Register property with alternative documents

After two-and-a-half years of rigmarole over khata transfer and endorsement which had put property registrations in the erstwhile urban local bodies in a limbo, the Karnataka government has facilitated the sale-purchase transactions by suggesting alternative documents.

The government issued a fresh notification on August 12, 2009 about the acceptable documents during registration.On Aug 14, the inspector general of registration and commissioner of stamps K R Niranjan has written to the sub-registrars to follow the new guidelines and open up the registrations.

Since 2007 after the urban local bodies came under BBMP fold, property Owners who wanted to sell their properties could not do so. Now the government issued a fresh notification on the acceptable documents.The registration process for apartments located in these areas has also been made smooth now.

The khatas issued by the erstwhile CMCs, TMC or panchayats to which your buildings/sites belonged before becoming a part of the BBMP, will suffice to do property transactions.

You can submit following documents during property transaction

For buildings/sites in old urban local bodies:

  • copies of khata and assessment extracts issued by CMCs, TMC or village panchayats to whose jurisdiction the properties belonged
  • copies of property tax application and tax paid receipt under BBMP’s Self-Assessment Scheme
  • Sale of apartments: copy of registered sale deed of first transaction

Khata Transfer

Property Registration in New Areas Has Come Down

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Residents of new areas is facing problem of property registration by merging of some urban local bodies with City Corporation by BBMP . As per rule when urban local bodies are elevated with city status, fresh Khatas to properties in CTC/TMC/ village panchayats should be issued by City Corporation. This is for proof or endorsement that the properties have been transferred to corporation limits.

However, merging of eight CMCs, one TMC and village panchayat with City Corporation seems not in smooth for property registration. Residents in new areas are facing problem for property registration as sub registrar insists BBMP must issue an endorsement stating that property comes under their jurisdiction for transfer or registration of property but BBMP has not streamlined khata of CMCs. This directly or indirectly leads to come down of property registration in new areas.

According to guidelines of state revenue department on registration of property or transfer of property, property owner must submit the endorsement or new khata extract along with other documents for registration. The endorsement will state that property belongs to jurisdiction of BBMP but BBMP is going slow in issue of new khata. Inspector general of registration and commissioner of stamps clarifies that though department has come out to help residents of new areas BBMP has not shown any co-operation till now.

BBMP states that new khata cannot be issued without verification of existing khata. If the khata is issued without any verification it will be like legalizing illegal or encroached property by putting seal of approval. They also states that if any discrepancy comes fingers will first point to BBMP.

In short, residents of new areas cannot register or transfer property unless they get endorsement from BBMP or BBMP issues fresh khata. Residents in new areas are upset with BBMP process and procedure.
