Starting March 1, the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) will conduct a three-month campaign to issue B-Khatas for properties in private layouts and revenue lands. This initiative, covering approximately 57,000 properties, aims to regularize violations and enhance property tax revenue. The move follows a government directive mandating that all urban properties be brought under local governance for taxation.
Currently, MCC has 1.8 lakh A-Khata properties—fully authorized structures. The state government has set a May 10 deadline for urban bodies to complete B-Khata registrations, prompting the civic body to speed up efforts. Zones 5, 8, and 9 have the highest number of such properties. MCC officials are conducting awareness campaigns to encourage property owners to register.
B-Khata is a temporary registration, allowing owners to buy, sell, and obtain loans, but it does not grant full legal authorization. This is a one-time measure to expand the tax base. Property owners must apply offline using Form No. 2, available at zonal offices, and submit documents such as sale deeds, encumbrance certificates, tax receipts, and identity proof.
To facilitate the process, MCC will conduct door-to-door visits, make announcements through Swachhata vehicles, and set up helplines. The campaign will be officially inaugurated by the district minister.
