Bengaluru's 'My e-Khata, My Hakku' campaign has received 2,939 applications in its early phase, signalling strong citizen uptake for digital property documentation. The Greater Bengaluru Authority drive aims to simplify and formalise property ownership records, reduce disputes and bring Bengaluru's vast property base onto a transparent, accessible digital platform.

The Greater Bengaluru Authority, or GBA, launched the campaign to bridge the long pending gap between physical Khata records and their digital equivalents. For thousands of Bengaluru property owners, an e-Khata is not just a digital document - it is a legally valid proof of ownership that enables property tax payments, loan applications and government registrations. The response of 2,939 applications reflects growing awareness and trust in the city's civic digitisation agenda.

What Is 'My e-Khata, My Hakku' And Why It Matters

The phrase 'My e-Khata, My Hakku' translates directly to 'My e-Khata, My Right,' underscoring the campaign's core message that property documentation is a citizen's fundamental entitlement. The drive encourages property owners across Bengaluru's jurisdictions to get their Khata records digitised and updated on official GBA databases.

An e-Khata replaces the older paper based Khata system, reducing the risk of fraud, duplication and unauthorised transfers. It also makes it easier for residents to access municipal services online without having to visit civic offices repeatedly.

Progress, Reach And Next Steps

With 2,939 applications already received, the GBA campaign is building momentum across residential and commercial property segments in Bengaluru. Officials are processing applications and are expected to scale outreach through ward level camps, digital literacy drives and multilingual communications to reach property owners who may still be unaware of the process.

The drive is part of Bengaluru's larger urban governance push to modernise civic infrastructure, improve property tax compliance and reduce litigation arising from unclear ownership records. If sustained, the campaign could digitise hundreds of thousands of properties and dramatically improve the city's revenue collection efficiency.
