You applied for your e-Khata a few weeks ago. You have the acknowledgement number. And now you’re wondering — where exactly is my application? Has it been approved? Is it stuck somewhere? Do I need to visit the BBMP office?
The good news: you don’t need to visit any office at all. The entire e-Khata status check process in Karnataka is online through the official BBMP e-Aasthi portal at bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in — and takes less than two minutes once you know which method to use.
This guide walks through exactly how to check your e-Khata status online in 2026, what each status stage means, the three different checking methods available, and what to do if your application appears stuck or shows an error.
What Is e-Khata and Why Does the Status Check Matter?
e-Khata is Karnataka’s digital property ownership document — an electronic version of the traditional Khata certificate, managed by the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA), formerly known as BBMP. It contains your property details, ownership records, and tax assessment information in a digitally signed, legally valid format.
As of October 2024, the Karnataka government made e-Khata mandatory for all property transactions in Bengaluru. From July 2025, BBMP requires a valid e-Khata for all online building plan applications. In other words — without an approved e-Khata, property sales, home loans, power connections, and building approvals can all be delayed.
This is exactly why checking your e-Khata application status regularly is important. A stuck application — even one sitting with a case worker for three weeks — can be escalated once you know where it is.

Three Ways to Check e-Khata Status Online
The BBMP/GBA e-Aasthi portal provides three separate URLs for status checking, depending on your situation:
# | Method | Portal URL | When to Use |
1 | By Application Number | bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in /citizen_core/EkhataApplicationStatus | Applied recently and have your acknowledgement number |
2 | By ePID (Final Status) | bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in /citizen_core/Final_eKhatha_Status_based_on_ePID | Property has an existing ePID; check if final e-Khata is ready |
3 | New Khata Application | bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in /citizen_core/NewEkhataStatus | Applied for a new Khata for a property not previously in BBMP records |
Use Method 1 in most cases. Method 2 is for properties that already have an ePID assigned. Method 3 is specifically for properties applying for Khata for the first time in BBMP records.
Step-by-Step: How to Check e-Khata Status by Application Number
This is the most commonly used method — suitable for anyone who applied through the citizen login on the e-Aasthi portal and received an acknowledgement number.
Step 1: Open the Official Portal
Visit bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in in your browser. Always use the official government URL — do not use third-party websites that claim to check e-Khata status on your behalf.
Step 2: Log In With Your Registered Mobile Number
Click on the Citizen Login option and enter your registered mobile number. You will receive an OTP for verification. Enter it to proceed to your dashboard.
Step 3: Go to Application Status
On your dashboard, look for the Application Status section. This will allow you to track any active or previously submitted application linked to your account.
Step 4: Enter Your Application Number
Type in the application number from your acknowledgement receipt. This was sent to your registered mobile number when you submitted the application, and also appears on your submission confirmation screen.
Step 5: View Your Current Status
The portal will display your current status stage. Note it down, understand what it means using the table below, and take the appropriate next step if needed.
Understanding Every e-Khata Status Stage
Your application moves through multiple stages before the e-Khata is issued. Here is what each one means:
Status Stage | What It Means |
Submitted | Your application has been received and is waiting to be assigned to a case worker |
With Case Worker | A BBMP/GBA case worker is reviewing your documents for completeness |
With ARO | The Assistant Revenue Officer is conducting the detailed verification of your application |
Signed by ARO | The ARO has approved and digitally signed your e-Khata — nearly done |
Ready for Sub-Registrar | Your e-Khata is in the final queue for registration-related processing |
Approved / Download | Your e-Khata is ready — log in and download it from the portal |
Rejected / Deficiency | A document is missing or incorrect — check the portal for the specific reason and resubmit |
Under the Karnataka Sakala Services Act, BBMP/GBA must process Khata applications within 30 working days. If your application has not moved past the “With Case Worker” or “With ARO” stage for more than 30 working days, you have a legal right to escalate.
Checking Final e-Khata Status by ePID
If your property already has an ePID (Electronic Property ID) assigned by BBMP, you can check the final e-Khata status directly without an application number.
To do this:
- Go to bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in/citizen_core/Final_eKhatha_Status_based_on_ePID
- Enter your ePID number
- The portal will show whether a final e-Khata has been issued for that property
This method is particularly useful when you have purchased a property that already had a BBMP record and you want to confirm whether the previous owner’s e-Khata has been transferred to your name.
How to Download Your e-Khata After Approval
Once your status shows Approved or Download Available, here is how to get your e-Khata:
- Log in at bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in with your registered mobile number
- Go to the Application Status section and open your approved application
- Click the Download button next to your completed e-Khata
- Verify that the name, property details, survey number, and ward are all correct
- Save a digital copy and print one for your records
The downloaded e-Khata carries a digital signature from the ARO and is a legally valid document for all official and financial purposes.
What to Do If Your e-Khata Application Is Stuck
If your application has not moved beyond a particular stage for more than 30 working days, do not panic — and do not pay anyone to speed it up. Here is the correct escalation path:
- First, confirm the status using the official portal methods above
- Visit sakala.karnataka.gov.in and file a Sakala grievance using your application number
- Call the GBA/BBMP helpdesk at 94806 83695 or (080) 2297 5555
- Email the concern to dcrev@bbmp.gov.in with your application number and details
- If the Sakala complaint is also not resolved within the prescribed time, escalate to the Next Appellate Authority listed on the Sakala portal
Important: The application fee for e-Khata is ₹0. The only charge is a ₹40 service fee paid online through the portal. Anyone asking for additional payment — including agents, middlemen, or local officials — is acting outside the official process. Report them immediately.

