Karnataka Khata

A Khata consists of two main components: 1) Khata Certificate - documenting property registration in municipal records, and 2) Khata Extract - containing property location, dimensions, tax assessment, owner details, and property usage type (residential/commercial).

Khata is essential for property tax payments, obtaining building approvals and licenses, legal transactions like property sales or loans, and transferring ownership. It reflects the property's legitimacy in municipal records.

Landeed checks official and publicly available records to pull this document.

The basic non-certified version of the khata extract is instantly available on the Landeed app. For applying for a khata online it could take anywhere between a week to a month depending on whether a “Khata Transfer” has to be done on the property.

There are two types: 1) A Khata - the standard, fully compliant Khata for properties meeting all legal norms, essential for transactions and approvals. 2) B Khata - for non-compliant properties with irregularities, requiring regularization to obtain an A Khata.

The price varies based on whether its an A or B Khata and whether its online or offline khata. Landeed's prices start from Rs 199.

Khata is not proof of ownership; it is an account of the property in municipal records for tax purposes. Title Deed is the legal document that proves ownership of the property.

A Khata Transfer is the process of updating the Khata in municipal records to reflect ownership changes. When a property is sold, inherited, or transferred, the new owner must apply for a Khata transfer to be recorded in local municipal records for legal property management and tax payments.Landeed helps in getting the Khata transfer done.
