Karnataka government has launched a new B to A Khata conversion portal for property owners in Bengaluru. The portal allows citizens to convert their B-Khata sites into legal A-Khata properties easily online. This project, launched by Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar, aims to benefit more than 8 lakh property owners in Bengaluru city.
The new process is only for plots of land, not for buildings. It provides property owners a chance to make their land legally valid by getting a final A-Khata certificate through bbmp.karnataka.gov.in or bpas.bbmpgov.in.
What is B-Khata and A-Khata?
A B-Khata property is one that does not meet all legal building and land rules or has incomplete documents. These properties are recorded in the B-register and often face issues like not being eligible for bank loans or government approvals.
An A-Khata property, on the other hand, fully follows all municipal laws and is officially recognized by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). The new portal gives B-Khata owners an opportunity to get their properties converted to A-Khata through a simple online process.

The online application for plots smaller than 2,000 square meters can be made at bbmp.karnataka.gov.in/BtoAKhata while for larger plots (above 2,000 sq. m), applications should be submitted at bpas.bbmpgov.in.
