In Bengaluru, since the Khata system was rolled out for property tax matters, it has been a boon for many homeowners. But, it’s not all smooth sailing; there are some real challenges too. For those who aren’t familiar, Khata is an official record for identification of a property, its owner and tax assessments. It’s essential for things like property registration and getting utility connections.
A user on X pointed out a practical problem with the new Khata system, particularly concerning revenue lands. If someone owns a revenue land and needs to obtain a Khata, something that was not previously possible due to it being classified as revenue land from a Partition deed, they find that there’s no option available on the new website. This option was, however, available in the old website.
