What Is e-Khata Status and Why You Need to Track It

Your Application Goes Through Multiple Stages Before the e-Khata Is Issued

When you apply for a new e-Khata, Khata transfer, or Khata correction on the BBMP e-Aasthi portal, the application does not get approved instantly. It goes through a review process involving the Case Worker (CW) and the Assistant Revenue Officer (ARO) at your BBMP ward.

Tracking the e-Khata status tells you exactly where in this chain your application is sitting  and whether you need to act.

Who Handles Your Application

Role

Typical Time

System (Automatic)

Application receives an acknowledgement number and is queued

Instant

Case Worker (CW)

Initial document check  verifies uploaded files are legible and complete

1 to 3 working days

Assistant Revenue Officer (ARO)

Substantive review verifies ownership, property details, and title documents. May raise queries or schedule a site visit.

5 to 15 working days

ARO Final Approval

ARO signs off on the e-Khata digitally. Draft e-Khata is generated.

1 to 2 working days after review

Ready for Download / Sub-Registrar

Approved e-Khata is available to download from the portal for ₹125.

Immediately after approval

Under Karnataka's Sakala Services Act, BBMP must process Khata applications within 30 working days. If your application crosses this threshold without action, you have the right to escalate.

Method 1: Check e-Khata Application Status by Application Number

Use This If You Applied Recently and Have Your Acknowledgement Number

This is the primary status-checking method. It works for all standard e-Khata applications submitted via the citizen login on the e-Aasthi portal.

What you need: your Application Number (from the acknowledgement receipt downloaded when you submitted your application) and your registered mobile number.

Step 1: Go to the Application Status Page

Open your browser and navigate directly to:https://bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in/citizen_core/EkhataApplicationStatus

Step 2:  Log In with Mobile OTP

Click 'Login' or enter your registered mobile number on the status page.

Click 'Get OTP'. Enter the OTP sent to your mobile within 30 seconds.

Click 'Submit' to proceed.

Step 3:  Enter Your Application Number

In the search field, enter the Application Number from your acknowledgement receipt.

This is a numeric code generated when you submitted your application. It appears on the acknowledgement PDF you downloaded at submission.

If you did not save it: log in to the main portal at bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in and check 'My Applications' or 'Application History'.

Step 4: Read Your Status Result

After clicking Search, the portal displays your current application status.

The status label shown will correspond to one of the stages listed in the next section of this guide.

If a query has been raised by the CW or ARO, the query details will appear here. You must respond to it online before the application can move forward.

Where to Find Your Application Number If You Lost It

  1. Log in to bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in with your mobile OTP.

  2. Click 'eKhata' in the top navigation menu.

  3. Select 'My Applications' or 'Application History'.

  4. Your submitted applications and their reference numbers will be listed with dates.

  5. Alternatively, check your email inbox for the acknowledgement email sent at the time of submission.

Method 2: Check Final e-Khata Status by ePID Number

Use This If Your Application Is Approved and You Have Your ePID

Once your application is approved and the final e-Khata is generated, you can check its status using your ePID (Electronic Property ID). This method also tells you whether the e-Khata is ready to download.

Your ePID is a 10-digit number assigned to your property in the e-Aasthi system. It appears on:

  • Your e-Khata acknowledgement receipt

  • Any previously downloaded e-Khata PDF

  • The main portal's property search results when you search by owner name or SAS ID

Step 1:  Go to the Final e-Khata Status Page

Step 2:  Enter Your 10-Digit ePID Number

Type your ePID in the search field.

Double-check: ePID is exactly 10 digits. No spaces, dashes, or letters.

Click 'Search'.

Step 3: View Status and Download Option

The page will show the current status of your final e-Khata:

  • If 'Approved' or 'Ready for Download'  a Download button will appear.

  • If 'Pending' or 'Under Review'  the application is still being processed.

  • If 'Draft Generated'  a draft has been created; check for any correction requests before downloading.

To download: click 'Proceed to Pay' and pay ₹125. Your ePID is the PDF password.

Method 3: Check New Khata Application Status

Use This If You Applied for a Brand-New Khata (No Existing BBMP Khata)

If your property had no Khata at all and you applied via the New Khata portal (bbmp.karnataka.gov.in/newkhata), your status is tracked separately from the main e-Aasthi application flow.

Step 1: Go to the New Khata Status Page

Navigate directly to: https://bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in/citizen_core/EkhataApplicationStatus

Step 2:  Enter Your Application Reference Number

Enter the reference number from your New Khata application acknowledgement.

Click 'Search'. The page will display your current status, the stage your application is at, and whether any additional documents have been requested.

