Bengaluru relaunches B Khata conversion scheme for properties, slashes rate by 60%
An A‑Khata site is fully legal, whereas a B‑Khata site doesn't fully comply with bylaws or lacks proper documentation.
Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar said the one-time settlement option would be available for three months starting May 16. (File Photo) Following a tepid response to an earlier campaign by the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) to convert B-Khata properties to A-Khata, the government relaunched the scheme on Wednesday by slashing the conversion charges.
In the previous version of the scheme, residents seeking to convert their properties had to pay 5 per cent of the guidance value, which is now reduced to 2 per cent.
Addressing a news conference, Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar said the one-time settlement option would be available for three months starting May 16.
“There are seven lakh B-Khata properties in Bengaluru. The campaign is aimed at streamlining these properties,” he said.
An A-Khata site is fully legal and complies with regulations, whereas a B-Khata site refers to a property listed in the B register of the municipal authority and does not fully comply with bylaws or lacks proper documentation.
The GBA launched a similar campaign in October last year.
“Of the seven lakh properties, only 11,000 applications were received for conversion. Khata documents were changed for 7,000 of these properties. However, since the conversion fee was 5 per cent of the guidance value, not many people came forward,” Shivakumar said.
Pitching it as the sixth guarantee of the Congress, Shivakumar said the campaign would be called ‘Nanna Khate, Nanna Hakku’ (My Khata, My Right) campaign. For three months, on every second and fourth Saturday, the campaign will be carried out in 10 locations at each of the five city corporations under the GBA.
Shivakumar said that while a property worth Rs 1 crore previously attracted a conversion fee of Rs 5 lakh, it would now be only Rs 2 lakh.
Once the property conversion is complete, officials and members of the state government’s guarantee committee will deliver the relevant documents to the beneficiaries’ doorsteps, he added.
