With the new rules, around six lakh B-khata properties are expected to come under the BBMP’s tax ambit. BBMP can soon release a notification in this regard.

To qualify, the property must be connected to public roads. For revenue land, the survey number must be officially converted under the updated Karnataka Land Revenue Act. The property also needs to be within Bengaluru's revised master plan and have either individual site or layout approval.

Owners will have to get Occupancy Certificates before an A-khata can be issued for multi-storey buildings. After this is done, the BBMP will review the conversion process according to the new law.
