Step-by-Step Guide to Getting an e-Khata
1. Obtain Your Application Number and Ward Information
Before applying for an e-Khata, ensure you have your 10-digit application number, BBMP ward number, and owner's name. These details are typically found in your property tax receipt. In my case, my ward number is 150 - Bellandur.

After logging in, navigate to the section that allows you to update e-Khatha details. Use the search bar to type in your ward number. You can also switch to the Kannada language if your name is written in Kannada on the e-Aasthi platform.
4. Search for Your Property
Search for your property using property EPID, owner's name, assessment number, or property address. If the search does not yield results, try using multiple criteria, such as your full name if it's written in a different script.
