If a property belongs to Khata A, it also means that it is not a revenue land and that there are no agricultural activities that are carried on in it. If a property was agricultural land then you are required to convert it into non-agricultural land to get sanction from BBMP. After doing so and getting your property listed in the relevant municipality Khata.
