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.

  • This is second attempt. I come under Scheduled Tribe, State Government employee. Is there any chance of getting BDA site.

  • This is first time i want to apply for BDA site , i don't have any income , can i eligible to apply it.
    and how much initial registration fee needs to be pay for (30*40)site.

    • Dear Banu,
      You have to pay Rs 2,000 for as Registration fee. If you do not have any income then how can you afford it?? You may not be eligible for a home loan too..

  • Hi,

    is there a chance to get allotted if we apply in Backward Community?
    Consider a scenario where a person has applied in Backward Community category and is he further eligible to get the site in General Quota , when Backward Community Quota has elapsed?

    please answer my query.

    • Dear Sham,
      I believe that you can either apply under Backward category or under General category but not both.

      • Sreekanth you are doing a great service, thank you for educating.

        I am aware that i am not supposed to apply in both backward category and General, but say if i apply in backward category and further BC quota got exhausted(due to possessing lower seniority compared to others in BC) but in the mean time if i am having an higher seniority in General quota does BDA authority consider me in General quota instead of BC for alloting?

    • if it is a first attempt, just forget !!!!.. but still you may apply. your attempts will be considered for next BDA upcoming layouts.

  • can you please let me know the location any route map for new BDA site
    Nada prabhu Kempegowda Layout

    any google map

  • This is the 1st attempt if apply for BDA site. Is there any chance of getting BDA site? Which dimension (20×30 sqft, 30×40 sqft, 40×60 sqft and 50×80 sqft) is the best option to apply if I need to have more chance of getting BDA site (for the 1st time applying).

      • I have doubt plz help me out here my question is same as shridhar sir but y cant i go with 30x40 because number of sites avilable are more

  • Thanks for the useful information. I have never applied for a site before. Just want to try. I come under Backward Classes category (has 10% reserved). I am not sure if I should apply under Backward Classes category or General Public category to have better chance of success. The BDA advertisement does not mention the split of reservation within IIA & IIB in Backward Classes category. Is that mentioned somewhere in the BDA rules? Tried searching online for BDA (Allotment of Sites) Rule 1984 - no success.

    • Dear Shahul,
      I do not have information about this one.
      The reserved category persons can choose to apply under general category too. So, you may apply under General public category.

  • Hello Sir,
    I have completed 2 attempts, but due to financial difficulties i do not want to proceed with this notification. But i wanted to apply to just increase my attempt. Is this possible ??. Also is it true that if we are not interested in the site if it has been allotted will they return the amount ?.

    Thanks
    Sameer

      • As I stated yesterday, they will refund full amount if one decides not to retain the site.

        (But one thing I am not sure is, a) amount is refundable at intial deposit stage itself, if one choose to return the site allotted. OR b) ONe must get site registered and then only one can return the site back to BDA.

        But for sure , return facility is available as part of year 2000 BDA amendment.

        • Dear Gensastry,
          As far as I know, the initial deposit amount is refunded to all unsuccessful applicants and not to the successful applicants who do not want to register the allotted property.
          This was the case with BDA recent e-auctions. Correct me if I am wrong..

  • Dear Sir,

    I have purchased Gramtana(village) site in 2007 registered in Kengeri Registration office and still holding the site and paying tax every year. my question is am I eligible to apply for BDA site. please confirm.

  • Hello sir, I have attempt the BDA sites for 2 times but I have misplaced the attempt details. please tell me how to find the details of applying BDA attempts. pl......... inform me immediately. this is my request.

    • Dear Krishnamurthy,
      I believe that you can get your attempt details from BDA head office (Kumara park) only, though I am not sure if they will share with you now or not.
