Kempegowda Layout – Allotment (2015) of Residential sites by BDA – Details & Eligibility Conditions

View Comments

• Today, I had been to BDA to understand next steps for the allot-tees. As per officials, we can expect allotment letter with site details in a month (after refund process is over) and not in a week or two. While in the BDA office, I also understood delays in refund. There are 3 to 4 computer operators in the account section, who have to process a huge list of refund (~30000). They validate applicant's file, verify authenticity of applicant details and RTGS with right account number and amount. I personally saw them to be working very hard. Please note that it is a very repetitive boring job and officials are working very hard. This is the reason for refund in batches (1000 or 2000 in a day). They could have front loaded some of these tasks or hired some data operators on contract basis for short time. But, it involves changes in government policies. I am not sure, how other organizations like IT department handle such big transactions. Account department officials confirmed that they target to complete all the refund in 2 weeks.

  If you happen to visit BDA, please visit account section and appreciate computer operators, if you find them working hard. I did thank them for their hard work.

• Hi All,

  Request site allottees to join the whats app group , link shared by Surya. We have 163 members on the group. We are forming Association to discuss on future moves.

  We have many coming on Sunday,
  Nov 6th 2016.
  Grouping at Bangalore University, Canteen (Food Court), Morning 8 AM, we will discuss all of the concerns. (place is close to ring road, all can come, parking space is there, day time shade is good) sufficient for 1hr or 2hr talk, then interested people can go for layout visit in groups.

  Like

  Staggered payment until complete possession of sites.

  Remove 10yrs lockin period, since on a Lease deed banks wont give loan more than 10yrs. but on Sale deed, loans can be given upto 15 years. Since most of the allottees are Retired and need co sponsor for loan, There are many challenges.

  After paying more than 25lakhs for site, it is tough to build house in 5yrs, if not BDA will take back sites or put penalty for the sites on yearly basis.

  Deadline when the project will be completed with basic amenities, after paying lakhs we cannot wait for many years.

  Many more concerns will be discussed. Please attend.

  If you guys are busy on Sunday, we are meeting up tomorrow as well on Saturday, same location same time. we can discuss.

  We need numbers, as association we can ask all this to bda. so please join the group and help your selves.

  Remember, until you ask nothing is given. everything is taken granted.

  5k people investing crores of money and we have right to know everything.

  • I am an allottee, genuinely interested in constructing a dream home. I agree to everything above, except removal of lease deed and penalty clauses. I would push BDA for the stricter implementation of those clauses by ensuring that all allottees construct houses in the next 5 years without failure and make the place livable soon. I would go a step further and seek BDA to revoke allotment (inline with BDA rules), if houses are not constructed in 5 years. Without these clauses, allotted sites will be traded as investments for several years causing huge problems to the society. Farmers who lost their land will not be able to cultivate, hundreds of homeless people will be devoid of their opportunity to realize their dreams and the whole society has to pay higher price for vegetables and daily needs, as agricultural land keeps moving away from the city . With several big layouts formed in this fashion, a day will come when underutilized layout will be acquired for agricultural purpose.

    Let us all note that core purpose of BDA allotting sites is to meet housing needs of this city. As citizens of Karnataka, we should help and enable BDA to function correctly.

    • I side with Arun....Look what has happened to viswesariah layout? the deeds were given and even though reasonable amenities are there, where is the development from the last 10 years??
      If deeds are given then it will be real estate investment not real estate development....

      • Thanks Prashanth for the support. I live in an apartment near ITPL. We do not get Cauvery water or underground drainage connection. Comparatively, Vishweshwarayya layout has UGD, Cauvery supply and electricity. This sort of layout is a dream to several Bengalureans. It is not me alone. 40% of Bangalore does not get Cauvery water. Despite such good facilities, layout has been not been developed due to investment mindset. We should change that mindset for our own good and for the society that we live in.

        • Dear Arun and Prashanth,
          Appreciate your views.
          Look at fact: Earlier BDA used allot at much lesser price compared to market price; now BDA is SELLING at market price without any amenities being ready. Once it is purchased a market price, decision should be left to prerogative of buyer. AND not necessary that all the allottees works in and around ITPL (read as software engineers) to have affordability to spend minimum Rs.2000/- per Sft to build the house within next 3 to 5 years.

          I am sure, allottees who are raising the matter of lease period, also are very much law obeying and society concerned Indian citizens as well.

        • Prashanth, I am not a Software engineer. I am a clerk in a bank near to ITPL and save on transportation by staying close by. With my salary alone, I too can not afford a piece of land or house in Bangalore. I do tuitions to earn additional money. I have to work hard and extra hours to realize my house dreams. Let us all understand that building a house in Bangalore is a lifetime achievement, with lot of hard-work and sacrifices for the middle class folks like me. This is why I said... "Where there is a will, there is a way...". If we dont believe in our dreams, we just can not make it happen. Please remember Annavara song "Aagadhu endu kai katti kulitare....".

