Property tax payment for B khata property


03-Sep-2023 (In Property Law)
Hi, I bought a flat in Bangalore which is B Khata (Land A Khata but apartment has some horizontal and vertical deviations). Now I am paying Property Tax every year online using SAS based Application number and in that receipt the Owner name of the flat is my name. Now do I need to seperately get B Khata form for it or property tax itself is enough. As I understand that there is nothing called B Khata, it is just BBMP is maintaining a separate ledger for these kind of properties. And B Khata is illegal constructions against BBMP approvals. Please help me if I have to separately get B Khata or my property paid tax slips are enough during A Khata conversion if at all it happens in future.

Fundamentally if your property is built on land which has been given an 'A' Khata by the BBMP the apartment should also have a A' khata as the 'A' khata is sub divided to allot new property numbers for purpose of assessment of Tax on the apartment units built on the land, albeit the apartment having some horizontal and vertical deviations.

It is strange that you have been given a 'B" khata. However all this is set to change in a few months as the government has decided to regularize all such properties and based on the kind of deviation that has happened in your budding possibilities are that the same may be regularized sub to any such new rules for regularization of the same. You will have to wait until such a scheme is notified while you can continue to pay your taxes, in the manner that you currently are.
