The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) said even individual plots should have approvals from the competent planning authority to be eligible for being issued A-khatas.
This follows an amendment to Section 17 of the Karnataka Town and Country Planning (KTCP) Act-1961, BBMP said in a circular issued on Tuesday.
Hitherto, the civic body was issuing A-khatas under Section 95 of the Karnataka Land Revenue Act-1964 to individual plots if they had land use conversion approvals.
However, following the KTCP Act amendment, division and subdivision of existing A-khatas will not be allowed for individual plots which have land use conversion but lack approval from the competent planning authority.BBMP said the division and sub-division of A or B khatas will be allowed only after the competent planning authority permits it.
It also said that in case of individual/multiple units standing on properties which have A-khatas, individual A-khatas for units will be issued if they have all required approvals including approval letter from the planning authority.
