The initiative aims to streamline property mutation processes and eliminate delays for citizens with pending eKhata updates.

The service, officially launched under the leadership of Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru In-Charge Minister DK Shivakumar, allows property buyers and sellers to complete eKhata mutations entirely online using Aadhaar authentication.

The announcement was made by BBMP Chief Commissioner M Maheshwar Rao, IAS, who said the new system is part of BBMP’s broader efforts to bring ease, transparency, and speed to property-related services.

How the automatic mutation process works

Citizens with pending eKhata mutations can follow these steps:

1. Visit https://BBMPeAasthi.karnataka.gov.in
2. Click on the “eKhata Automatic Mutations – Get Your Mutation” link under “Important Instructions”
3. Search for the pending mutation using the ePID number of the property
4. Authenticate both the seller/giver and purchaser/receiver using Aadhaar eKYC
5. If the Aadhaar of the seller/giver matches the Aadhaar seeded with the property eKhata, the mutation will be automatically approved after a seven-day objection period

BBMP clarified that any disputed cases flagged during the process will be reviewed and resolved by an authorized officer.

In a related move aimed at offering long-awaited relief to property owners, the Karnataka State Cabinet recently approved the regularisation of B-Khata properties issued by BBMP up to September 2024. This decision will enable such properties to be upgraded to A-Khata status, giving residents access to essential civic amenities and long-term legal clarity.

“When giving it, we will specify the parameters. If property owners comply with the parameters, then B-Khata will be issued,” said Law Minister H.K. Patil, following the Cabinet meeting held on July 18.

Together, these reforms are part of a broader effort by the state government to enhance transparency, improve service delivery, and ensure that citizens benefit from a more efficient property management framework in Bengaluru.
