Government of Karnataka, with a view to evolve a pramatic solution to the problems of unauthorised developments or constructions has amended the Karnataka Town And Country Planning Act, 1961. Consequently, the Karnataka Municipal Act has also been amended incorporating sec 321A to effectuate the amended provisions of the KTCP Act. This legislation, however, does not aim to regulate all types of land and building violations. The Act and Rules framed specify nature and extent of unauthorised developments and constructions and would be regularized and the procedure and fee payable for regularization. This booklet will guide the property owners in filling the application for regularization of unauthorized developments or constructions.
The book contains frequently asked questions besides how to use the book and fill in the applications. The building violations, viz setback and floor area violations, the screening committee consituted under BBMP will process the applications. However, if the application is for regularization of unauthorized layouts and sites or for change in land use, the Bangalore Development Authority will first examine whether such applications are within the norms prescribed for regularization under the amended provisions of KTCP Act. Once the BDA has approved the regularization, the screening committee under BBMP will take steps to process the applications to determine whether the building violations are within the prescibed limits. To enable BBMP to forward the relevant application to BDA, separate coloured application forms have been devised. The yellow application form is for regularization of unauthorized layout and plots, the pink application form is for change in land use. The green application form is for applying for building violations. The application for building violation is devised to help you to self calculate the regularization fee payable.
The amendment that has been brought out is only for a limited period commencing from 15th September 2007 and closes on 14th December 2007. Any applications received after this date BBMP will not entertain. Citizens are therefore, requested to avail this one time opportunity to regularize centain violation under the norms prescibed. The fee prescibed for regularization is also reasonable and further it has been mandated that the regularization fee collected shall be utilized to develop city’s infrastructure. Thus, the violations that this legislation seeks to regularize would be adequately compensated by an enhanced infrastructure and development of open space. Given this twin objective of this legislation - to be a pragmatic solution by creating
a platform for the citizens to regularize violations within the precribed limits, and that the entire sum realized shall be utilized for development infrastructure - it is clearly in public interest. It is advised that the citizens of Bangalore to avail this opportunity and apply well in time.
I have gone through the entire hand book and it is a vert good opportunity for citizens to cross check their hard earned properties and fix it up so that they are upto the mark, so that the next generation who inherit them from the present owner will have marketable titles as and when they are in difficulty, as everyone knows that life is a rollar coster ride where their are always up and downs. As on today Greater Bangalore now joins the elite clique of New Dehli, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata as A-1 City. Sakrama 2007 will really help the Bangalore to be the futuristic city of the world. More info can be had from the BBMP website.
