E-Khata refers to electronic khata or computerized khata that can be filed by property owners.  It enables property owners to pay their property tax online.

A property owner in Karnataka can avail E-khata only if the concerned property has been issued a valid khata as well as a PID (Property Identification) number. The khata and PID number is received by a property owner only after a thorough government verification of the property.

Any property that is listed under the able to avail E-Khata properties do not have PID numbers. Only those properties registered under the A khata and having a PID number assigned to them can obtain E-Khata.

A Khata Certificate is a legal document that identifies you as the owner of your property. It’s an essential document required for property transactions and utilities like water and electricity. It’s also required for trade licenses, building construction permits, and sale permits. If you don’t have a Khata Certificate, you can face legal complications, fines, and delays in selling your property. Here are five benefits of getting a Khata Certificate for your property

In Karnataka, a sale deed is a crucial legal document that officially transfers property ownership from seller to buyer, and its registration is essential for legal recognition of ownership. The process involves several steps, including document preparation, stamp duty payment, registration fee payment, document submission, and verification at the Sub-Registrar’s office.

Key Aspects of Sale Deed Registration in Karnataka:

Drafting the Sale Deed: The sale deed details the property, sale price, and terms agreed upon by both parties.

Stamp Duty and Fees: Payment of stamp duty (based on property value) and registration fees are mandatory.

Document Verification: Original documents, including identity proof and ownership documents, need to be submitted for verification.

Execution and Registration: The sale deed is signed by both parties and witnesses, then submitted for registration at the Sub-Registrar’s office.

An Encumbrance Certificate (EC) is a legal document that confirms whether a property is free from any financial or legal liabilities such as loans, mortgages, or disputes. Issued by the Sub-Registrar’s office, it provides a record of all registered transactions related to the property during a specific period. This certificate is essential for property buyers and banks to ensure the title is clear before a sale or loan approval. There are two types of EC: one showing encumbrances (Form 15) and one confirming none exist (Form 16). It can be obtained online or offline by submitting property details, ownership proof, and paying a small fee.

Tax assessment refers to the process by which a government authority evaluates and determines the amount of tax that an individual, business, or property owner is required to pay. In the context of property, tax assessment involves calculating the value of a property and applying the applicable tax rate to determine the annual property tax. This is usually done by the local municipal body based on factors like property size, location, type (residential or commercial), and usage. The assessed value may be revised periodically, and the tax demand is issued accordingly. Property owners must pay the tax within the due date to avoid penalties or legal action.