Common e-Khata Status Errors and How to Fix Them
Common Error | Likely Cause | What to Do |
Property not found on portal | Property not yet digitised or wrong details entered | Verify PID number at the ward office; check if property is in GBA limits |
Application stuck beyond 30 days | Pending with ARO or case worker without action | Escalate via sakala.karnataka.gov.in — Sakala Act guarantees 30-day processing |
Name or details incorrect in draft | Data entry error or mismatch with source documents | Raise an objection within the 7-day objection period on the portal |
B-Khata property not getting e-Khata | B-Khata properties need regularisation first | Apply under BBMP Akrama Sakrama or Rajiv Gandhi Housing scheme, then reapply |
Middleman demanding payment | Unofficial agents misrepresenting the process | Report to GBA helpdesk at 94806 83695 — the entire process costs only ₹40 |
Status not updating after submission | Portal delay or application stuck in queue | Note the reference number and check via the Application Status URL; wait 3–5 working days |

Frequently Asked Question
How do I check my e-Khata status online in Karnataka?
Visit bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in, log in with your registered mobile number, go to Application Status, and enter your application number. Alternatively, check final status using your ePID at the dedicated ePID status URL on the same portal.
How long does BBMP take to process an e-Khata application?
Under Karnataka’s Sakala Services Act, BBMP must process e-Khata applications within 30 working days. If your application exceeds this without action, you can file a Sakala grievance at sakala.karnataka.gov.in or call the GBA helpdesk at 94806 83695.
What is the fee to apply for e-Khata in Karnataka?
The application fee is zero. A service charge of ₹40 is paid online through the portal. No other payment is required — anyone asking for additional fees is operating outside the official process and should be reported to the GBA helpdesk.
What does 'With ARO' status mean for e-Khata?
‘With ARO’ means your application is currently under review by the Assistant Revenue Officer at your BBMP ward. This is a normal stage in the process. If it stays at this stage for more than 30 working days without progression, escalate through the Sakala portal.
Can I check e-Khata status without visiting the BBMP office?
Yes — the entire e-Khata status check process is online through bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in. GBA’s official instructions state that no citizen should need to visit the ARO office. Physical visits are only required in exceptional cases involving record discrepancies.
My e-Khata application shows 'Property Not Found' — what should I do?
This usually means your property has not yet been digitised on the portal, or the details entered do not match existing records. Verify your Property Identification Number (PID) at the ward office and confirm whether your property falls within Greater Bengaluru Authority limits.
Can a B-Khata property get an e-Khata?
Not directly. B-Khata properties must first be regularised under applicable government schemes such as BBMP Akrama Sakrama or the Rajiv Gandhi Housing scheme before they can apply for e-Khata. Consult a property consultant for guidance specific to your property.
Is e-Khata mandatory for property transactions in Bangalore?
Yes. The Karnataka government made e-Khata mandatory for all property transactions in Bengaluru from October 2024. From July 2025, BBMP also requires a valid e-Khata for all online building plan applications. Without it, sales, loans, and approvals face delays.
