Quick Answer
Khata is unique to the Bangalore property regime. A-khata is issued for properties within approved BBMP/BDA layouts where development conforms to sanctioned plans — these are bankable, transferable, and saleable. B-khata is issued for properties built on unapproved layouts or with deviations — recorded for tax purposes but legally compromised. Buyers should treat B-khata properties as materially defective. Khata transfer (mutation) on sale is mandatory and is filed at the Assistant Revenue Officer (ARO) of the BBMP zone.
