How to check your e-Khata application status online in Bangalore
How to check your e-Khata application status on the GBA e-Aasthi portal, what each stage means, and why only an Issued e-Khata is valid for registration or a loan.
PropWatch Editorial5 min read
An e-Khata application that reads 'Under Verification' is not the same as one that reads 'Issued', and the gap between the two stages is where buyers lose money. Only the Issued stage produces a usable, digitally-signed final e-Khata that a sub-registrar or a lender will accept; everything before it is work in progress. The status of any e-Khata application in Bengaluru can be checked online in under a minute on the Greater Bengaluru Authority's e-Aasthi portal, with no office visit. This guide is narrow on purpose — it covers status tracking only. For what e-Khata is and how to apply from scratch, see PropWatch's main e-Khata guide linked below.
Where to check e-Khata status
All status tracking happens on the GBA e-Aasthi portal at bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in. The portal is run by the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA), which has taken over the erstwhile BBMP's property-record functions. There is no separate office counter or phone line you need for a routine status check — the portal is the authoritative source, and the same record a verifying officer sees is the one you see.
You can check status in two ways: by entering the reference or acknowledgement number issued when the application was submitted, or by logging in and opening 'My Applications', which lists every application filed under your account and its current stage.
How to check your e-Khata status step by step
- Open the GBA e-Aasthi portal at bbmpeaasthi.karnataka.gov.in.
- Open the eKhata Application Status page and enter the reference or acknowledgement number you received when the application was submitted.
- Alternatively, log in with the mobile number and credentials used to file the application, and open 'My Applications' to see every application and its current stage.
- Read the stage shown against the application — Draft, Submitted, Under Verification, Approved, or Issued — and confirm it is Issued before you treat the e-Khata as final.
- If the stage is Issued, download the digitally-signed e-Khata; its signature can be verified online by a buyer or a bank. If it is anything earlier, the document is not yet valid.
What each status stage means
An e-Khata application moves through a fixed ladder. The stages are sequential, and only the last one produces a valid document.
| Status | What it means | Valid for registration or a loan? |
|---|---|---|
| Draft | The application has been started but not submitted; details can still be edited. | No |
| Submitted | The application and documents have been filed and are queued for an officer. | No |
| Under Verification | The jurisdictional officer is checking the documents and particulars. | No |
| Approved | Verification has cleared, but the signed certificate has not yet generated. | Not yet |
| Issued | The digitally-signed final e-Khata has generated and can be downloaded. | Yes |
How long it should take, and the 5-day rule
Most applications now clear in a few working days when the documents are in order. In March 2026 the GBA introduced an auto-approval rule: a final e-Khata application that is not acted on within five working days is approved automatically by the system. The rule was intended to stop officials from sitting on files without giving reasons.
If the status is wrong, stalled, or rejected
If the application is stuck well beyond the normal few-day window, or has been rejected or sent back, reach the GBA e-Khata helpdesk through the e-Aasthi portal and quote your reference number. A rejection or a send-back usually points to a document gap or a disputed field — a mismatch in owner name, extent, or the property identification number against the sale deed and tax-paid receipts. Fixing those before resubmitting is faster than re-filing blind. If the property is a revenue site or a B-Khata, the status check will not change its legal status, only confirm where the application sits — see PropWatch's revenue-sites and conversion guides linked below.
