Frequently Asked Questions
E-Khata applications are commonly rejected due to document mismatches, missing land conversion records, revenue-site status, and non-approved layouts. Frequent reasons include incorrect survey numbers, outdated tax receipts, mismatch between sale deed and uploaded details, and absence of supporting documents such as Form 9 and 11B.
To correct mistakes, a rectification request must be filed along with supporting documents such as the latest sale deed, tax paid receipts, identity and address proof, approved layout plan, affidavit for corrections, and Form 9/11B for village properties. The rectified application status can be tracked on the official GBA or BBMP portal.

Documents generally required include the registered sale deed, latest encumbrance certificate, tax-paid receipts, Form 9 and 11B for village properties, conversion certificate, RTC/Pahani, approved layout plan, and Aadhaar ID. Missing documents commonly lead to rejection.
E-Khata status can be checked online through the GBA or BBMP portal using the application number, property details, or registered mobile number. If rejected, the portal displays the exact reason such as document mismatch or jurisdiction issues.
The Round Robin system resulted in 5,648 E-Khata rejections due to jurisdiction mismatches, inconsistent scrutiny, and lack of field verification. Applications were routed to officers outside their mapped areas, leading to errors and public inconvenience.
To prevent rejection, ensure all documents are consistent, confirm layout approval and land conversion, apply under the correct jurisdiction, upload accurate details, and verify records before submission. Most rejections occur due to clerical errors or incomplete documentation.
