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….

What is the procedure to apply for a site in BDA Kempegowda Layout?

  • Visit the authorized bank and pay applicable ‘registration fee’ (ranges between Rs 500 to Rs 5,000 based on the site dimension). The bank will issue a Registration card. 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.
  • Draw a DD/Cheque in favor of BDA, Bangalore for the requisite Initial deposit amount (as indicated in the above first table).
  • Persons whose income is less than Rs 1 Lakh per annum are considered under EWS category.

  • If you or any of your family member (spouse or dependent family member) has already been allotted any BDA / Govt site / KHB then you are not eligible to apply for allotment of site in Kempegowda BDA Layout.
  • You are also not eligible for the allotment of a site if you or any of your family member has a site/flat/house within Bengaluru Metropolitan area. Also, you should not have acquired any site/house anywhere in India at a subsidized price.
  • The Initial deposit paid by you do not carry any interest. However, it will be adjusted against the total site value of successful applicants. (Unsuccessful applicants will get it refunded)

Download BDA’s notification (2018) – Application for Allotment of sites @ Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout, Bangalore (in Kannada / English).

  • 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 All,

    *IMPORTANT NOTE ON TDS to 40/60,50/80 allottes* :

    *for 20/30,30/40 no TDS*

    As per the rule, for transaction above 50 lakhs, buyer has to pay 1% TDS.
    Those who got the allotment letter for 40/60 & above dimension site, and planning to make payment to BDA, raise DD or RTGS transfer for 99% of the total amount mentioned in allotment letter and pay rest 1% TDS directly or with the help of chartered accountant.

    Its owner's or buyers responsibility!

    The above info is very important, many who paid 100% to BDA to run around BDA for more than 6 months to get back the refund of 1%, all new allotted to deduct 1% and make the remaining amount payable to BDA

    *Full amount payment and after payment process to be followed...*

    Full payment can be done in 3 ways..

    a) DD
    b) RTGS
    c) Canara bank cheque

    Banks charges few thousand commission for DD.

    RTGS 59 rs commision in SBI...

    *DD should be in favour of Commissioner,BDA,Bangalore*

    RTGS should be to account name

    **commissioner* , *BDA* , *Bangalore*
    *Bank name: Canara bank,BDA complex branch*
    *Account number* : *2828201005093*
    *IFSC* : *CNRB0002828*
    *PAN* : *AAALB0060D*

    For cheque payment Visit Canara bank BDA branch...

    1) make full payment as per your convenience

    2) if it's RTGS they will generate transaction number that number we need to share to Canara bank bda complex branch with 2 sets of allotment letter and slip we filled in our bank for RTGS and for DD... manager will verify amount transaction using transaction Id...he put seal and signature...4 challans will be generated 2 for bank use,1 for BDA and 1 original for us...

    In DD,cheque case also same process as above

    3) covering letter with challan needs to be submitted to reception and acknowledgement can be collected for the same

    Once full payment,our file goes through following before we get intimation to submit LCSD format...

    - Applicant has to submit all vouchers to the pro or plot section, along with payment details and covering letter

    - Plot section then forwards the file to finance section for credit verification, which takes a month

    - Finance section then asks engineering section to submit correct dimension report, which takes 2-7 days

    - Finance section will write a note to issue LCSD format to respective case worker if everything is fine..

    - Case worker dispatch LCSD format

    - after handing over LCSD format on same day he will issue date on which we need to go for registration..

    Usually they scan docs,entry data in computer,send via tapal from section to section ...minimum one and half month to two months after full payment till we receive letter from case worker for LCSD format

    Thanks,
    Surya

  • Hello, Does anybody know the PAN number of BDA? This information is required to pay the 1% TDS at the bank or online.

    • Dear Ranga,
      Kindly contact BDA office..
      Is payment of TDS required as these sites are allotted on Lease basis for time-being???

      • Hello Sreekanth, My mistake that I did not read the allotment letter properly. PAN (AAALB0060D) is mentioned on top of the allotment letter.

        To your question, not right away but eventually (before the consummation of the Sale Deed). Do you have another view ?
