What Is the E-Aasthi Portal?

The Official Property Records System for Bengaluru

E-Aasthi is a digital platform by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). It streamlines property record-keeping and ensures transparency in transactions. The portal allows property owners to access, verify, and manage their details online. It digitises and centralises property details, reducing reliance on physical documents.

The previous Khata version had 18 information types, while e-Aasthi includes 46 types of property details.

What changed in 2025:

Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) replaced BBMP on September 2, 2025 and split the city into five corporations: Central, East, West, South, and North per the July 19, 2025, notification.

This means when you open E-Aasthi now, the first selection you make is which GBA corporation your property falls under. Getting this right is the first step in a successful property search.

This is a general reference to verify your ward's corporation at the E-Aasthi portal.

• Court disputes or litigation

• Accurate guidance value  that is on kaveri2.karnataka.gov.in

What Do You Need Before You Search?

The Information to Keep Ready

You do not need all of these; you need at least one of them. The more you have, the easier the search.

Where to find these details:

• SAS ID: On every property tax receipt since the SAS system was introduced

• PID/EPID: On your Khata certificate (old or new)

• Ward number: On property tax receipts, or search bbmptax.karnataka.gov.in by address

• Owner name: As it appears in the original registered sale deed or old Khata certificate

Important: Spelling must match BBMP records exactly. "Ramesh Kumar" and "R. Kumar" may return different results.

Step 5: Select GBA Corporation

After logging in, select the GBA corporation under which your property falls. This is a critical step all subsequent search results are filtered by the corporation you select.

Method 1: How to Search Property by SAS ID on E-Aasthi

The Fastest and Most Accurate Method

The SAS (Self-Assessment Scheme) ID is the most reliable search identifier, as it directly maps to a unique property record.

The SAS Property Tax ID is a 10-digit number issued by BBMP (now GBA) that identifies your property in the citywide tax database. It appears on every property tax receipt you have received since the SAS system was rolled out.

Step 1: Select the Search by SAS ID option

From the search panel, click on "Search by SAS Application Number" or the equivalent tab.

Step 2: Enter the SAS ID

Type your 10-digit SAS Application Number in the field provided. Do not add spaces or special characters. Click Search.

Step 3: Review the search results

The portal displays your property record. Verify:

• Owner name (matches sale deed?)

• Property address (correct door number and street?)

• Ward number (correct ward?)

• PID/EPID number (note this for future reference)

• e-Khata status (Draft / Final / Pending)

Step 4: Click on the property to view full details

Click on the property listing to open the full property card. This shows all recorded details, including built-up area, construction year, property type, and tax status.

What to do if the SAS ID search shows no results:

• Confirm you are in the right GBA corporation

• Double-check the SAS ID for typos

• Try the owner name search method below

• Contact BBMP helpdesk: 080-22975555

Method:  How to Search Property by PID / EPID Number on E-Aasthi

For Properties with a Known Property Identification Number

The PID (Property Identification Number), now also called EPID (Electronic Property ID), is the unique identifier in the E-Aasthi system.

The BBMP/GBA Property ID (EPID) is a unique electronic number assigned to every urban property under the BBMP/GBA limits. It connects your property to ward records, tax history, and digital mapping.

Step 1: Select "Search by PID" or "Search by EPID"

Step 2: Enter the PID or EPID number

Enter the complete PID or EPID number exactly as it appears on your Khata certificate or tax receipt. Click Search.

Step 3: Confirm the property result

The portal displays the property linked to that PID. Verify all details match your records.

Tip: The PID in the old Khata system and the EPID in the new E-Aasthi system may be different numbers for the same property. If searching by old PID gives no result, try finding the EPID through the address-based search below.

Method 3: How to Search Property by Owner Name on E-Aasthi

When You Have the Name but Not the ID Numbers

This method is useful for buyers conducting due diligence on a property, verifying that the seller's name matches BBMP records.

Step 1: Select "Search by Owner Name"

Step 2: Enter the owner's name and ward number

Enter the owner's name exactly as it appears in BBMP records. This is usually the name from the original Khata certificate or the name in the registered sale deed at the time of the last Khata update.

Select the ward number from the dropdown. If you do not know the ward, check the property tax receipt or search bbmptax.karnataka.gov.in by address to find it.

Step 3: Click Search and review results

If there are multiple properties under the same name in the ward, the portal lists all of them. Cross-check the address and door number to identify the correct property.

Step 4: Click on the correct property

Click on the correct listing to open the full property record.

Common issue: If the owner's name was updated in the sale deed (spelling change, name change after marriage, etc.), but the Khata was not updated to reflect thi,  the BBMP name may not match the sale deed. This is a documentation discrepancy that needs correction through the Khata correction/update process.

Method 4: How to Search Property by Address on E-Aasthi

When You Only Have the Physical Address

This is the fallback method, useful when you do not have the SAS ID, PID, or exact owner name.

Ward, door number, and locality details are sufficient for the search. The e-Aasthi portal allows property lookup using location-based fields such as zone, ward, street name, building name, and door or plot number.

Step 1: Select "Search by Address" or "Search by Property Details"

Step 2: Select Zone and Ward

Select the GBA zone first, then select the specific ward from the dropdown. Ward numbers for Bengaluru range from 1 to 243 across the five corporations.

Step 3: Enter Street Name

Type the street or road name. The portal may show autocomplete suggestions; select the closest match. Use the full name (e.g., "100 Feet Road", not "100 ft road") for better results.

Step 4: Enter Door Number or Building Name

For flats: enter the apartment complex name in the Building Name field and the flat/unit number in the Door Number field.

For independent houses: enter the house/site number in the Door Number field.

Step 5: Click Search

The portal returns matching records for that address. If multiple properties share a similar address,  cross-check the door number and owner name to identify the correct one.

Step 6: Click on the property to view the full record

Getting the Digital Certificate

Step 1: Click "View e-Khata" or "Draft e-Khata"

• Draft e-Khata: The property is mapped in the system, but pending final verification/approval

• Final e-Khata: The e-Khata has been fully processed and is officially issued
