Bengaluru e-Khata Drive: GBA Receives 2,939 Applications Under 'My e-Khata, My Hakku' Campaign

Bengaluru, May 18: GBA received 2,939 applications under the 'My e-Khata, My Hakku' campaign, of which 1,242 were verified, approved, and final e-Khatas issued on-site during the drive.

Application Breakdown

Applications included requests for e-Khata issuance, mutation, new Khata registrations, b-to-a Khata conversions, and grievance redressal. Among the applications received, e-Khata requests accounted for the largest category with 1,080 submissions, of which 568 were disposed of immediately. Authorities processed 64 out of 139 mutation applications and approved 90 of the 236 new khata applications received.

Bhoo Guarantee Scheme

Under the Karnataka government's Bhoo Guarantee scheme, landowners in Bengaluru can convert their b-Khata to a-Khata by paying a guidance value of 2 per cent instead of 5 per cent earlier. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar said the scheme would offer long-awaited relief and certainty to property owners through secure digital e-Khatas. "Apply within 100 days to avail a 60% concession on the b-Khata to a-Khata conversion fee," he wrote on X.

Campaign Implementation

The government has decided to hold special camps every Saturday for three months, starting May 16, across multiple locations in each Assembly constituency to process applications and verify documents. GBA officials said the initiative is part of a broader effort to digitise land and property records and improve citizen access to khata services in Bengaluru. Out of 425 b-to-a Khata conversion applications, 120 were cleared on the spot, while 400 of 1,059 grievance-related applications were resolved.
