What is Khata Transfer?
Khata Transfer is the process of updating property records in the BBMP (or local Panchayat) revenue register after the property changes ownership—through sale, inheritance, gift, or partition. Once transferred, tax bills and official notices go to the new owner.
Without Khata in your name, you might face hurdles with building plan approvals, bank loans, or future resale.

- After purchase: From the seller’s name to buyer’s.

- On gift or settlement deeds: To record the new owner.
- After court decrees: To execute property partition orders.
