E-khata melas kick off in Bengaluru

BENGALURU: The ‘Nanna E-Khata Nanna Hakku’ campaign officially kicked off on Saturday. Over 23 lakh property documents across five city corporations have been scanned and digitised to ensure the safety of land records for property owners and to prevent fraud.

E-khatas will be prepared and distributed for these properties. E-khata fairs will be held at 50 locations within the limits of the five city corporations. Three types of services will be available at the E-khata fairs: issuance of e-khatas, submission of applications for new e-khatas, and conversion of B-khatas to A-khatas.

For converting B-khatas to A-khatas, property owners will now have to pay only 2 per cent of the guidance value instead of 5 per cent. This scheme will be available for only 100 days, and khata holders can make use of the opportunity. Khata centres have been set up in GBA schools, colleges, ward offices and various grounds across the five city corporations.
