The municipal record that confirms a property’s identity, ownership, and tax compliance.
Definition of Khata Certificate
A Khata Certificate is an official document issued by the local municipal corporation that links a property to its rightful owner in civic records. It records essential details such as ownership, property address, and tax assessment numbers, confirming that the asset lies within approved municipal limits. The certificate also verifies that property taxes have been paid up to date.
In simple terms, it is the property’s civic identity, proof that the structure you own or plan to buy is legally recognized by the city’s governing body.
Why It Matters
Proof that connects property and governance
- Required for registration, loan processing, and building plan approval
- Confirms that the property is listed in civic records
- Ensures tax payments are valid and updated
- Serves as a foundation for utilities and other civic services
Without a Khata Certificate, transactions or modifications on a property cannot be legally recognized.
How It Works
The process behind Khata registration
- The owner applies at the local municipal office with the sale deed and property tax receipts
- The authority verifies details with property survey numbers and records
- The Khata Certificate and Khata Extract are issued once ownership and tax status are confirmed
These documents act as the property’s civic identity.
