Karnataka Cabinet Clears A-Khata for B-Khata in Illegal Layouts


BENGALURU: The Karnataka Cabinet has approved the issuance of A-khata certificates for B-khata properties situated in unauthorized layouts within urban local body jurisdictions, as announced by Minister H K Patil.

During the post-cabinet meeting briefing, Patil outlined that this decision mirrors a previous resolution concerning B-khata properties in the region.

He clarified that properties in officially sanctioned layouts receive A-khata, while B-khata properties exist in layouts lacking such endorsements.

“The cabinet has sanctioned the granting of A-khata to sites and buildings, including apartments and flats, that currently possess B-khata in layouts formed without the necessary approvals from competent authorities, within the jurisdiction of the state’s urban local bodies,” stated the state law and parliamentary affairs minister.

“This is a policy decision, and no court has imposed any stay, allowing us to proceed,” he added.
