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.

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.

  • Hi Srikanth,

    Is there any update how many applications have BDA received till date?

    Thanks & Regards,
    Anil

  • sir , i got one bhk apartment in bda last year , i done 2 attempts for 20x30 site ,my question is can i apply for site now ?pl give suggetion

  • Dear All,

    Site rates aren't Cheap. So just dont think you are getting sites at lesser value. These sites have lock-in of 10years and 5 Years construction clause. It is ideal to give a representation letter at BDA office with your Challan number and Application number. Asking In the NPKL BDA Phase 2 Advertisement. You have not mentioned the Project completion Date.

    NO PROJECT COMPLETION DATE IS ANNOUNCED IN PHASE 2 ADVERTISEMENT IN DEC 2017. IT WAS SAME IN PHASE 1 IN DEC 2015. SO STILL BDA IS NOT CONFIDENT WHEN THE PROJECT WILL BE COMPLETED.

    VISIT BDA, ENQUIRE OFFICIALLY AFTER ALLOTMENT WHEN THEY WILL PROVIDE BASIC AMMENITIES.

      • This was already planned, decades ago. This road is definitely needed there, since 30000+ sites are coming up, Atleast 20000 families is expected in 5-6 years there. Since BDA plots are registered under the condition to build House in 5 years. This Road will connect Mysore Rd and Magadi Rd. Although Metro is far from reality for another 10 years..

    • Thank you... This just shows how much people have faith in BDA...

      Disclaimer - I have applied with a hope that future looks bright...

    • Sorry!! here is the link

      ಬಿಡಿಎ: ನಿವೇಶನಕ್ಕೆ ಅರ್ಜಿ ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಲು ಫೆ.23 ರವರೆಗೆ ...

      • v bought recently 20*30 site of BDA site only from seller, it is registered both in my wife and my name as we took loan it is registered in both of us name.

        So can i apply for this or not??
        Please do reply immediately as i saw this today only i don.t have much time to apply. can i apply in my name or in my parents name???

      • I heard, the sites which were surrendered by the Phase-1 allottees will be distributed to Phase-2 allottees, is that correct?

        • Its not an closed secret. Anything left get added to the lot. Its not that sites werent good. Preference of Site Facing can be a reason, Failure to arrange funds in 60 days could also be reason. Sites being far from Main Road could also be a reason who might be try to invest. Or All Allottee could be trying to get a Site in block 5. which is 1km from Mysore Road,

          • In "Prajavani "newspaper dated 10th Feb they have mentioned due to poor response BDA has extended the deadline.

            In "The Hindu" newspaper they have mentioned due to heavy demand they have extended the deadline.

            Which one to believe?

          • Response is poor becz this time there are added clauses of not having site/ flat at BMRDA region. Plus aadhar No is asked. No bank is accepting cash as DD amount. And people dont have black money or just not enough. This time only white money is being added and hence poor response.

  • If anybody is approaching you guys saying they have 5-6 attempts, they will get site easily and you give them commission, they give you GPA. all such stuff dont fall prey for it.

    If anybody buys such site from Original Allottee, 10 year lease will be there after that if the original owner does not give site, and even if you go to court. Court will order to pay interest to victim. But still the original site allottee will keep the NPKL site.

    For 30x40 sites its 23laks in 2018 from BDA and Market rate 30 Lakhs in 2018. After Ten years, Site value is 50 lakshs in 2028. Now the original allottee is not interested to register site in your name, You go to court. Court will ask original allottee to pay interest to victim, i.e 23 lakhs + interest. May be like 35-40lkahs. and Now the original will still be in advantage, since he will get a site worth 50laksh for 35-40 lakhs.

    Also... Major Chance the site might get cancelled at 5 years mark in Ten year lease. Since House is not built. So original allottee is not in loss. Dont fall pray for such Issue.

    WE NPKL WELFARE ASSOCIATION form Phase 1, have already decided, we will pursuit for House construction after 5 years complete. For development of Layout, House construction is very important. Nobody wants to waste money.

      • Yes, if not possible to build house, you have to justify why unable to build house. If it is Basic Amenities issue, they will extend. If not you have to penalty. Or you can sell back site to BDA.
