveyances are fully recognised and honoured. In fact, mutations based on registered documents are now increasingly automated, reducing delay, discretion, and corruption.
  • Under the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961, subdivision and partition of urban properties require approval from the competent planning authority. E-Khata simply enforces compliance with existing law and helps curb illegal layouts and unregulated property fragmentation.
  • Earlier manual Khata registers were opaque, inaccessible, and heavily dependent on local officials, creating enormous scope for manipulation and corruption. Today, property records are digitised, transparent, and publicly accessible to citizens through the official BBMP E-Aasthi portal: https://bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in
  • Multiple writ petitions challenging E-Khata integration have come before the Hon’ble High Court, and in every such challenge the E-Khata framework has been upheld. The system continues to operate under judicial scrutiny.
  • Like any major governance reform, operational issues during transition can arise and are continuously being resolved. However, such implementation challenges cannot be falsely projected as illegality or unconstitutionality.
  • The real discomfort for some sections is that digitisation and integration have disrupted opaque systems that benefited middlemen, illegal layout operators, document manipulators, and speculative real-estate practices for decades.
  • E-Khata has also been conferred the National e-Governance Award (Gold) 2025 by the Government of India.
    • GBA said: “E-Khata is not against lawful citizens. On the contrary, it is intended to support them and automate services for lawful properties while bringing transparency, accountability, legality, and rule-based urban governance into Bengaluru’s property administration system.”
