Karnataka Launches Scheme to Convert B-Khata to A-Khata from May 16 at Reduced Fee

Starting May 16, Karnataka's government will launch camps under the 'My e-Khata My Hakku' campaign to allow property owners, especially in Bengaluru, to convert b-Khata properties to a-Khata by paying a reduced fee of 2% of the guidance value, down from 5%. This one-time settlement scheme aims to regularize around 7 lakh properties, providing legal clarity, easing property transactions, and addressing issues like loan eligibility and civic approvals. Applications can be submitted within 100 days under this initiative.
