DC Conversion is a must. In reality there is no such thing as B KHATA
However, in reality, ‘B’ Khatha does not exist. Property identification numbers are entered into a register called as ‘B’ register stating that the civic agency has been paid its dues by the property owners. For citizens in need of an approval from the appropriate land development authority but have a Deputy Commissioner (DC)?conversion, the BBMP re-introduced Betterment Charges which will entail people to take a Khata on their property. This is how B Khata originated in the mind of property owners but not legally
Now the disadvantages of having B khata is that, you will not get building license, trade licence or loan from banks or any other financial transactions. Hence it isbig hurdle to have B Khata land. Now what are the ways of converting B Khata land to A khata?
By paying betterment charges you can convert B Khata to A Khata. But you will face lot of hurdles, few of them are as below.
1) You should have DC converted property
2) Tax must be paid till date
3) Betterment charges for the conversion property need to paid to BBMP.
So the solution is to avoid purchasing B Khata properties and prefer A Khata to have comfortable position in dealing future financial transaction hurdles.

Dear Sir/Mam,

D C conversion is mandatory for procuring A khatha. Non Agricultural use of land that has not gone through DC Conversion is not a good idea. This is because such properties will not be able to obtain an “A Khata Certificate” from the Bangalore Bruhat Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). Such properties can only be registered under the B Khata Register which is commonly also referred to as a “B Khata Certificate”.
