BDA Kempegowda Layout – Latest Notification (2018) – Details & Eligibility Conditions for Allotment of Residential Plots

Kempegowda Layout is one of the new layouts that is being developed by the BDA (Bangalore Development Authority). BDA had earlier issued a notification in 2015, inviting applications for Allotment of 5,000 residential sites in KG Layout.


You may kindly go through my new article : Latest BDA Plots E-auction June 2020 | Details & Online Procedure


There were many procedural hiccups in the allotment of sites to the successful applicants. Most of the applicants who have not got the allotment had to wait for many months to get back their Initial Deposits. I believe that BDA took almost 1 to 1.5 years to complete the allotment procedures.


Latest Update (26-Sep-2018) : The BDA has published the Kempegowda Layout Final Site Allotment List (2018-19). 



Around 5,000 sites on over 300 acres covers have been allotted in the first phase of the allotment. The sites which were allotted in the first phase are located between Mysuru Road and Yeshwantpur, along NICE Road.

(For more details on Phase-1 allotment, you may kindly go through my article onKG Layout – Phase 1 – BDA Residential sites in Bangalore‘. Around 2700 comments have been exchanged among the applicants in this blog post. Can be useful to you, in case you are now looking to apply for a site in BDA’s KG Layout).

The BDA has again come up with the latest notification, regarding the allotment of 5000 more residential sites in KG Layout, Bengaluru. Below are the details….

In case, you already possess a Registration card, can pay the difference in value of the Registration fee and obtain the Bank’s seal on the back side of the Card.

  • After receiving the applications, the BDA will announce a ‘Provisional list’ of successful applicants. The unsuccessful applicants can raise objections (if any) on the allotments done. Once this process is completed, BDA will announce the ‘Final List of Allottees’ and will also issue the ‘refunds’ (Deposit monies) to unsuccessful applicants. (Last time, BDA took almost 1 year to refund the Initial Deposit monies.)

Should you apply for BDA site in Kempegowda (KG) Layout? – My Opinion

  • BDA reserves the right to allot sites. Kindly note that this is not a BDA e-Auction. The allotment is based on various factors like seniority (you can check the seniority list by visiting BDA website), number of previous attempts (number of times an applicant has tried to obtain a BDA site), no of years domiciled in Karnataka etc., So, the basis of allotment is purely subjective. I do not think even lucky draw is conducted. So, looks like the allotment may or may not happen in a transparent way. This is my personal opinion.
  • BDA may take its own sweet time to complete the entire allotment procedures. This has been the case with the allotment in 2015-16. So, you may except procedural delays.
  • Check if there are any conditions applicable on ‘Re-sale’ of sites after the allotment is done. Generally, BDA does not allow immediate re-sale of its sites. So, check with BDA about this condition.
  • If you are planning to settle down in Bengaluru and your target location is West Bengaluru, you can consider applying for a site in KG Layout. But, advisable not to apply if it is for investment/speculation purposes.
  • Getting a Home Loan sanctioned for a BDA site can be easy (subject to your eligibility).

Kindly keep the above points in mind before applying for a BDA site in Kempegowda Layout.

  • Dear phase 1 site owners and preliminary allottees of 2nd phase

    Our association's annual General meeting is scheduled to be held at
    Chief ministers hall
    KGS club cubbon park
    on 30.09.2018 at 10AM

    As most of you would be allotted with site at npkl and eligible for membership of the association and join for common cause of the association's and its causes

    In view of the above I invite you to participate in the general body meeting as special invitees/observers.

    Though election for new governing council will be held on that day there are provisions for co-opting new members for governing council after you get allotment letters so that they can also participate in decision taking body.

    Hence I request good number of preliminary allottees to attend the meeting

    • Hi Surya Sir,
      will they announce final list this week.. At least if site is not alloted, we need to get the deposited money back. is there a way to get the deposit back before final list is announced. Moreover I have applied for a site in my name, however Im buying house in native, so as per BDA rule the site allotment will not happen for somebody who has property already in Karnataka state.

      If i approach BDA, can i get my money, I have paid 6+ lakhs rupee.

      Naveen

  • Dear All,

    Our association which is formed to safeguard npkl site owners and upcoming residents...our main motto after we got allotted was time extension for full payment,LCSD relaxation, RERA benefits, speedy infrastructure developments....with leadership we were able to get extensions and majority paid full amount and got site registered....

    We not seen much progress on LCSD, infrastructure activities and RERA benefits....

    Association seen many ups and downs from day it formed till date. With leadership we got something to be happy but we have many things which needs strong leadership, who can understand each members of association and safeguard each and every site owners by taking all into consideration, take all issues and concerns in proper planned manner to concern authority to take it ultimate end....

    As we seen infrastructure activity like power, water and basic amminites works going to complete in couple of years...in couple of years once infrastructure is completed we have to start construction, many challenges comes our way once we start construction...now we have elections to our association...we need to choose leadership in such a away thinking view point of those who will construct as soon as infrastructure works start so once we start construction there should nit be harassments, challenges to owners and upcoming residents....since it's new layout everything will be done from scratch...

    Now we have opportunity to identify good leaders among our self who willing to take ownership, identify issues and concerns,solution for issues and concerns and take decision in broader way to help all....

    Any members who is direct allotte, dependent of direct allottes can contest our association election...request each and everyone to think seriously on this to safeguard our huge investments( 12,24,52 and 96 lakh) we don't want to suffer like bsk 6th stage,anjanapura allottes,for them lak of infrastructure made to suffer like anything and everyone knows arkavthi issues, we should not be one more victims...we need to choose strong leadership who takes everyone's opinion,open to critics wither positive or negative, ego less people, down to earth. We have chance to build strong association now,everyone should and must come forward to nominate for elections and take up leadership to benefit all...

    We have challenges like

    1) infrastructure activities yet to start and we don't know deadline

    2) no RERA benefits even npkl registered under RERA

    3) BBMP waste treatment plant

    4) quality of work

    5) house construction clause reduced from 5 to 2 years

    6) LCSD

    Many more hidden issues and many more issues will come up once we start construction and start living....let us be united, think wisely on association leadership and get new good leadership so together we can tackle every issues and concern...

    Many good and bad things happened in association but we have to move on for something better to benefit all by choosing good leadership and forget bad things happened and need to make sure bad things not to repeats again which makes association weaker... association is for all not for one set of peoples...

    Forum is open to all...please participate actively and share your inputs on how our leadership should be, how new committee should work, what all changes you wanted to see from leadership, what all issues and concerns to be taken up by leadership, how things should be transparent....every suggestion makes lot of differences to all site owners and upcoming residents of npkl...

    soon nomination dates, elections and AGM will be published in association groups and websites..

    Thanks,

    Surya
