E Khata Name Correction: Process & Documents in Bangalore
If your name is incorrect in your e-Khata, you can request a correction through the BBMP e-Aasthi portal by locating your property record, checking the owner details, providing the correct name and submitting supporting documents. The correction process depends on the type of mismatch, such as a spelling error, incorrect initials or a genuine legal name change. For Bengaluru properties, the official e-Aasthi system provides online access to draft e-Khata and related property-record services.
How to Correct Your Name in e-Khata Online?
If your draft e-Khata has a spelling or name mismatch, you can raise the issue through the official e-Aasthi system before the final e-Khata is issued. However, if your e-Khata has already been finalised, the correction may need to be taken up with the concerned Assistant Revenue Officer (ARO) or revenue office, along with documents proving the correct name. The current e-Aasthi portal confirms that draft e-Khata is based on the existing property-tax register and that citizens can submit additional information online for final e-Khata.
Step 1: Check Which Name Problem You Have
Before starting the process, check whether you need a name correction or a Khata transfer.
Your situation | What you need |
|---|---|
Your name is already shown as the owner, but the spelling or initials are wrong | e-Khata name correction |
Your name is shown differently from your registered deed | Check the supporting documents before correction |
The property has been sold, gifted or transferred to another person | Khata transfer/mutation, not simple name correction |
The draft e-Khata shows the wrong owner | Ownership/Khata record correction, not just a spelling correction |
The draft e-Khata is correct but the final record has an error | Correction through the concerned revenue authority |
For example, if your sale deed says “Suresh Kumar R” but the draft e-Khata says “Suresh Kumar”, this is a name mismatch that should be checked as a correction. But if the property was sold to another person and the previous owner's name still appears, the issue is an ownership transfer and should not be treated as a simple spelling correction.
If you actually need a Khata transfer, direct the reader to the relevant Khata Transfer service instead of taking them through the e-Khata correction steps.
Step 2: Raise the Correction Online
If the incorrect name appears in your draft e-Khata, start by accessing the official e-Aasthi system. The current portal allows citizens to search their e-Khata using the Property ePID, SAS Property Tax ID or ward-based property search.
After locating the property:
Log in to the e-Aasthi citizen portal using your mobile number and OTP.
Open your draft e-Khata and check the owner's name.
Compare the name with your registered deed and identity proof to identify the exact mismatch.
Raise the applicable correction/objection request available for the draft record, providing the correct owner details.
Upload the documents supporting the correct name, such as the registered deed and identity proof, along with any additional document relevant to the reason for the mismatch.
Submit the request and save the acknowledgement/application details for future reference.
The official e-Aasthi portal states that citizens can view and download their draft e-Khata after mobile/OTP login and can submit additional information online for obtaining the final e-Khata. It also states that citizens can file an objection against issuance of a final e-Khata.
Important: Do not assume that every draft e-Khata will show an identical “name correction” button or workflow. The available action can depend on the record and the stage of the e-Khata application.
Step 3: Approach the Concerned Revenue Office
If your e-Khata has already been finalised and the owner's name is incorrect, do not keep repeating the draft e-Khata process.
First compare the final e-Khata with your registered deed, existing Khata record and identity proof. If the online e-Aasthi system does not provide a route to correct the final record, take the supporting documents to the concerned Assistant Revenue Officer (ARO)/revenue office for correction.
The BBMP Revenue Department maintains ARO and revenue-office details for different Bengaluru divisions and wards.
Carry:
Registered sale deed or other title document
Existing/final e-Khata
Khata certificate or extract, if available
Identity proof
Latest property-tax receipt
Document supporting a legal name change, if applicable
Copy of the online application/acknowledgement, if one was previously submitted
Ask the concerned office to verify the mismatch against the underlying property record rather than simply changing the name without checking the source document.
Step 4: Verify the Correction After It Is Processed
After the correction is accepted, check the updated e-Khata and compare the owner's name with the registered property document.
Check the full name, initials, spelling and name order. Also confirm that the correction relates to the correct property by checking the ePID or other property identification details.
If the name is still incorrect, keep your acknowledgement and supporting documents ready for follow-up with the concerned revenue office. The official e-Aasthi system also provides an e-Khata application-status facility, and its current citizen portal lists 9480683695 as the e-Khata helpline.
