About the campaign
The campaign, to be held across the five city corporations over the next three months, will help property owners obtain e-Khatas, apply for new Khatas, convert b-Khata properties into a-Khata, process mutations and rectify errors in property records, according to a GBA statement.
Citizens visiting any of the 52 centres can access a wide range of property-related services in one place, including e-Khata applications, new e-Khata requests, b-Khata to a-Khata conversions, mutation services, correction of errors in existing e-Khata records, resolution of pending grievances, and assistance for first-time applicants, the GBA statement said.
The authority said that citizens whose final e-Khatas are ready will be informed by phone and SMS and can collect printed copies from the designated centres.
To support applicants, each centre will have help desks, dedicated service counters, internet-enabled systems, printers, scanners and trained personnel.
Earlier, the state government had launched the ‘Bhoo Guarantee’ scheme, offering lakhs of Bengaluru property owners a chance to convert their b-Khata properties into a-Khata status with nearly 60% reduction in conversion fees through secure digital e-Khatas.
Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar had said that the scheme would offer long-awaited relief and certainty to property owners by enabling conversion from b-Khata to a-Khata status through a simplified digital process.

What is e-Khata, and why does it matter
An e-Khata is a digitally maintained property certificate that records ownership details, tax status, and property classification in a centralised system managed by civic authorities. Unlike the traditional Khata, which has often been prone to discrepancies and manual errors, the electronic format allows for real-time updates and easier verification, GBA officials had said.
The system was introduced to replace manual khata certificates (legal land ownership documents) issued by the city’s former municipal body, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), with the promise of quick, online issuance within 48 hours.
