e-Aasthi in Mysuru: What Plot Owners Should Check Before Building
What e-Aasthi (e-Khata) is in Mysuru, which documents were reported for A-Khata and B-Khata, and how to check your plot record before design starts.
e-Aasthi, also called e-Khata, is the electronic property record kept by Mysuru City Corporation (MCC). As reported in October 2026, MCC is bringing about 2.3 lakh properties into it. Check that your plot has a correct record before design starts, because it is not a substitute for your title documents.
What is e-Aasthi in Mysuru?
As reported, e-Khata is an electronic record maintained by the local civic authority that holds property details for municipal use. In Karnataka it is also called e-Aasthi. In Mysuru, MCC runs the drive. The same report cautions that an e-Khata should not be treated as a substitute for the underlying title documents.
This article is about plots under MCC. If your plot lies outside the corporation limits, a different authority may apply. Our Mysuru approvals guide explains who handles which plots.
Why a plot owner should care before building
Our approvals guide notes that MCC holds property records as e-Aasthi (e-Khata), and that a plot with a disputed or incomplete record can stall at the first step of a building licence application. So the record is worth checking before you pay for drawings, not after. We have not verified from an official source whether e-Aasthi is mandatory for a building licence, so confirm with MCC.
Documents reported for an e-Aasthi application
News Karnataka reported on 25 October 2026 on an MCC special campaign. It listed these documents. Requirements can differ for your case and over time, so confirm with MCC before you visit.
| Document | A-Khata | B-Khata |
|---|---|---|
| Registered ownership document | Sale, gift or other registered document | Registered documents executed before 10 September 2024 |
| Encumbrance certificate (EC) | Yes | Yes |
| Property tax receipt | Full payment for the current financial year | Yes |
| Record of Rights, Tenancy and Crops (RTC) | Not listed | Yes |
| Recent photos of owner and property; Aadhaar | Yes | Yes |
The same report said OTP verification on an Aadhaar-linked mobile number is mandatory. It also described a time-limited campaign with a special fee and a stated three-day processing target that depended on document verification. We do not repeat the fee or dates here, because campaigns end. Ask MCC for current terms.
Dues can hold things up
A separate report, last updated 18 November 2025, said owners had to clear pending property tax and water cess before getting an e-Khata in Mysuru. The same report said about 61,000 e-Khatas had been issued out of roughly 2.28 lakh properties at that time. Clearing dues early removes one cause of delay.
A pre-design checklist for your plot
| Step | What to do | Who helps |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Collect the registered deed, encumbrance certificate and latest tax receipt | You |
| 2 | Find out your Khata category and whether an e-Aasthi record exists | You, MCC |
| 3 | Have an advocate read the title papers | Advocate |
| 4 | Confirm the authority, setbacks and area limits for your plot | Architect |
| 5 | Do the soil investigation and structural design | Structural engineer |

Questions to ask before you start
- Is my plot an A-Khata or a B-Khata, and does an e-Aasthi record exist?
- Which office, MCC or another authority, will receive my building plan application?
- Are there pending dues on the property?
- Who prepares the drawings, who submits them and who pays the fees?
- Which documents should I keep certified copies of?
Next step: check your record with MCC, then use the cost estimator and ask the team for a written Mysuru estimate once your plot papers are clear.
