Big relief for thousands of property owners in Bangalore!
In a game-changing move, the Karnataka Cabinet has approved the regularisation of B Khata properties under BBMP limits—treating them on par with A Khata. This decision, announced in July 2025, is set to transform the real estate landscape across Bengaluru.
As a leading real estate channel partner, we break down what this verdict means, who it helps, and how you can take advantage of this policy.
⸻
🏠 What Are B Khata and A Khata?
• B Khata: Issued for properties that are not fully approved or lack proper documentation. These properties are legal for tax collection but are not considered fully legal for loans, building approvals, or resale.
• A Khata: Issued to properties that are fully legal and in compliance with all BBMP norms. A Khata properties are eligible for bank loans, construction permits, resale, and property transfers.
⸻
🔔 What’s New in 2025?
In July 2025, the Karnataka government approved a landmark decision:
All B Khata properties issued under BBMP till September 30, 2024, will now be considered A Khata, subject to certain conditions and regularisation guidelines.
This is part of the Karnataka Town & Country Planning Act amendments aimed at:
• Bringing unauthorised constructions under civic control
• Improving access to infrastructure and utilities
• Boosting transparency in property ownership