What Documents Are Required for e Khata Name Correction?
The documents required for e-Khata name correction depend on why the owner's name is incorrect. A registered title document and identity proof are commonly important because they help establish the correct name, while other records may be needed depending on the correction.
The official e-Aasthi document list currently identifies the following documents for applications through Bangalore One or the citizen portal:
Document | Why it may be needed |
|---|---|
Registered title deed | Establishes the property transaction and owner's legal details |
Identity proof | Supports the identity of the owner |
Khata certificate/extract/endorsement | Helps establish the existing Khata record |
Current property-tax paid receipt | Supports the current property-tax record |
Property photograph | Helps identify and verify the property associated with the e-Khata record |
Owner's photograph | Helps establish the identity of the owner submitting the e-Khata application or correction request. |
For a name change caused by marriage or another legal event, an additional document establishing that change may be relevant. The exact supporting documents should match the reason for the correction.
1. Spelling Mistake in the Owner Name
If the problem is only a spelling mistake, the registered title deed and identity proof can help establish the correct version of the name.
For example, if the e-Khata says “Mahesh Kumar” but the registered deed says “Maheshkumar”, the documents should be reviewed before submitting the correction.
2. Initial or Name-Order Mismatch
An initial mismatch should also be checked against the registered property document.
For example, “R. Anil Kumar” and “Anil Kumar R” may refer to the same person, but the supporting documents should be checked before changing the official property record.
3. Name Change After Marriage or Legal Name Change
If the owner's legal name has changed, a simple spelling-correction request may not be enough to explain the difference.
In such cases, provide the document that establishes the name change along with the owner's identity and property documents, where applicable.
4. Previous Owner's Name Still Appears
If the e-Khata continues to show the previous owner's name after a property transaction, first determine whether the issue is actually a name correction or whether the ownership record itself has not been updated.
A registered sale, gift, release or partition deed may be relevant to establishing the current owner's details. The official e-Aasthi document list specifically recognises title deeds such as sale, gift, release and partition deeds.
What If the Name Is Wrong in the Final e-Khata?
If the name is incorrect in a final e-Khata, first check whether the available online e-Aasthi service allows the correction. If it does not, retain your property documents and application details and seek clarification through the concerned Bengaluru revenue authority.
A draft e-Khata and a final e-Khata should not be treated as the same stage of the record. The current e-Aasthi portal states that draft e-Khata is issued according to the existing BBMP Property Tax Register, while citizens provide additional information online for getting a final e-Khata.
This means a name mismatch should be traced back to the underlying record rather than simply changing the name without checking the supporting documents.
Check whether the same name appears across:
Registered property document
Existing Khata record
Property-tax record
e-Khata
Owner identity document
If the documents show different names, the issue may require more than a basic spelling correction.
The official e-Aasthi system also provides application-status tracking through the EPID, while the Greater Bengaluru Authority currently lists 9480683695 as the e-Khata/New Khata helpline.
How Can You Avoid Rejection of e Khata Name Correction?
The best way to avoid problems is to make sure the corrected name is supported by your property and identity documents before submitting the request. A mismatch between the documents can make a simple name correction more difficult.
Before submitting, check the following:
Match the Name With the Registered Property Document
Use the name recorded in the relevant registered deed as your main reference when checking an ownership-name mismatch.
Do not rely only on how the name appears on a bank account, electricity bill or other unrelated record.
Check Initials and Spelling
Look carefully at initials, spaces, spelling and name order.
A single missing initial can create a mismatch between the e-Khata and the registered deed.
Upload Clear Documents
Make sure the documents are readable and contain the relevant information needed to establish the correct name.
The official e-Aasthi system specifies document requirements for citizen applications and also places conditions on uploaded documents in certain services.
Do Not Treat Ownership Transfer as a Name Correction
A spelling mistake and an ownership transfer are different situations.
If the property was sold, gifted, released or transferred to another owner, the relevant ownership or mutation process may be required instead of simply correcting the existing owner's spelling.
Save Your Application Details
Keep your application acknowledgement, EPID and copies of the submitted documents.
If you need to follow up later, these details make it easier to identify the property and application.
