Property Tax Name Change Online in Bangalore

After you buy a property, the city corporation's tax records still show the previous owner. This changes the name on the tax record to yours — so future bills, receipts, and services are in your name.

The basics

What is a Property Tax Name Change?

In Bengaluru, property-tax records are maintained by the city corporations of the GBA. A sale deed or sale certificate shows you bought the property, but the tax register isn't updated automatically — the property tax name change (a mutation of the record) is what moves the billing and records into your name.

Updating your property-tax record from the previous owner to your name is what makes changing a property tax name in Bangalore matter: it puts the tax bills, receipts, and municipal services in your name. Arrears already on the record usually have to be cleared first. We handle the entire property tax name transfer — from document verification to name-change completion.

Don't mix these up

Tax Name Change vs. Khata Transfer

These get confused constantly. A tax name change updates who is billed; a Khata transfer moves the ownership record. After a purchase you usually need both.

Aspect	Property Tax Name Change	Khata / e-Khata Transfer
What it updates	The city corporation's property-tax record — who gets billed	The Khata / e-Khata ownership record and EPID
Which register	Property-tax register	Khata / e-Aasthi register
Main purpose	Get tax bills & receipts in your name	Move the ownership entry for loans, resale, approvals
Typical trigger	After you buy, inherit, or spot a wrong name	After you buy or inherit a property
You end up with	Tax bills and records in your name	e-Khata + EPID in your name
Needed after a purchase	Yes	Yes — the two are often done together

In plain English

The words you'll see, explained

Property tax name change: Updating the city corporation's property-tax record from the previous owner's name to yours — or fixing a misspelt name on the record.
GBA (formerly BBMP): The Greater Bengaluru Authority. Since September 2025, its five city corporations keep Bengaluru's property-tax records and billing.
Mutation: The official change of the owner's name in the municipal record — exactly what a property-tax name change achieves.
NOC: A No-Objection Certificate — e.g. from the previous owner or an association, confirming they don't object to the change.
No-dues / tax clearance: Proof that property tax is fully paid to date. Any pending dues must be cleared before the name is changed.

Future bills come in your name; any arrears already on the record usually have to be cleared first

Tax Management

Easier online tax payment and municipal service requests
Faster resolution of any tax-related issues

Property Value

Clean, up-to-date tax records improve marketability
Buyers prefer properties with records already in the owner's name
Useful for rental agreements and property leasing

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a property tax name change?

A property tax name change updates the city corporation's property-tax record from the previous owner's name to yours after a purchase (or fixes a misspelt name). Until it's done, the corporation keeps billing the property in the previous owner's name.

Why do I need it after buying a property?

A registered sale deed, or for a bank-auction purchase the sale certificate, shows you bought the property, but the corporation's tax register isn't updated automatically. The name change (a mutation of the tax record) is what puts future tax bills, receipts, and municipal services in your name — and it's often needed before loans, Khata work, and utility transfers.

How long does a property tax name change take in Bangalore?

Our managed service typically completes it in 7–10 working days after your documents are in. The exact timeline depends on document verification and the corporation's processing workload.

How much does a property tax name change cost?

Our service fee is a fixed ₹3,999, covering document verification, the application to the corporation, verification coordination, and updated-record delivery. Any corporation charges and any pending property tax on the record are separate and paid at actuals.

What documents are required for a property tax name change?

The core documents are the registered sale deed (or, for a bank-auction purchase, the sale certificate), the latest property-tax receipt, your Aadhaar and PAN, the previous owner's No-Dues Certificate where available, and the signed application form. Address proof, photographs, and previous tax bills are also needed; inheritance or society cases may need extra papers.

What if the previous owner has pending tax dues?

Pending property tax usually has to be cleared before the name change can be completed. After an ordinary sale, we help obtain the No-Dues Certificate from the previous owner. After a bank auction there is no no-dues from the previous owner: the arrears on the record usually have to be cleared before the name changes, which is why they are worth checking before the bid.

What's the difference between a property tax name change and a Khata transfer?

A property tax name change updates who is billed on the city corporation's tax record. A Khata / e-Khata transfer moves the ownership entry (with its EPID) used for loans, resale, and approvals. After a purchase you usually need both — we can handle them together.

Can I change the name for multiple properties?

Yes. We handle name changes for multiple properties, though each property needs its own application and set of documents.
