Land is Panchayat khata under BBMP limit
1 year ago
Builder says land is Panchayat Khata(9/11B) and soon it's going under BBMP limit. what does it means ? is it safe to buy ? what is pros and cons of this property ? Can we convert panchayat khata to A khata ?
A.Dear Client,
Panchayat limit properties with khatas are also A khata if you have Form 9 or Form 11A associated with the property. This 9/11A khata is better than B khata in BBMP. Especially if the location in panchayat is within 1km of bbmp and is a good area, you can go ahead and buy it. 11B is equivalent of B khata in panchayat.
Similarly, in BBMP do not buy flats which deviates from plan, as the property then will become B khata.
Khata is not provided by panchayat but its from the state govt in panchayat limits. In BBMP limits, it is given by BBMP.

A.Dear Sir,
There is no DC conversion to the above land and betterment charges might have been paid. Better to get full fledged legal opinion from property lawyer. The law on B Khatha is as follows:
========================================================================
What is a khata?
A Khata is essentially a revenue document, detailing the assessment of a property, recording details about the property such as size, location, built up area and so on for the purpose of payment of property tax.
It is also a kind of identification of the person who is primarily liable for payment of property tax. It is one of the required documents in case you require a building licence, trade licence or loan from banks or any other financial institutions.
What is the difference between an A Khata and B Khata?
What any property buyer should know while buying property in Bangalore is that it should have A khata.
An A khata means you are buying a property that is legal, and it will allow you to construct on it and obtain a trade or building license. Here are some further details on the difference between A Khata and B Khata.
Then how did the term B Khata come into being?
Well in 2007 when BBMP came into being 2 things were apparent:
1) There were many properties that fell under its jurisdiction that were illegal constructions
2) There was a need for an uniform taxation policy
Regarding the former the BBMP found that these illegal constructions were enjoying civic amenities without paying taxes. While regarding the latter, there was a need to consolidate the tax collection process to make it simpler which was earlier collected by 3 different bodies.
Now, the newly formed BBMP had the power to levy taxes on the aforementioned illegal constructions. The taxes collected from these properties were recorded in a register known in common parlance as B register and the khata issued therein was known as a B khata.
Thus anyone having a B khatha essentially is a non BBMP approved construction. Hence it is not advisable to buy such properties.
However, it is only fair to mention that any B khata property can be converted into an A khata property.
