E-Khata Conversion Online in Bangalore

e-Khata is the digital version of your property's Khata. Since late 2024 it has generally been needed to register a sale in Bengaluru, so a paper Khata has to be converted — each e-Khata gets a unique EPID.

The basics

What is E-Aasthi Khata?

In Bengaluru, the Khata is kept by the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA, formerly BBMP). The e-Khata (e-Aasthi) is its digital version, generated through the GBA e-Aasthi system with a unique EPID number — asked for by the OBPS building-approval system, by lenders, and when a sale is registered.

For property owners asking what is e-aasthi khata, it is the GBA's (formerly BBMP's) digitized property record system that replaces the traditional manual Khata. The e-aasthi khata online version contains a unique EPID number, the ownership details as recorded, and property attributes, all stored in the GBA's central database and accessible 24/7. It is a tax record, not proof of title.

Bought at a bank auction? You usually need the e-Khata transferred into your name, not converted — and any property-tax arrears cleared first, because property tax is a first charge on the property under the Greater Bengaluru Governance Act.

What trips people up

Common Conversion Challenges We Solve

These are the issues behind many returned e-katha conversion online applications. We check for each one before filing.

Name Spelling Mismatches

English vs. Kannada name variations (Sridevi/Shreedevi) are a frequent cause of rejection. We standardize names across all documents before e-khata online application submission.

Property Measurement Errors

Square feet vs. square meters confusion, incorrect dimensions, or area calculation mistakes lead to verification failures during e-aasthi khata conversion.

Survey Number Inconsistencies

Old vs. new survey numbers, subdivision issues, or boundary changes require expert navigation of revenue records — common in e-aasthi khata transfer cases for older properties.

Document Upload Failures

Wrong file formats, oversized documents, or corrupted uploads result in automatic rejections that applicants can't track.
