In a significant digital transformation step, homeowners in Bengaluru can now get their final e-khata within 48 hours after applying online. This convenient process, developed by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), promises to transform property registration and make the process more convenient for property owners.
A Digital Leap Forward
Homeowners no longer have to visit municipal offices in person for their traditional khata certificate. The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has launched an e-khata system that substitutes the khata certificate in electronic form that establishes the ownership details of a property. This represents a major advancement in the direction of digital governance that lifts the administrative load on homeowners and government employees alike.
