B Khata to A Khata Conversion Charges in Bangalore

The B Khata to A Khata conversion charge in Bangalore is 5% of the property's government guidance value as of September 2026. The temporary 2% concession under the Bhu Guarantee initiative ended on August 23, 2026. In addition to the conversion charge, the B-to-A Khata application fee is ₹500 and is payable upfront. The total cost may vary depending on the property's applicable government charges and requirements. 

How Much Are B Khata to A Khata Conversion Charges in Bangalore?

The current B Khata to A Khata conversion charge in Bangalore is 5% of the property's government guidance value. The temporary 2% concession available under the Bhu Guarantee initiative ended on August 23, 2026, so new applications are subject to the standard 5% rate. The official BBMP B-to-A Khata portal also requires applicants to pay applicable prescribed fees, including charges under Section 95 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act, 1964, where applicable.

Check Eligibility Before Calculating the Charge

Paying the 5% charge does not by itself make every B Khata property eligible for A Khata conversion. Before calculating the amount, check whether your property meets the current conversion conditions.

For the current B-to-A Khata route, the property should generally meet these conditions:

• The B Khata must have been recorded in the BBMP system on or before September 30, 2024, according to current guidance on the eligibility cut-off.

• Property tax dues must be cleared before the application is processed.

• The property must not fall on land reserved for roads, parks, storm-water drains or other public infrastructure.

• Where the property involves agricultural or revenue land, the applicable land-conversion requirement under Section 95 must be satisfied. The official BBMP portal specifically lists conversion charges among the applicable payment requirements.

• The current BBMP portal states that the B-to-A route requires a valid and approved Final e-Khata issued in Form-B before applying.

• The standard single-plot route covers properties up to 2,000 sq. metres; the official portal directs properties above that size to apply through an enrolled architect or engineer using the BPAS system.

If your property does not meet the applicable conditions, calculating the 5% fee alone will not tell you whether the property can actually be converted.

B Khata to A Khata Conversion Charge Example

Once eligibility is confirmed, the main conversion charge can be calculated using:

Guidance value × 5% = conversion charge

For example, if your property's applicable guidance value is ₹60 lakh, the 5% conversion charge would be:

₹60,00,000 × 5% = ₹3,00,000

The earlier 2% concession would have resulted in a ₹1,20,000 charge for the same guidance value, but that temporary rate ended on August 23, 2026. New applications after the concession period are subject to the standard rate.

Current B Khata to A Khata Cost Example

*The minimum known cost above includes only the 5% conversion charge and ₹500 application fee. Additional prescribed charges, including land-conversion charges where applicable and other applicable fees, can increase the final amount. The official BBMP portal requires applicants to pay applicable prescribed fees and specifically lists conversion charges and other applicable fees.

The ₹500 application fee is paid when registering the application, while the conversion-related amount is based on the applicable government valuation and property circumstances. The official B-to-A Khata system requires Aadhaar-based e-KYC and lists the applicable fee payments as part of the process.

So, if your property has a ₹60 lakh guidance value, you should budget at least ₹3,00,500 for the 5% conversion charge plus the application fee, before adding any applicable or other prescribed charges.

The final amount should be confirmed through the official BBMP B-to-A Khata portal before payment because the portal generates the applicable payment requirements for the property.

What Other Costs Can Add to B Khata to A Khata Conversion?

The 5% conversion charge should not automatically be treated as the total amount you may spend on regularising a B Khata property. Your final cost can be higher if the property needs additional documentation, technical work or compliance before the application can be completed.

For example, a property owner may need help preparing or correcting property records, obtaining technical drawings, checking land records or resolving discrepancies between documents. These are different from the government conversion charge itself.

It is also useful to separate government charges from professional service fees. A government fee is paid to the relevant authority. A private professional may separately charge for document checking, technical preparation, application assistance or follow-up.

The exact additional amount cannot be given as one fixed figure for every property because the requirements can differ from one property to another.

The GBA currently lists “B to A Khata / Single Plot Khata” as an official e-service, confirming that the conversion process is handled within its current property-record system.

This is why owners should avoid comparing their total expected cost with a neighbour's bill. Two properties can have different documentation and compliance requirements even when their market values are similar.

What Can Increase Your B Khata to A Khata Conversion Cost?

Although the 5% conversion charge is the figure most property owners look at first, the total cost can vary depending on the property. Land-conversion requirements, document corrections, additional approvals and professional assistance may add to the amount you spend on the conversion.

That is why the 5% figure should be treated as the conversion charge, rather than assuming it represents the complete amount you will spend.

Land Conversion or Section 95 Charges

If the property involves agricultural land that requires conversion to non-agricultural use, applicable Section 95 land-conversion charges may need to be paid separately. The amount depends on the property and the applicable government rules, so it should not be added as one fixed charge to every B Khata conversion.

The official BBMP B-to-A Khata application system specifically includes applicable conversion charges among the payments that may arise during the process. This means a property owner should check whether this requirement applies to the property instead of assuming that the 5% conversion charge is the complete government cost.

Document or Record Corrections

A mismatch between the sale deed, Khata record, property tax details, survey information or other property records can require correction before the conversion application can proceed.

For example, if the owner's name or property details differ across records, additional documentation or correction work may be required. Any professional fee for obtaining or correcting such records is separate from the government conversion charge.

Building or Property Compliance

Issues relating to the property's construction, layout or land status can also affect the conversion process. A property that requires additional compliance should not be treated as having a simple 5% + ₹500 final cost.

This is why it is better to check the property's eligibility and records before paying the conversion amount. The 5% charge tells you the main conversion cost; it does not guarantee that no other property-specific expenses will arise.

How Can You Avoid Paying More for B Khata to A Khata Conversion?

The best way to control B Khata to A Khata conversion costs is to check the property's records before submitting the application. Finding a document mismatch or eligibility issue early is usually easier than discovering it after the application has already moved through the system.

Check These Documents Before Applying

Keep the core property records ready, including:

• Existing B Khata or e-Khata record

• Registered sale deed or other ownership document

• Latest property tax records

• Applicable land-conversion documents

• Layout approval records, where applicable

• Building plan or related technical documents, where applicable

• Survey and property identification details

• Owner identity documents

Verify the Property Before Paying the Conversion Fee

Check the guidance value used for the calculation and confirm that the property details in the municipal records match the ownership documents.

You should also check whether the property falls within the applicable conversion route and whether any land, layout or construction issue needs attention first.

This is especially useful for NRIs and owners living outside Bengaluru. A document problem that looks minor on paper can lead to repeated visits or requests for clarification when handled without a proper record check.

The government's current portal structure also shows that B-to-A conversion is a distinct service from ordinary Khata-related services. (GBA Karnataka)