What Do the Status Stages Mean?

Every e-Khata Application Status Label Explained

Once you check your status, you will see one of the following labels. Here is exactly what each means and what action you should take:

Stage 1: Application Submitted / Acknowledgement Generated

What it means: Your application has been submitted and has received an acknowledgement number. It is now in the queue awaiting review by the Case Worker.

What to do: No action needed. Wait 2–3 working days for it to move to the next stage. Save your acknowledgement number.

Stage 2: Application Is with Case Worker (CW)

What it means: The Case Worker is conducting an initial document check, verifying that your uploaded files (sale deed, EC, tax receipt, Aadhaar, property photo) are legible, complete, and correctly uploaded.

What to do: Wait. If the CW raises a query (document missing, blurry file, wrong document type)  it will appear on the status page. Log in and respond with the correct document upload immediately.

Stage 3: Application Is with ARO (Assistant Revenue Officer)

What it means: This is the substantive review stage. The ARO is verifying ownership, property title, Aadhaar KYC match, property details, and may physically inspect the site for some applications.

What to do: Wait. This is the longest stage, typically 5–15 working days. Check the status page every 3–4 days. If a query is raised here, respond within 7 days to avoid your application being returned.

Stage 4: Query Raised / Documents Pending

What it means: The CW or ARO has raised a specific question or requested an additional document before they can process the application. This is a hold state the application does not move until you respond.

What to do: URGENT  log in immediately. Read the query carefully. Upload the requested document or write a response. Typical queries: name mismatch, blurry EC, missing BESCOM bill, wrong property area declared.

Stage 5: Site Inspection Scheduled

What it means: The ARO has scheduled a physical site inspection of your property before approving the e-Khata. This is common for New Khata applications and some correction cases.

What to do: Ensure someone is at the property on the scheduled date. The Revenue Inspector (RI) will visit to verify that the property exists at the address, matches the declared area, and has no encroachments.

Stage 6: Draft e-Khata Generated

What it means: The ARO has reviewed your documents and a preliminary e-Khata has been generated. This is a draft, not the final document. You can view it on the portal to check for errors.

What to do: Log in and check the draft e-Khata carefully. Verify: owner name, property address, ward, zone, built-up area, and Khata type (A or B). If anything is wrong, raise a correction request from the portal BEFORE the final e-Khata is issued.

Stage 7: Signed by ARO / Approved

What it means: The ARO has digitally signed the e-Khata. The final e-Khata is now approved and available for download from the portal.

What to do: Log in and download your e-Khata. Pay ₹125 download fee. Use your ePID as the PDF password. Verify all details in the downloaded PDF. Save a copy to cloud storage.

Stage 8: Ready for Registration at Sub-Registrar

What it means: Your verified e-Khata is fully approved and can now be used for property registration at the Sub-Registrar Office. This label appears specifically when an immediate sale flag was selected during application.

What to do: Your e-Khata is transaction-ready. Download it, verify it, and proceed with your property registration at the SRO. Carry the e-Khata printout and the downloaded PDF.

Stage 9: Rejected

What it means: Your application has been rejected. The portal will show the rejection reason  typically: incorrect documents, mismatched owner name, property not in BBMP jurisdiction, duplicate application, or pending tax dues.

What to do: Read the rejection reason carefully. Fix the issue  clear tax dues, correct name, upload right documents. Then reapply. If you believe the rejection is incorrect, file an appeal with the Joint Commissioner of Revenue.

Draft e-Khata vs Final e-Khata: What Is the Difference?

Why Your Status Might Show 'Draft Generated' and Not 'Approved'

Category

Draft e-Khata

Final e-Khata

What it is

A preliminary version generated after ARO review, before formal digital signing

The digitally signed, legally valid e-Khata certificate

When it appears

After ARO review stage is complete  before final approval

After ARO digitally signs the document

Can you download it?

You can view it on the portal to check for errors. Not the official document.

Yes  pay ₹125 and download the digitally signed PDF

Is it legally valid?

No  draft only. Do not submit to banks or SRO.

Yes  accepted by SRO, banks, BESCOM, BWSSB

What to do at this stage

Review all details carefully. If any error found, raise a correction request immediately before it becomes final.

Download, save, and verify all details in the PDF

ePID visible?

Yes, your ePID is assigned at this stage

Yes, ePID is the PDF password

Always Check the Draft Before Final Approval

Once the final e-Khata is digitally signed, corrections become harder and require a fresh rectification application.

At the draft stage, you can raise a correction directly via the portal faster and more simply.

