Frequently Asked Questions
E-Aasthi is BBMP’s official digital property record system. It stores verified details such as property ownership, identification, and assessment data in an online format. Introduced to improve transparency, E-Aasthi helps BBMP maintain accurate urban property records. For property owners and buyers, it serves as a reliable reference during verification, legal checks, and due diligence. It does not replace Khata but works alongside it to strengthen property documentation in Bengaluru.
E-Aasthi is not legally mandatory for all transactions yet. However, it is increasingly checked during property registration, bank loans, and legal verification. Many institutions now expect properties to be reflected in E-Aasthi records to avoid documentation gaps. Having your property listed helps prevent delays and strengthens credibility during future transactions, especially within BBMP limits.
E-Aasthi details can be checked through the official Karnataka E-Aasthi portal. Property information can be searched using the ePID (BBMP Property Identification Number) or the owner’s name. The portal displays ownership information, location details, and assessment-linked data, helping users confirm whether a property is officially recorded and whether details match physical documents.
Yes, E-Aasthi documents can be downloaded if the property record is digitised. Once the property is located on the portal, downloadable options such as E-Aasthi extracts or Municipal Record Copies (MRC) may be available. These documents are commonly used for verification, due diligence, and professional review during property transactions.
E-Aasthi is used for property identification and verification, while E-Khata is used for property tax assessment and collection. E-Aasthi establishes the digital identity of a property, whereas E-Khata manages taxation records. Both serve different purposes and are often reviewed together during property sales, loan processing, and legal checks.
E-Aasthi is not legally compulsory for selling property, but it is widely checked during transactions. Buyers, banks, and legal professionals often verify E-Aasthi records as part of due diligence. A verified E-Aasthi entry helps reduce concerns about ownership authenticity and documentation accuracy, making the transaction smoother.
ePID is a unique electronic identification number assigned to each property by BBMP. It links the property to its digital records within the E-Aasthi system. ePID simplifies property searches, reduces duplication, and improves accuracy during verification. Using ePID is the most reliable way to locate property details online.
No, E-Aasthi applies only to urban properties under BBMP and other Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). Panchayat and rural properties are recorded under the E-Swathu system. Both are government platforms but operate under different authorities and jurisdictions.
If a property is not visible in E-Aasthi, it usually indicates non-digitisation or a data mismatch. Property owners may need to approach BBMP for clarification or correction. Older properties often face delays due to incomplete legacy records, and proper documentation with departmental follow-up is typically required.
E-Aasthi supports property verification, while property tax is handled through E-Khata. Although E-Aasthi does not directly manage tax payments, having an updated E-Aasthi record helps ensure smoother tax assessment, verification, and administrative processes.
