How Does e-Aasthi Search Property by Name Work?
e-Aasthi search by name uses the owner's name as one of the property details used to identify a record. For Bengaluru properties, the e-Aasthi system is connected with property records maintained by the civic administration.
The Greater Bengaluru Authority currently lists e-Aasthi among its online citizen services. The system is part of the wider digital property-record process used for e-Khata and related property information.
The name search is useful when you know the registered or recorded owner's name but don't have the property identification details immediately available.
However, a name alone shouldn't be treated as final proof that a property belongs to a particular person. Similar names can appear in property records, and a record may contain outdated or incomplete information.
For example, if you search for "Ramesh Kumar", the result should be checked against other property details such as the address, property identification number, ward or other information displayed by the system.
The Karnataka property-tax rules also recognise property identifiers such as the BBMP Property Unique ID/PID and SAS Application Number as part of property records. These identifiers are useful when confirming that the record you found actually relates to the property you are looking for.
If you're checking a property before a sale, transfer or khata-related application, don't stop after finding the name. Match the available property details with your sale deed and other records.

How to Search Property by Name on e-Aasthi?
You can start an e-Aasthi property search by entering the owner's name through the available property-search or e-Aasthi service. The exact fields shown can change as the civic body updates its online system.
Step 1: Open the e-Aasthi Property Search
Open the e-Aasthi service i,e. https://bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in/
The Greater Bengaluru Authority website currently lists e-Aasthi under its e-Services section. Use the official civic portal rather than a third-party website when entering property information.
Step 2: Select the Name-Based Search Option
Look for the available property-search option that allows property details to be entered using the owner's name.
The fields displayed may vary depending on the current version of the portal and the property service you are accessing. If the portal asks for additional information, provide the details available in your property documents.
Step 3: Enter the Property Owner's Name
Enter the owner's name as it appears in the available property record.
Try the correct spelling first. If the name has initials, multiple spellings or differences between English and Kannada records, check whether the portal provides another search field that can narrow the result.
A name search can return more than one record where different properties have owners with the same or similar names.
Step 4: Review the Property Record
Once the result appears, don't select a property based only on the owner's name.
Compare the displayed property information with the documents you already have. Check the property address, PID or other property identifier, ward details and other available information.
The current GBA property-list service also displays fields such as PID number, corporation, zone, constituency, ward, property details and area.
Step 5: Match the Property Details Before Using the Record
The final step is to match the online record with your physical property documents.
Check the name, property address and identification details against your sale deed, previous khata records, property-tax documents or other relevant records.
If the details don't match, don't assume that the online record is correct simply because the owner's name is the same.
What Can You Check After Finding a Property by Name?
After finding a property through e-Aasthi search by name, check the property address, PID number, ward, zone and other available property details to confirm that you have found the correct record. A name search identifies a civic record; ownership is established through the registered deed and other legal documents.
You can use the details shown in the e-Aasthi record to:
Confirm the property location: Match the address with the property you own or are checking.
Check the PID number: Use the Property Identification Number to distinguish the record from properties with similar owner names.
Check the ward and zone: Compare the civic location details with your property documents.
Review property details and area: Check whether the recorded property details match the property on the ground and in your documents.
Compare the owner's name: Look for differences in spelling, initials or the name shown in your registered documents.
For example, if an e-Aasthi name search shows three properties under “Suresh Kumar,” the PID, address, ward and property details can help you identify the relevant record instead of selecting one based only on the name.
If the property details match but the owner's name differs from your current registered documents, check the reason for the difference before using the record for a sale, transfer or khata-related process.
If your e-Aasthi details don't match your documents, it's better to check the records before starting an e-Khata application. Check e-Khata
What If e-Aasthi Search Property by Name Does Not Show a Record?
If your name doesn't produce the expected property record, first check the spelling and try the property details available in your documents. A missing result doesn't automatically mean that the property has no civic record.
Bengaluru's property-record system has gone through several digitisation and jurisdiction changes. In 2025, the civic administration reported cases where residents in newly incorporated areas found that their names or property details were missing from existing records. The guidance in those cases was to apply for a new e-Khata where the property was not available in the relevant records.
There can also be differences between an older property record and the current digital record. A name may have changed after a sale, inheritance, partition, gift or other transfer, while the corresponding civic record may require updating.
Start by checking these details:
Confirm the owner's name and spelling.
Check whether initials are used in the property documents.
Try the property address or other available property identifier.
Compare the result with the latest property-tax record.
Check whether the property falls within the relevant civic jurisdiction.
Compare the online record with the registered sale deed.
The 2024 BBMP property-tax rules also show how registered property transactions are communicated between the Sub-Registrar and the revenue administration, including information such as PID/SAS numbers, transferor and transferee names and registration details.
If the online record and your registered documents don't agree, don't rely on the name search alone. The discrepancy should be checked before using the record for a property transaction.
