REVENUE SITES WITHIN BBMP LIMITS WILL GET KATHA SOON-GOVT

By /

THE CABINET HAS PASSED A RESOLUTION TO BRING IN THE NECESSARY AMENDMENT TO KARNATKA LAND REVENUE ACT IN THE CURRENT PROCEEDINGS IN THE VIDANA SABHA TO REGULARISE THE REVENUE SITES WITHIN BBMP LIMITS AND COLLECT THE CONVERSION CHARGES AND IMPROVEMENT CHARGES.  THIS WILL PAVE WAY FOR THE ISSUE OF BBMP KATHA TO ALL THE REVENUE SITES AND THUS IT WILL GET REGULARISED.  THE GOVT NEED NOT WAIT FOR AKRAMA-SAKRAMA, WHICH IS YET TO COME OUT OF THE HIGH COURT.

BUT ILLEGAL BUILDINGS, BUILDINGS WITH VIOLATIONS AND DEVIATIONS TO BUILDING BYLAWS AND SANCTIONED PLANS HAVE TO WAIT FOR AKRAMA-SAKRAMA.  THE BBMP IS EXPECTED TO MOP UP AROUND RS1,500/- CRORES THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

    hi ecopackindia team,

    i am a layman in real estate issues, kindly help me understand whats the if revenue site is better or DC sites? will i be able to get Katha & be able to sell that site if required.

    1. ecopackindia

      Dear Sir,
      Revenue sites are formed/carved/bifurcated in agricultural lands and is an illegal creation. The land use must be changed from Agriculture to Residential. The Deputy Commissioner`s of the districts are vested with powers under KLR Act to change the use of land, it is called DC conversions.
      We cannot predict the issuance of katha. You cannot sell any property without katha within city limit.
      Please read our blog, it has full fledged publication on revenue sites, dc conversion and katha.

    I have Revenue site in BBMP limit (Not DC converted) ,Plan to construct a house ,will I get A khata for home loan ?

    1. raakesh

      hi Krishnaraj,

      Please read the discussions above, if you might have read you wont ask this Q at all…
      anyways, not DC converted site means, you cannot get Akhata. there is no Akhata/Bkhata as such, Khata will be given to only those lands which have DC conversion by paying better ment charges now BBMP is accepting for that , not to individual plots but for the entire layout. if you want individual khatas for each site, the layout khata has be bifurcated.

      anyway, knowledge team will assist you with their reply.

    Dear Sir,

    I am planing to buy a site in a private layout, near White field (Pattandur)
    This is a converted land of 7.3 acers and layout had been formed long back, I am purchasing this site from the first owner who has A-Khata (Suvarna Khata)
    But I came to know that this layout has not been approved by any Govt department. Can I buy this? what are risks involved in it?

    Regards,
    Suresh

    Hi,
    I have seen a site in Kanakapura Road. I am informed that this land(on which layout was formed) was notified by BDA for formation of BSK 6th Stage in late 90s. Subsequently, this area was released/denotified by BDA. However, the BDA has collected betterment charges. After this, a layout was formed.
    Also, A khatha has been issued by BBMP now.
    1. Since BDA has collected betterment charges, does this mean that this layout does not require any DC conversion ?

    1. ecopackindia

      Dear Sir,
      BBMP issues katha even for BDA notified property and that does not confer clear titles.
      Please examine the whole issue(subject) with an expert and also an advocate who specialises in property related matters and check for compliance to land acquisition act, BDA and KTCP acts.

  13. Raghu

    Hi, I had been to BBMP to understand if they are issuing A Khata for my DC converted site from Gram Panchayat. My site (house already constructed – plan approved by Gram Panchayat) is a part of a layout in chikkakamannahalli, off bannerghatta road. However, someone told me that this is not possible as the akrama-sakrama is on hold. What’s the best way to find out if I can indeed get A Khata or if I am being taken for ride by officials. Please advice.

      1. Raghu

        Thank you sir for the response. I went to BBMP office and was able to meet a revenue officer who has confirmed that they can do A-khata registration and issue a certificate if I am ready to pay the betterment charges.

        I wanted another opinion because the subject and content of this press states that BBMP have still not started to issue A-khata. My dilemma is should I wait or get it done.

