    The document provides a beginner's guide to buying and selling property. It discusses the importance of reviewing primary documents like the deed or allotment letter showing how the current owner acquired the property. When these are missing, secondary documents can still establish clear title, including building plan sanctions from local authorities approving construction. The Khata certificate issued by the city shows the property is registered to the current owner, and includes details like the property number and owner's name needed for utilities and taxes.

    Buy, Sell Property - A Beginner's Guide

    Parent deed

    This is the Sale deed, Gift deed, Partition deed, Allotment letter or similar, by which the present owner/owners
    have acquired the title for the property. This document is also referred to as the Mula Pathra and includes the
    unbroken flow of the title up to the present owner.

    Tracing of the title should always begin with the earliest available document, record or order by which a Court or
    Government or a statutory authority has given the rights to the property to its first owner. Then, documents which
    identify the subsequent owners of the property through an unbroken sequence of legal acts up to the present owner,
    i.e. the seller, should be traced.

    At times, many of these documents may have been lost over time; in such instances, the buyer should look at the
    earliest registered document available with the seller and, with the help of a lawyer, trace the title up to the present
    owner. Since almost all properties in Bengaluru have their roots in agriculture, it is possible for the lawyer to
    establish whether the property has clear titles and can be legally sold by means of the secondary documents
    mentioned below.
    ii. Secondary documents of title

    • Building plan sanction

    In case of apartments and individual houses, you need to have a Building Plan Sanction issued by the BBMP, BDA
    or the village panchayat for properties under their jurisdiction.

    For vacant sites in layouts, you need to check for the layout plan sanction, issued by the plan-sanctioning authority.
    For builder-developed independent homes, apart from the layout plan sanction, you need to have building plan
    sanction from the BBMP or village Panchayat, under whose jurisdiction the property falls.

    • Khata

    The Khata certificate is issued by the BBMP, the BDA or a village panchayat in the name of the present owner or
    owners. There is no specific mention of the term Khata in the Karnataka Municipal Corporation Act of 1976; this
    is only an assessment register which compiles all the details of each property in the city. The term Khata is a
    colloquial term and literally means an ‘account’. Thus, the Khata is an account of every person who owns a
    property in the city. Each property will have a Khata. Each Khata has two parts: the Khata certificate and the Khata
    extract.

    a. Khata certificate

    A Khata certificate is obtained for the registration of any new property after paying the registration fee. This
    certificate mentions that a particular property number ‘N’ is held in the name of person ‘X’. This certificate is
    required for applying for a water connection, electricity connection, trade licence and building licence. The Khata
    certificate is given by the BBMP only to the owner of the property or to his legal heirs, and is used for the purpose
    of paying taxes.
