Necessity of B khata in absence of A khata

694 votes

If the flat you are referring to is within the BMRDA limits, then what is primary is that the apartment building should have the approval of BMRDA of that jurisdiction. If there are no deviations, violations your builder is bound to get A khatha for the building. B khatha is just given for the purposes of registration, not only for not paying betterment fee. The authorities will not accept the betterment charges till your approvals come.

Dear sir,

I will need to see your legal document rrlated with your site. Since your site has DC conversion , betterment charges have been paid you can go for A khatha, but you need to pay up to date property tax and encumbrance certificate is required. Please contact me, a face to face meeting will be better and things can be more clear.

cases where revenue properties have not received a conversion of the land use and approvals for the formation of the layout from the competent authority, Khata Registration will not be done unless they are regularized by the government. However, the assessment of the revenue properties for the purpose of paying property tax will be made and entered in the B-register, therefore known as a ‘B’ Khata. There is no separate application to acquire a ‘B’ Khata. Also, this application cannot be filed under Sakala and is to be submitted in the same BBMP office counter. One can generally expect a ‘B’ Khata in 15-30 working days, provided all documents are submitted and there is no further documents asked by the BBMP official. If in case the Khata details are not registered or cannot be registered due to the absence of the approval from BBMP, one can obtain a ‘B’ Khata by submitting documents such as Sale Deed, latest property tax payment receipts, Encumbrance Certificate and Mother Deed. ‘B’ Khata does not hold any legal sanctity and does not hold any ownership proof. It is also not recognized as a valid document by government agencies for any official purpose.
