Re: dc converted a khata land

Post by Jkulkarni »

Please be aware about these facts on Khata. These have been discussed many times in the threads on this very useful forum. I am presenting a summary of this information gathered from various threads.

'Khata' as per BBMP byelaws means an account for BBMP to receive taxes into for area maintenance. Khata can be bifurcated into smaller units of any property or amalgamated where two seperate units are to be treated as one. Other than being an account certificate, Khata does not have no more authenticity to certify a genuine property.

A Khata - is the proper account where the developer has paid betterment charges to BBMP

A Khata conditional - is a temporary account where the developer swears by a affidavit that he will pay the betterment charges in a certain period normally 6 months and requests for a account. Developers misuse this, and bifurcate the accounts into sites/flats on a conditional A khata basis.

B Khata - B register (not Khata) by general meaning is a risky plot which does not have clear legal documentation, this can happen when the property might be on a unauthorized layout, revenue layout formed on agricultural land, DC converted land, in case of an apartment has not received occupancy certificate, betterment charges not paid by land owner, in case of a building where there is no plan approval or any other form of non-compliance to municipal rules and regulations.

Question: A layout has been formed on DC converted land and the owner has got BBMP A khata for the land, is it safe to buy plots here?

You need to verify if the layout has been approved by BDA/BMRDA. DC's conversion to residential use order clearly says that conversion is subjected to developer complying to town and country planning laws otherwise DC has the rights to cancel the conversion. Secondly, verify with BBMP if the A khata is conditional or permanent.

Question: Is it required to have approved plan for apartments and residential layouts in Bangalore? Who is the town planning authority for approval of layouts?

Yes, as per BDA and BMRDA acts it is essential that every apartment and residential layout in Bangalore is approved by these agencies. The layout approvals authorities are BBMP (areas in interior Bangalore), BDA (areas inside city limits, except BBMP areas), BMRDA (areas upto 40-50 km around the city except BDA areas, includes Anekal, Kanakapura, Hoskote), BIAPPA (areas near airport), BMICPA - areas around Bangalore Mysore infrastructure corridor, Lake Development Authority or LDA (areas close to designated lakes), and respective village Panchayats (for areas far away from the city - basically those areas where BMRDA jurisdiction has not yet become applicable)
