What’s the difference between a “A khata” and a “B khata” property in India? I’m looking for a simple explanation, especially when it comes to buying a flat.

An A khata property is officially sanctioned by the local municipality and has all necessary documentation, making it legal and eligible for loans. A B khata property lacks official sanction, has incomplete documentation, and may face legal challenges, making it riskier for buyers and often ineligible for loans.
