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….

You can then obtain the Application form at the bank (application fee is Rs 400 for general category & Rs 200 for others). 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.

  • I visited BDA office yesterday for some work. All the clerical staff are engaged in scrutiny of the applications and ONE week deadline is given to them to complete it. First time I have seen them working on war footing. I hope same pace continues.

    But the catch is if the sites are not formed on paper and on ground they cannot allot site numbers. So if anyone knows somebody in Engineering department they can find out and update about site formation status.

    • Yeah, please make sure that sites are carved out or not , as i said earlier we will be in big trouble if they allot sites which are not in place.

  • Hello All,

    Thanks for sharing your information.

    As i can see from the link there are 1,416 application available 700 “40×60” sites.
    this 1416 application are the new applications or it also includes the previous seniority list people.

    I am confused, please suggest.

    Kiran

    • 1416 application includes both Fresh & Seniority. However in that they will not give a break-up how much fresh & how many were seniority.

  • Hi,

    Is BDA has carved 5000+ sites to allot for 2nd phase?

    Please note : we will be in big trouble if in case if BDA allots site which are not there in place.

    • They have not yet done that. They will scrutinise the applications now and make a list of eligible people for allotment and return the deposit for unsuccessful applicants before ELECTION. Site number allotment and allotment procedures will start after new government comes. We are at their mercy.

      • if this is the case then we may face

        1. lot of inconsistency in site allotment.
        2. they may denotify the land .
        3. you will be shelling out your money before the product reaches you.
        4. at later stage layout map/master plan may change, then you need to get reallotted (this is a tedious
        job , everytime you need to run behind BDA)
        5. they will promise you one and get you something different.
        7. at later stage they may allot you sites which fall under buffer zones (lake/Rajakaluve/Canal/ etc.)

        • Oh!! this is really scarring after investing such an amount including our previous attempts.

  • Here is the latest update….

  • Hi,

    Can we expect stagered payment atleast for phase2 allotees ?
    any news from RERA? how long BDA will be reluctant to get registered under RERA

    looks like RERA is bowed in front of BDA.

    some of them have filed complaint against BDA to RERA, till now they have not received any update from RERA

    RERA is charging 1000 for a complaint, but no use. i am highly disappointed from RERA.

    • Yeah Sham....So far no progress....last time BDA commissioner Mr,Rakesh Singh mentioned there was fees for registration issue which is sorted and project registration under RERA is completed but no clue in which RERA he registered npkgl...

      We have one PIL on RERA which is filled by Mr Sridhar,Which is filled long back and judge is waiting for BDA lawyer to replay and no progress at all.

      Many of phase allottees lodged complaint against BDA Wave-off penalty which was imposed for late payment stating layout is still under formation,for seeking deadline for infrastructure completion and many raised concern on full payment made for underdeveloped or under formation layout.Till date no one got any replay from both authority,Online complaint states your application is under review.

      If NPKGL comes under RERA...

      1) Payment will be development based like BDA need to show some work and after that they need to ask allottees to make payment....

      2) If they fail to show development,BDA has to pay penalty to allottee who made payment at the SBI rate of interest+2%

      Registration will happen for sure,but when id unknown....If it happen its going to benefit all...

      Thanks,
      Surya

      • RERA benifits :) Applicants are already paid full amount and now we are in mercy of BDA.

        people are struggling to get penalty waive off from BDA , very sad :(
