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, 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.
  • As per my knowledge, the average market price in and around Kemepegowda Layout is between Rs 2,000 to Rs 2,500 per sq feet. The BDA sites have also been priced in the same way. It’s been a long time since BDA has come up with new Layout in Bengaluru. So, the demand for these BDA plots can be high. So, let’s monitor the demand for these BDA residential sites.
  • 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.
  • 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 site in Kempegowda Layout.

  • Sir, just now I contacted BDA office, they had sent the letter to all members and asked bank details.
    Next week final list will be announced

    • Thank you Mr.Naveen. Hope things will be fine.

      Thanks to Mr Sreekanth for creating this blog and providing us a platform to share our views.

        thanks once again sreekanth.

        • Thank you dear Vidya & Vadi.
          I am also learning many new points w.r.t BDA allotment rules / procedures by reading through the comments / queries / responses.
          Thank you all!

          • That is very nice if you to say so Mr.Sreekanth. this has been of great moral strength to me as I do not know any other applicant and would have remained clueless, if not for this blog

  • Yes I too got the letter today. God knows what is happening. Tried calling them several times. Nobody picks up or it is busy. Atleast they should have given the reason.

  • One of my friend’s name was in provisional list but recently received post mail asking details of initial deposit bank details. what does this mean? Friend’s name removed from final list? what is the reason? Does anyone else in same situation?

    • Me too received mail today...its for all...in mail they mentioned to provide our bank details for their reference and for refund purpose...All will receive this mail.......

      • Me too received the letter today and my name too appeared in the provisional list with a deadline as 20th of August!!!!. This is nuts and going crazy with all these confusion, guessing what's next, going through this blog daily with complete delusion, not sure what's the intent behind creating such communication hope this is not deliberate towards creating something new scenario to all applicants.

        We need to send it anyway to get the deposit back and did all returned the post with updated details?

        • Do, they have sent the ready format to fillup the bank details ? What else the details they have asked ?

          • hi Veer,
            Saw the letter today and yes there is a cover letter and a format with 5 x 2 table.

            hope everybody has similar or even its different for different people with some hidden messaging behind god knows feels humiliated with this experience!!!

      • Madam, members of final list need not provide there bank details ? There is no question of refund from BDA.
        I am really confused again with BDA !!!
        I have not yet received any such letter, might receive in a weeks time. If it's for all.

    • Dear Sam, My fathers name is in provisional list, but I haven't received any such postal mail from BDA.

      Telly they are confusing agin ??

    • even my father name is in provisional list even we received the letter .I called up bda .They told me 1st thing is to
      confirm ur bank details and next if ur name is not in final list we need this details to refund . i guess they have sent this to every one.

      • My mom is there in provisional list as well and Even we got the letter from bda asking for bank details today.. per letter it has send b4 20-Aug.. today only we received post. What is going on with BDA officials.

    • Sam,

      So far we not received any letter from BDA on any communications. Anyways ask your friend to visit BDA office and equerry....

  • BDA nadaprabhu kempegouda layout final list when can be declared ,
    Can we get loan from bank for the allotted site.
    Which bank is faster to provide loan.

  • OMG! Sorry for sending the msg over and over again. It actually did not appear on my screen. I felt it did not reach. Extremely sorry.

  • Very true Mr.Sanjay. But this is what they said. I had called up 23440480. Maybe if someone else picks the call the answer will be different.
    They should have gone with the allotment directly and objections could be dealt in the next phase allotment. This is creating unnecessary tension and confusion. If someone knows an insider at BDA please check and clarify.

    • One of my friend's name was in provisional list but recently received post mail asking details of initial deposit bank details. what does this mean? Friend's name removed from final list? what is the reason? Does anyone else in same situation?
