The Bochner tensor is the Kahler analogue of the conformal Weyl tensor. In this article, we derive local (i.e., in a neighbourhood of almost every point) normal forms for a (pseudo-)Kahler manifold with vanishing Bochner tensor. The description is pined down to a new class of symmetric spaces which we describe in terms of their curvature operators. We also give a local description of weakly Bochner-flat metrics defined by the property that the Bochner tensor has vanishing divergence. Our results are based on the local normal forms for c-projectively equivalent metrics. As a by-product, we also describe all Kahler-Einstein metrics admitting a c-projectively equivalent one.
