What is e-Khata?
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.
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.
