Who Does What in Bengaluru Property?

Start with the parcel

Record the district, taluk, hobli, village, survey number, hissa and coordinates. Then verify the notified jurisdiction or obtain written confirmation from the relevant authority.

GBA and Bengaluru city corporations

The Greater Bengaluru framework covers current local municipal functions through the applicable city-corporation structure and delegations. Check which corporation and office currently maintains the property record and service.

BBMP

BBMP remains important in older records, service URLs and familiar Bengaluru terminology. A historical BBMP record can be relevant evidence, but it does not identify the current decision-maker by itself.

BDA

BDA records can concern development, allotment, estate matters and historically important planning functions. The exact relevance depends on whether BDA allotted a site, developed a layout, or sanctioned a private proposal.

BMRDA and local planning authorities

BMRDA provides a regional planning and coordination framework. It is not a universal Khata or title authority. Local planning bodies, including area-specific authorities, may exercise planning functions within notified areas. Verify the actual issuer and jurisdiction.

Revenue Department and Tahsildar offices

Revenue records, grants, mutation history and applicable conversion or diversion processes sit within the revenue administration. A revenue record does not by itself settle title or planning approval.

Survey Settlement and Land Records

Survey records help establish parcel identity, subdivision, boundaries and measurements. They should be reconciled with the deed and approved plan.

Stamps and Registration

Sub-Registrar offices record eligible instruments and support EC and certified-copy services. Registration records a transaction; it does not conclusively validate every earlier ownership or approval question.

Karnataka RERA

RERA addresses promoter and project registration, disclosures, compliance and remedies within its legal scope. A RERA registration is not a universal title certificate or substitute for parcel-level due diligence.
