The Karnataka government launches an OTS scheme for 7 lakh B-Khata properties in Bengaluru, allowing owners to convert to A-Khata by paying a 2% settlement fee.

The Karnataka administration has instituted a prohibition on converting agricultural land parcels measuring five guntas or less for non-agricultural purposes. This stringent measure targets systemic misuse of family partition rules to create unauthorized revenue sites, aiming to secure arable land and enforce proper land record management across the state.

In a major relief to property owners, the Karnataka Cabinet has approved the issuance of A‑khata certificates for B‑khata properties in illegal layouts, paving the way for legal recognition, loans, and smoother property transactions across urban areas.