Common errors found at the draft stage: wrong built-up area, incorrect owner name spelling, wrong Khata type (A when it should be B or vice versa), and wrong ward or zone.

Log in to bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in and view your draft before the ARO signs it off.

  • Application status tracking and query response on your behalf

  • ARO follow-up and escalation via Sakala when applications exceed 30 working days

Frequently Asked Questions

There are three ways, depending on what you have. (1) By Application Number: go to bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in/citizen_core/EkhataApplicationStatus, log in with mobile OTP, and enter your application number. (2) By ePID: go to bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in/citizen_core/Final_eKhatha_Status_based_on_ePID and enter your 10-digit ePID. (3) For New Khata applications: go to bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in/citizen_core/NewEkhataStatus. All three methods are available 24/7 without any fee.

It means your e-Khata application has passed the initial Case Worker check and is now with the Assistant Revenue Officer (ARO) for substantive review. The ARO verifies your ownership documents, Aadhaar KYC, property details, and may physically inspect the site. This is the longest stage, typically taking 5–15 working days. Check the status portal every 3–4 days during this stage, as the ARO may raise a query that requires your response.

'Signed by ARO' means your e-Khata application has been approved and the ARO has digitally signed the e-Khata certificate. This is the final approval stage. Your e-Khata is now available to download from the portal. Go to bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in/citizen_core/Final_eKhatha_Status_based_on_ePID or bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in/office/frmKhathaDownload.aspx, enter your ePID, pay ₹125, and download the digitally signed PDF.

A Draft e-Khata is a preliminary version generated after ARO review but before the ARO's digital signature. It allows you to check for errors before the document is finalised. A Final e-Khata is the digitally signed, legally valid certificate that can be used at the SRO, banks, and government offices. If your status shows 'Draft Generated', log in and review the draft carefully for errors. Raise a correction request if anything is wrong before it becomes final.

For clean applications with correct documents: 2–3 working days for verified e-Khata (as of early 2026, per BBMP improvements). Standard applications typically take 7–15 working days. Applications requiring site inspection can take 30–45 days. Under Karnataka's Sakala Services Act, BBMP is legally mandated to process Khata applications within 30 working days. If your application exceeds this, escalate via sakala.karnataka.gov.in.

Log in to bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in immediately using your mobile OTP. Go to Application Status and check the query details. Upload the requested document, typically a clearer version of the sale deed, corrected property photo, BESCOM bill, or EC. Respond within 7 working days. If you do not respond, the application may be rejected or returned. After uploading, the application will move back to the CW or ARO for review.

If your e-Khata application has not been processed within 30 working days, you can escalate via the Sakala portal at sakala.karnataka.gov.in. Select BBMP as the department, select the Khata service, and enter your application details. Under the Sakala Services Act, BBMP must respond to the escalation or face departmental action. You can also contact the BBMP helpdesk at 94806 83695 or email dcrev@bbmp.gov.in with your application number.

Your ePID (10-digit Electronic Property ID) appears on: (1) your e-Aasthi application acknowledgement receipt downloaded when you first submitted your application, (2) any previously downloaded e-Khata PDF, and (3) the portal's property search results when you log in and search by owner name, SAS ID, or property address. If you cannot find it via any of these methods, contact the BBMP helpdesk at 94806 83695 with your property details.

The Final e-Khata Status page (Method 2 by ePID) may allow you to enter your ePID and check status without a full login in some portal configurations. However, the Application Status page (Method 1) and query response functionality require login via mobile OTP. For full functionality, including responding to queries and downloading the e-Khata, the login is required.

Once your e-Khata shows 'Signed by ARO' or 'Approved', go to the download page and pay ₹125 to download the digitally signed PDF. Your ePID is the PDF password. After downloading, verify all details carefully: owner name, property address, ward, zone, built-up area, and Khata type. The downloaded e-Khata is legally valid and can be used at the SRO for registration, at banks for home loans, and for utility connection applications.

If you notice errors after the final e-Khata is signed and downloaded, you need to file a Khata rectification application on the e-Aasthi portal. Log in, go to the eKhata section, and select 'Correction/Rectification'. Upload supporting documents showing the correct details (Aadhaar, sale deed with correct name). This is a separate application with its own processing timeline. This is why verifying the draft before ARO approval is strongly recommended.

Yes. Vault Proptech provides e-Aasthi application follow-up and resolution services in Bengaluru including query response on your behalf, ARO escalation, Sakala escalation filing, draft e-Khata verification, rectification application, and NRI-specific remote tracking without requiring an India visit. If your application has been stuck for weeks or your e-Khata shows incorrect details, Vault handles the resolution end-to-end.