        Another question, if you could answer: Why are they collecting betterment charges when the conversion was done by them automatically. Is this a rule?

      2. ecopackindia

        Dear Sir,

        READ and READ the Conversion order thoroughly, before asking questions.

    Sir,I have purchased flat in a Apartment, I was told by BBMP person that if you hold Khatha extract and Khatha Certificate, then it is A – Khatha…
    Is that correct ?

    I check with one of my neighbour, he says it is not A Khatha.

    I would I find whethe it is A-Khatha or B-Khatha?

    Thanks

      Dear Sir,
      How could we know? Can we visualise or dream about the document you have?

    Akrama Sakrama is for building violations also. As this is stuck in Governer office and court case, the Govt. has proposed issuance of ‘A’ khata by collecting developement charges for DC converted sites and conversion charges and development charges for sites without DC conversion. When is this expected.?

    1. ecopackindia

      Dear Sir,
      The BBMP is collecting improvement charges for DC converted sites and are not collecting it for revenue sites. Awaiting orders from the Court for other types of violations.

        Are they collection for D.C converted sites without form 9 (i.e for sites where betterment charges are paid earlier to CMCs ) ?

    I have a site no 7 in Belathur lakshmaiah layout Kadugodi Bangalore 560067. The site was purchased in 1979. It is DC converted. Its measurement is 30×48′ as per regd deed and up to date tax paid. But the site measures only 30×40′ as it is encroached on one side for about the whole length, Almost all sites have undermeasurement. In the meanwhile I was able to get a khatha from BBMP Mahadevpura. I am told by the BBMP officials that it is an A khatha and no betterment fee payable on it. Now I have put the site for sale at Rs 3000 per sq ft. But the mediators are seeing that nobody purchases the site and they are propagating it as B khatha. How to know whether it is A orB khatha? What is the present rate per sq ft in the area?

    1. ecopackindia

      Dear Sir,
      We do not know what kind of katha you have and hence cannot comment. Go to BBMP and Check with ARO. The price in belathur is around Rs1000/- to Rs3,000/- per square feet depending upon the location.
      The buyers will pay for the actual or physical size and not for the extent on the documents.
      Do not worry about agents. They are the same worldwide.
      ecopackindia team

      1. AnantharamaiahBN

        Sir,
        Thank you very much for prompt reply. I have checked with BBMP. They are telling it as an A khatha and I need not worry about others. No betterment fee is payable if there is no building construction and that I can apply for a plan sanction if I am going to construct. Also since there is variation with reference to the extent of site is there any way to confirm whether I am eligible for the extent of land transferred to me in the sale deed. How to get the encroachment cleared and to get the land transferred to me in the sale deed. Is there any govt action that can be invoked?

  34. AnantharamaiahBN

    My mother inlaw having a property at 4356/8,3rd cross.Subramanyanagar Rajajinagar II stage Bangalore560021 died on 04-05-1998. Up to date tax was paid in her name under PID no9-20-8. Her only daughter that is my wife has applied for khatha transfer with ARO Malleshwaram with his no1487/2005. pending for over 6 years. In reply to RTI the ARO has refused to collect the improvement charges payable at Rs50 per sq yard but is asking a reconveyance deed and a PC from BDA. This was applied on 25-07-2011 moved by an RTI on 29-09-2011 for which a reply from BDA recd as its registers are blank no information could be supplied. Unconvinced I have moved an RTI appeal to BDA commissioner dtd 17-11-2011 which is yet to be replied. Meanwhile emails to BDA commissioner are unanswered those to CM are promptly forwarded to BDA for action without followup or time stipulation to settle the case. It is already 7 months and no action. Meanwhile the case worker at BDA when contacted on 24th of february2012 is of the view that our property number has to be reconveyed as 4354 whereas 4354 has already reconveyed to my neighbour. Actually that property should have been reconveyed under no 4353 which is missing. It is not known how BDA reconveyed the property under no 4354 without spot verification or reference to its own map of the area. What was the necessity to reconvey all the neighbouring properties so fast when our property is taking so much time

    Hi Sir,

    I am planning to purchase a property near Ramamurthy Nagar. From sale deed i came to know that this was an ancestral property of Mr. X who sold it in 1988. I don’t have the family tree of Mr. X’s father. It is being nearly 23 years now and it is a vacant land. My question is whether is it possible for any of Mr. X’s siblings to claim this property now? Is it safe to buy this property? I have RTC and EC from 1966 till date. From 1966 to 1988 RTC and EC records Mr. X being the property owner.

