Document library

The documents, explained properly

Every agent in Bengaluru says they help with documentation. Fewer can tell you what an encumbrance certificate actually shows. These pages walk through real specimen certificates, field by field, and say plainly what each document proves and what it does not.

Documents in the library

  • Khata

    The municipal record that says a property exists and who is assessed for tax on it. What A-Khata and B-Khata actually cost you, what an e-Khata does and does not change, and what a transfer takes.

  • Encumbrance certificate

    A list of every registered transaction against a property for a period you choose. Why a Form 16 is not the reassurance people think it is, and the clause at the foot of every Form 15 that almost nobody reads.

  • How to check a project on RERA

    How to look up any Bengaluru project on the state's own register, free and without an account. What the portal shows, what it will not tell you, and how to check an agent, including us.

About the specimens

Every certificate reproduced on these pages is a blank specimen form. There are no client documents here, redacted or otherwise. Each image carries its SPECIMEN watermark, and the names, numbers and measurements on them are fictional.

Karnataka property administration has changed twice in eighteen months. Anything written here has a shelf life, so every page carries a visible "Checked" date and gets reviewed quarterly. If you are reading this well after that date, ask us rather than assuming.
