Bengaluru civic body rolls out Aadhaar-based eKhata mutation: Here's a step-by-step guide
The initiative aims to streamline property mutation processes and eliminate delays for citizens with pending eKhata updates.
The service, officially launched under the leadership of Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru In-Charge Minister DK Shivakumar, allows property buyers and sellers to complete eKhata mutations entirely online using Aadhaar authentication.
The announcement was made by BBMP Chief Commissioner M Maheshwar Rao, IAS, who said the new system is part of BBMP's broader efforts to bring ease, transparency, and speed to property-related services.

How the automatic mutation process works
Citizens with pending eKhata mutations can follow these steps:
Visit https://BBMPeAasthi.karnataka.gov.in Click on the 'eKhata Automatic Mutations – Get Your Mutation' link under 'Important Instructions' Search for the pending mutation using the ePID number of the property Authenticate both the seller/giver and purchaser/receiver using Aadhaar eKYC If the Aadhaar of the seller/giver matches the Aadhaar seeded with the property eKhata, the mutation will be automatically approved after a seven-day objection period
BBMP clarified that any disputed cases flagged during the process will be reviewed and resolved by an authorized officer.
In a related move aimed at offering long-awaited relief to property owners, the Karnataka State Cabinet recently approved the regularisation of B-Khata properties issued by BBMP up to September 2024. This decision will enable such properties to be upgraded to A-Khata status, giving residents access to essential civic amenities and long-term legal clarity.
'When giving it, we will specify the parameters. If property owners comply with the parameters, then B-Khata will be issued,' said Law Minister H.K. Patil, following the Cabinet meeting held on July 18.
Together, these reforms are part of a broader effort by the state government to enhance transparency, improve service delivery, and ensure that citizens benefit from a more efficient property management framework in Bengaluru.

Provident Fund Withdrawal Made Easy: Get Money In 72 Hours With These Simple Steps
In a move to enhance member services, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has drastically reduced the time it takes to process PF withdrawal claims. Previously a lengthy and cumbersome process, the online system now allows for a rapid transfer of funds, with many claims being settled and credited to the member's bank account within a mere three days. The PF account, a mandatory savings scheme for most salaried individuals in India, sees a monthly contribution of 12% of the employee's salary, with a matching contribution from the employer. This fund, which also accrues government-mandated interest, has long served as a financial safety net. The recent improvements in the withdrawal process make this crucial fund more readily available during times of urgent financial need. To ensure a smooth and rapid withdrawal, members are advised to follow a few simple steps and ensure their details are accurate and up-to-date. Step-by-Step Process for PF Withdrawal: 1. Access the EPFO Portal: Navigate to the official EPFO website, [ ]. 2. Login: Use your Universal Account Number (UAN) and password to log in to your account. 3. Initiate the Claim: Under the 'Online Services' section, select the 'Claim (Form-31, 19, 10C & 10D)' option. 4. Verify Details: Verify your Aadhaar and bank account information. 5. Submit the Form: Fill out the claim form, providing the reason for the withdrawal. 6. OTP Verification: Submit the form after verifying it with the One-Time Password (OTP) sent to your registered mobile number. A key factor in the speedy processing of a claim is the completion of Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements and the correct linkage of your bank account with your UAN. Any discrepancies in the provided information or outdated documents can lead to delays or the rejection of the claim. If all details are accurate, the funds are directly transferred to the linked bank account, with the process often concluding within 72 hours. This streamlined online process marks a significant improvement in the EPFO's service delivery, providing members with quicker access to their savings when they need it most.