    Also i have a generic question apart from the above. Is there any ways one can know if there are any court cases (which is not stand) going on the property? Does any property document record such things?

    If the above are queries are chargeable, can you please share your contact? I would be interested to consult on the above two points.

    Thanks
    Sharat

    Dear Sir,
    Could you please let me know how to get the details about a site whether its a Revenue site or DC converted site ?
    This is because my father bought 2 sites long back. The site next to ours is issued A katha from BBMP but now we could not get katha for our site. So this particular information from you might help me in getting clear info about our site.

    Thanks in advance…

    1. ecopackindia

      Dear Sir,
      Please check your documents. If you find DC Conversion order in your preamble or recital in the sale deed or a copy of the DC Conversion order, in which your site is located or in which this layout is formed, then it is a DC Converted site, otherwise it is revenue site. Please check with your neighbours about the katha.

    Also could you please provide me your contact details so I will get my documents verified from your consultant….

    Thanks in advance…..

  42. Narayan

    The moral of the story is that BDA approval is not everything. This is the fate of private layouts with BDA approval. Now examine the fate of sites directly allotted by BDA. We can recall the story of sites alloted which later turned out to be Turahalli forest land and so Forest Dept was given back that land. The news story told that the allottees were given alternate sites elsewhere. However we heard nothing about the money spent for constructing the houses there and compensation if any for the loss of the same by BDA. Ofcourse the dislocation and the mental agony is something for which the individuals have to fight separately. I think the sufferers should come forward and post their stories.

    1. ecopackindia

      Dear Sir,
      Two years from the date of issuing the possession certificate.
      ecopackindia team

  44. Narayan

    Dear sir,

    Thank you very much for the above reply. In the larger interest of public the Govt. should strictly implement this rule and take back the site if the allottee does not construct and self occupy within this time. This way a large number of sites will become available to the needy public and this will bring sanity into the otherwise insane price of sites in cities like bangalore. One can see large number of empty sites of size like 4000 sq.ft. in places like Yelahanka New Town,bangalore that were allotted some 30 years ago. The owners (allottes or later buyers) are now sitting on super gold mines because such a plot can now fetch nearly 2 crores. Most of the present owners of such plots are not the real needy persons. Similarly one can see nearly 90 % of sites are still vacant in layouts like Anjanapura that were formed more than 8 years back. Instead of setting right this anamoly Govt. goes on notifying the other land to form new layouts. Once an area is notitied, the persons who already has constructed houses live a long period in terrible fear of their land being taken away by BDA. Also others can not sell land once notified. To add to this Govt. has added surrounding villages into BBMP. The sites that were formed previously are now castigated as revenue sites because Govt. is unable to collect conversion and development fee. In contrast the BDA and KHB sites glitter as though they are holy whereas they are also equally unholy except that the Govt. has FAILED to act strictly. If the vacant BDA and KHB sites are taken back, Govt. need not form any new layout and needy persons will get sites at affordable rates.

  45. Narayan

    The strict implementation of the rule that houses should be constructed and self occupied within 2 years of allotment will prevent persons applying for allotment for investment purposes. A large number of applicants are investment oriented. Land should be a commodity of investment. Land is like mother.

  46. Narayan

    sorry, the last but one sentence in the previous post should read as ‘ Land should not be a commodity of investment’.

  47. Narayan

    some good Samaritan must think of filing a PIL in the court to direct the govt. to take back sites that are not self occupied within the stipulated period.

  49. Raj Kumar

    Any update on the regularizatio of revenue sites?

    1. ecopackindia

      Dear Sir,

      There is no update.
      If you have form no.9 and form no.10 registered(genuine), check with the concerned aro office, if your name, property and forms are registered or entries are available, may try to pay the betterment and get the katha.
      ecopackindia team

  50. Narayan

    If anybody could pay betterment charges for sites with forms no.9 and 10, please post your success in this forum so that others could derive help. Ofcourse the reply at BBMP help centres is one like hitting a wall. They simply say that Akrama_sakrama is still pending with Govt.
