How do I change the name in the Bangalore (BBMP) property tax records/receipts?

 Apply for Khata transfer to change the name in BBMP property tax record.

Here I will explain the step by step procedure with supporting documents that how I change my name in property tax record.

Step 1: We bought a resale property on 13th April 2016 from Mr. Faraz Rauf (seller) to Mr Manish Singh (buyer). Below sale deed image for your reference.

Step 2: As of 2019 -2020, Previous owner name that Mr. Faraz Rauf (seller) name reflects in tax paid receipt and BBMP record. Below property tax receipt image with name circled for your reference,

Step 3: on 22nd June 2020, we applied for khata transfer. Below acknowledgment receipt form BBMP, for your reference.

Step 4: On 24th Aug 2020, we received SMS from BBMP that our Khata application was approved and proceed with khata transfer fee. We paid the khata transfer fee at Bangaloreone center on 28th Aug 2020. Below payment receipt for your reference.

Step 5: On the same day of bill payment that is on 28th Aug 2020, My Khata certificate was available on Sakala website for download. (I personally requested the BBMP officer to expedite the process so my certificate was ready on the same day of payment or it may take around 4 working days to download from sakala website).

Step 6: On 28th Aug 2020, I received a call from BBMP that to collect the hard copy of khata certificate and extract from respective BBMP office.

Step 7: We collected hard copy of khata certificate and extract on 29th August 2020 and below images for your reference.

Step 9: On 31st Aug 2020, we submitted below letter to bbmp office to change the name in property tax record.

Along with this letter, attached photocopy of khata certificate, Khata extract, and current year property tax receipt. (Current year property tax must be paid. FYI)

Step 10: On10th September 2020, Name was updated in property tax record. Below screenshot of BBMP website for your reference. Here we circled the new owner name that Mr. Manish Singh for your reference.

Note: Name in the property tax record should be updated at the time khata transfer application process, but in some cases it may not be updated. In such situation we should write a letter to Asst. revenue officer, requesting to change name in record. On average, it takes 10–15 days to update the name in property tax record.
