Until it is done, tax notices, the e-Khata and every future application still point at the previous owner. Khata transfer — also called mutation — is BBMP's process for recording a change of ownership in the property register. It is required after every transfer of ownership: sale, gift, inheritance, partition, release or court decree. It is different from registration at the sub-registrar office, which records the transaction; transfer updates who is liable for property tax and who the Khata is issued to. ## Who this is for - Buyers whose Khata and tax receipts are still in the seller's name - Legal heirs after the death of the recorded owner - Recipients under a gift deed or a family settlement - Co-owners dividing a property (bifurcation) or merging sites (amalgamation) - Owners of flats where the parent Khata was never bifurcated into units ## When you need it — common situations - **After purchase** — Apply as soon as the sale deed is registered; tax and e-Khata follow the Khata. - **After a death in the family** — Transfer to legal heirs with the death certificate and succession documents; a release deed if some heirs are giving up their share. - **Before a sale** — Buyers' banks will not proceed if the Khata is in a previous owner's name. - **Before a loan or plan sanction** — Both require the Khata in the applicant's name. ## What Marvel does - Check the current Khata, e-Khata and tax record against your deed and identify mismatches before filing - Prepare the application with the correct BBMP form and annexures for your type of transfer - Compute the transfer fee and arrange the affidavits and indemnities the ward office requires - File at the ward/zonal office (or online where the service is available), attend for verification and respond to queries - Follow up to issue of the Khata certificate and extract, then update the property-tax account and e-Khata - Handle bifurcation or amalgamation where the property is being divided or merged ## Documents and information usually required - Registered sale deed / gift deed / partition deed / release deed / will and probate or succession certificate - Previous Khata certificate and extract (in the previous owner's name) - Latest property-tax-paid receipt - Encumbrance Certificate for the recent period - Death certificate and legal-heir / family-tree documents for inheritance - Identity and address proof of the applicant(s); passport-size photographs - Affidavit / indemnity bond in the prescribed format, where required > The ward office checks that the name, property number and dimensions match across every document. Most rejections come from a mismatch — an initial missing, a site number written differently, a built-up area that differs from the tax record. We reconcile these before filing. ## Step-by-step process 1. **Record check** — We obtain the existing Khata details and tax status and compare them with your deed. 2. **Documentation** — Application, annexures, affidavits; corrections identified and fixed first where possible. 3. **Filing and fee** — Submission at the jurisdictional BBMP office; transfer fee paid (a percentage of the stamp duty paid on the deed, as prescribed). 4. **Verification** — Office scrutiny and, where required, site or document verification; we respond to queries. 5. **Issue** — Khata certificate and extract issued in your name; we update the tax account and e-Khata. ## Timeline and fees Straightforward transfers after a sale are typically completed in a few weeks once the file is complete; inheritance and partition cases take longer because of the additional documents. We give a specific estimate after seeing the documents. BBMP's transfer fee is prescribed as a percentage of the stamp duty paid on the transfer document and is paid to BBMP. Our professional fee is fixed and quoted before we start. > **Not sure this is the right service?** Send us the situation in a couple of lines.

Khata transfer changes the name on an existing Khata after ownership changes. Both go through BBMP; the documents differ. **Q: Can Khata transfer be done online in Bengaluru?** A: BBMP has moved parts of the Khata process online through its e-Aasthi / Sakala-linked services, and e-Khata transfer is available for properties already on e-Aasthi. Paper Khata, inheritance and partition cases still involve the ward office. We use whichever route applies to your property. **Q: How much does Khata transfer cost?** A: BBMP's fee is a prescribed percentage of the stamp duty paid on your deed. Our professional fee depends on the case type — sale, inheritance, bifurcation — and is quoted after we see the documents. There are no hidden "facilitation" charges. **Q: Do I need Khata transfer for a flat?** A: Yes. Each flat should have its own Khata (bifurcated from the parent Khata of the building) and, within BBMP limits, its own e-Khata. If the builder never bifurcated the parent Khata, that has to be resolved first. **Q: Do I need to visit your office to start?** A: No. Most matters start with a call or WhatsApp and photographs of your documents. We meet at our Yeshwanthpur office or at the property when a physical inspection, signature or original document is needed. **Q: How are your fees structured?** A: A fixed professional fee agreed before work starts, quoted after a free first assessment of your documents. Government fees, stamp duty and statutory charges are separate and paid to the authority. We do not quote a headline price for complex matters because the work depends on what the records show. --- Contact: Sanjay +91 91875 98642 · Kiran +91 96635 38037 · info@marvelconsultants.co.in · 17/3, Community Hall Road, Ashokapuram, Yeshwanthpur Industrial Suburb, Bengaluru 560022 Disclaimer: Marvel Consultants is a private firm, not a government body.
