Apply for Khata transfer to change the name in BBMP property tax record.

Here I will explain the step by step procedure with supporting documents that how I change my name in property tax record.

Step 1: We bought a resale property on 13th April 2016 from Mr. Faraz Rauf (seller) to Mr Manish Singh (buyer). Below sale deed image for your reference.

Step 2: As of 2019 -2020, Previous owner name that Mr. Faraz Rauf (seller) name reflects in tax paid receipt and BBMP record. Below property tax receipt image with name circled for your reference,

Step 3: on 22nd June 2020, we applied for khata transfer. Below acknowledgment receipt form BBMP, for your reference.

Step 4: On 24th Aug 2020, we received SMS from BBMP that our Khata application was approved and proceed with khata transfer fee. We paid the khata transfer fee at Bangaloreone center on 28th Aug 2020. Below payment receipt for your reference.

Step 5: On the same day of bill payment that is on 28th Aug 2020, My Khata certificate was available on Sakala website for download.

Below is the image of download khata certificate. I have circled the new owner’s name in image. That Mr. Manish Singh

Step 6: On 28th Aug 2020, I received a call from BBMP that to collect the hard copy of khata certificate and extract from respective BBMP office.

Step 7: We collected hard copy of khata certificate and extract on 29th August 2020 and below images for your reference.
