Khata Transfer Charges in Bangalore: Fee & Calculation
Khata transfer charges in Bangalore are generally 2% of the stamp duty paid on the registered document, subject to a minimum charge of ₹500, as per the applicable BBMP Revenue Department fee information. The charge is not calculated directly on the property's sale value. Your total cost may also include applicable document charges, payment gateway charges, pending property tax or other property-specific requirements.
How Much Are Khata Transfer Charges in Bangalore?
Khata transfer charges in Bangalore are generally calculated at 2% of the stamp duty paid on the registered document, with a minimum charge of ₹500 under the applicable BBMP fee structure. This means the fee is linked to the stamp duty amount rather than being 2% of the property's market or sale value. The final amount payable should be checked through the official e-Aasthi system before completing the payment.
Khata Transfer Fee Calculation
The basic calculation is:
Khata Transfer Fee = Stamp Duty Paid × 2%
For example, if the stamp duty paid on the registered document is ₹3,00,000:
₹3,00,000 × 2% = ₹6,000
Therefore, the basic Khata transfer fee would be ₹6,000.
The calculation does not mean that a property worth ₹60 lakh will have a Khata transfer fee of ₹1.2 lakh.
For example:
Particular | Amount |
|---|---|
Property value | ₹60,00,000 |
Stamp duty paid | ₹3,00,000 |
Khata transfer fee at 2% | ₹6,000 |
The ₹6,000 is calculated on the stamp duty amount of ₹3 lakh, not on the ₹60 lakh property value.
The BBMP Revenue Department's published fee information states the Khata transfer charge as 2% of the stamp duty on the registered document, subject to a minimum of ₹500. The official e-Aasthi system also provides an online facility for Khata transfer payments.
What Additional Charges Can Increase the Khata Transfer Cost?
The 2% Khata transfer fee is the main transfer charge, but it may not represent the entire amount payable in every case. Additional costs can arise when you request Khata Certificate or Extract copies, have outstanding property tax, use a payment method with a convenience charge, or require a separate property-related service. These costs depend on your specific application and should be calculated separately from the basic Khata transfer fee.
Additional Cost | Applicable Amount/Requirement |
|---|---|
Khata Certificate | ₹25 per copy |
Khata Extract | ₹100 per copy |
Online payment charges | Depends on payment method |
Property tax dues | Depends on outstanding amount |
Conversion/regularisation | Depends on the property and applicable process |
The BBMP Revenue Department's published information lists ₹25 per Khata Certificate and ₹100 per Khata Extract per copy. These are separate document charges and should not be added to the 2% transfer fee automatically.
The official e-Aasthi payment page also displays payment-method-specific charges. At the time of writing, the portal shows ₹0 convenience charge for UPI and listed debit-card payments, while certain credit-card and net-banking transactions have separate charges. GST is applicable where stated on the portal.
Property tax should also be checked before applying. The official e-Aasthi document requirements include the current assessment-year tax-paid receipt for applicable Khata services.
A separate conversion or regularisation requirement should also be treated independently. B-Khata to A-Khata conversion is not the same as a normal Khata transfer, so conversion-related charges should not automatically be included in a standard transfer estimate.

How Much Does Khata Transfer Cost for Different Property Situations?
The basic Khata transfer fee depends on the applicable stamp duty and municipal fee structure, but the documentation can vary according to why the Khata is being transferred. A property sale, gift, inheritance, partition or release may require different supporting documents. Therefore, property owners should not assume that every Khata transfer will have the same total cost beyond the applicable municipal transfer fee.
After a property sale
For a normal sale, the Khata transfer fee is calculated based on the stamp duty paid on the registered sale deed.
For example, if the stamp duty paid is ₹2,50,000:
₹2,50,000 × 2% = ₹5,000
The basic Khata transfer fee in this example is ₹5,000.
The official e-Aasthi document requirements include the registered title deed and relevant Khata records among the documents required for the applicable service.
After a gift or family transfer
A Khata transfer following a gift or other family ownership transfer can involve different supporting documents.
The official e-Aasthi requirements recognise documents such as gift deeds, release deeds and partition deeds for applicable Khata services.
The applicable fee should therefore be determined according to the registered document and the type of Khata service being requested rather than assuming that every family transfer has the same total cost.
After inheritance
Inheritance-based Khata transfer can have different documentation requirements depending on the circumstances, including whether a will exists and the nature of the succession documents.
The applicable municipal fee should be verified for the specific inheritance case rather than estimating the charge solely from the property's market value.
e-Khata transfer
e-Khata refers to the digital form of the municipal property record. The official e-Aasthi platform provides online facilities for eligible Khata-related services, including Khata transfer and payment.
Therefore, an e-Khata transfer should not automatically be treated as a completely different fee calculation merely because the record is maintained digitally.

How to Calculate Your Exact Khata Transfer Charges in Bangalore?
To estimate your Khata transfer charges, start with the stamp duty amount paid on the registered document and calculate 2% of that amount, subject to the applicable minimum fee. Do not multiply the property's sale value by 2%. After calculating the basic transfer fee, check the official e-Aasthi payment page for any applicable payment-method charges and confirm the final amount displayed before making the payment.
Basic formula:
Stamp Duty Paid × 2% = Khata Transfer Fee
If the calculated fee is below the applicable minimum, the minimum charge applies.
₹60 Lakh Property Example
For a property worth ₹60 lakh, the Khata transfer fee cannot be calculated simply by multiplying ₹60 lakh by 2%.
Suppose the stamp duty paid on the registered document is ₹3 lakh.
₹3,00,000 × 2% = ₹6,000
Particular | Amount |
|---|---|
Property value | ₹60,00,000 |
Stamp duty paid | ₹3,00,000 |
Basic Khata transfer fee | ₹6,000 |
Therefore, the basic Khata transfer fee in this example is ₹6,000, not ₹1.2 lakh.
Before making the payment, verify the amount generated through the official e-Aasthi system because the final payable amount may include separately applicable payment charges.
You can also reduce the possibility of unexpected costs by checking the property's tax status, keeping the registered documents ready, confirming the type of Khata service required and checking whether you need additional Khata Certificate or Extract copies.
