#THtalksBengaluru: New system for those who don’t have manual khata coming soon

A software will soon be rolled out for those without manual khatas to get their e-khatas, said Munish Moudgil, Special Commissioner, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike. We will issue them a draft e-khata and property ID, after which they can pay the tax, and we will issue the final khata on that,” he said, participating in the #THTalksBengaluru interactive programme at The Hindu office here on Thursday. He also said the BBMP is releasing a new module for builders creating vertical developments to get e-khata: “This is not one of those 22 lakh khatas which are already on our list and released. Basically, a new software or a module for new khatas is being released for vertical flats, where the builder will get the first khata that will be released in around five to seven days.” Faceless, contactless Explaining the rationale behind introducing e-khata, Mr. Moudgil said it aims to be faceless and contactless and to give citizens full control over their e-khata. English versions soon Responding to questions about the lack of English versions of the application in a cosmopolitan city like Bengaluru, Mr Moudgil said the BBMP is working towards bringing out more detailed English versions, including the e-khata, which will be made available in the next 10 days.
