Bengaluru: The State Cabinet meeting held on Thursday approved 3 key bills, including the Karnataka Gram Swaraj and Panchayat Raj (Amendment) Bill-2025, which aims to bring nearly 90 lakh unauthorised properties into the tax net by issuing B Khatas.
The decision, which applies to Urban and Rural areas outside Bengaluru, will enable Gram Panchayats to collect property tax. These properties will now be brought under the Government’s E-Khata regime. The move is in line with the policy of Bengaluru’s BBMP, which is already issuing B-Khatas to unauthorised properties in its jurisdiction.
