# BBMP to launch upgraded e-Aasthi 2.0 for e-khata issuance 2026-09-18T03:46:54+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Bangalore Development Authority will launch e-Aasthi 2.0, a more user-friendly version of its e-khata portal, according to a statement from the authority. The upgraded system aims to simplify the process of obtaining digital property records for property owners across the city. The original e-Aasthi platform had already issued over 25 lakh e-khatas online and won an award for its service. The new version is expected to address complaints about the current interface and reduce processing times. No specific launch date has been announced yet. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The e-Aasthi platform was built to end the decades-old problem of opaque manual khata records that stalled property sales and bred disputes across Bengaluru's 198 wards. BBMP's own audit found that lakhs of properties had never been entered into the official register, leaving owners without clear title and unable to get loans. The upgrade to version 2.0 suggests the civic body is shifting from merely digitising past paper records to building a system that can handle real-time mutations, which is the step where most frauds occur. To make the online route the default, BBMP will need to integrate e-Aasthi with the sub-registrar's office so that sale deeds and e-khatas update together on transfer. The corporation is expected to announce a timeline for this integration at its next monthly council meeting. ## Coverage - deccanherald.com Tags: Bangalore Development Authority, Bengaluru, e-Aasthi, e-khata Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bbmp-to-launch-upgraded-e-aasthi-2-0-for-e-khata-issuance/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
