BBMP may not add the date for already processed Khata. You should reapply for Khata. Let me give my experience for the same situation you are facing now. I applied for my 1st khata on 4th April 2016. Below is the image of the payment receipt, khata certificate, and extract. In the below Khata, date is not mentioned. We encircled for your reference. Now I want to sell my flat. We found the buyer and submitted the photocopy of documents to buyer’s bank for verification. Including above khata certificate and extract The bank has rejected my khata certificate and extract, as the date was not mentioned in both my khata certificate and extract.

  Yes, but with few consequences As an NRI, when you buy a property, you can give POA to any of your trusted source in India that includes your father, mother, brother, sister, in-laws, friend, colleagues. The stamp duty for POA is just Rs. 200 (for buying a property) When you sell a property, you have to give POA to your blood relative, the blood relative includes your father, mother, brother, sister, husband and your own children. In-law doesn’t comes under blood relative category, that mean your father-in-law doesn’t come under blood relative category. Stamp duty for blood relative is Rs. 200 (for both buying and selling) For non-blood relative,  You can give POA to your father-in-law but you have to pay government charges (stamp duty, cess and registration cost) at the time of POA adjudication itself (instead at the time of deed registration) For example: Your property value is Rs. 50 Lakh. The stamp Duty is 5.1%X50 lakh = 2,55,000 Cess is Rs. 0.5%X 50 Lakh = 25,000 Regist...