          I have a higher concerns for society, specifically farmers, as I have seen the pain of farmers in my village very closely. Please note that if I had enough money (rich IT class), I would have not bothered all of you. I would have constructed home, without bothering much about the development in the layout ; Worst, I might have traded the site with absolute sale deed in my hand.

          I would fight against any changes in the current BDA rules on lease and housing constraints. This would just pour water into the development of this layout and livable conditions for folks like me.

        • Arun,
          Whole kindheartedly I salute your spirit and the path you have chosen to realize your dreams in the life. On the other hand, you also at least accept right of others to express their views, if not accept their views AND don’t try to preach the gyan about hard work to others by underestimating and demeaning others’ path; but sharing for others’ benefit is welcome.

          Why do you think that your concern for society and formers is heights the among the other equals in the forum? You have only seen the problem of farmers where as I was part of it.

          Don’t take views / comments expressed in this kind of the open forum personally. Nobody has neither any time to waste unproductively nor nothing to settle score with other unknown individual.

          Would like to end with acceptance of your view point – ‘more the occupants in the layout leads to better developments in the layout’; incidentally it is an universally accepted ‘town planning’ formula.

          Hope to bump on you soon being neighbors… D):

    • I am taking Site loan for buying the land. If the house needs to be constructed in 5 years its further pressure on people who dont have money. I feel this clause needs to be removed so that people can construct Home when they want or when they are capable of taking one more loan. BDA can take other means to ensure the land is not used as trading instrument. People who have money can easily construct home and later sell it. This is in no way stopping the Investment being used as trading instrument.

      • Converting agricultural land into barren fields is very dangerous. If someone is constructing house and selling it, we should be absolutely fine, as they are meeting housing needs of the city (which is the purpose of this allotment). We all knew BDA rules before applying for a site.We also knew site and construction cost. I am not sure of a good reason to change it now. If folks had no intention of constructing a house in 5 years, they could have given this opportunity to others. Please note that there is a huge queue of aspirants and we (allottees) are fortunate to get the opportunity. As the saying goes " Where there is a will, there is a way". I am sure, you will find ways of realizing your dream home, if you have the real will to do so.

        • Hi Arun,
          The land cost is already very high. I would have agreed If it was low cost (like earlier they were giving for 25,000 to 8,00,000), its easier to build the House. Now already taking a loan for 25 lakhs. For construction of dream home i need atleast another 30 lakhs minimum. The Bank do check the salary before giving loan. Not everyone is fortunate to earn high income to get the Huge Home Loan. People in non-IT Field still earn less. Everyone want to own their land and home. The terms and conditions should be applied in such a way that its feasible for everyone either rich or middle class family.

        • Ratheesh, Almost all banks require you to construct a house in 2 years of loan disbursement. If you do not construct a house, your interests would go drastically high, with no income tax breaks. This will be very difficult for middle class families like you and I. It is in our good interest to construct each of our dream houses.

        • Ratheesh, I am not a Software engineer. I am a clerk in a bank near to ITPL and save on transportation by staying close by. With my salary alone, I too can not afford a piece of land or house in Bangalore. I do tuitions to earn additional money. I have to work hard and extra hours to realize my house dreams. Let us all understand that building a house in Bangalore is a lifetime achievement, with lot of hard-work and sacrifices for the middle class folks like me.

        • While I understand that many people will find a way of constructing their house, under different difficulties, there may be more constraints than financials. Does anyone know the amenities available, roads, water, electricity, at the earmarked land that will be allotted? What other challenges can one face while constructing ones house in the new layout? Also, if BDA is charging market rates, does anyone know what concessions are they offering on the existing allotment rules, if any?

  • Along with the above points , can someone please put up a question to BDA asking if they will follow the guidelines under the real estate act 2016. Cos all that we are asking in the above agenda is already packaged under the real estate act. So why fight for so many points when something is ready available.

• Gentle Reminder to all....

  Allottees will need to form association and hence we are gathering on Sunday 8-9 AM at Bangalore University Campus, Near Canteen, to form a Group.

  We will discuss on how to form association, concerns and queries which after listing will be put forward to BDA as Association.

  Location is close to NKG Layout, so after meeting interested guys can visit the layout blocks and understand the ground reality of the layout.

  1) Staggered Payment
  2) Full payment only after Possession certificate is given by BDA.
  3) Deadline on Amenities as to in how many months/years it will be completed. Like BDA will say after Phase 3 allotment, CA sites will be given for schools, complex all such. but Basic amenities like Water and Electricity should be made available during possession.

  Since the fate of Arkavathy, we do not want NKG layout become the same, so we have to ensure the funds deposits collected is not wasted and we wait for years to complete project. so they have to share layout plans of Each block. So it guarantees that it is worth buying sites there at 2000 rs per sq feet.

  Any members here, in legal, in banking can put forward their suggestion as well.

  Please Join us, its just 2hrs on Sunday morning, Feel Fresh at Bangalore University Campus.

  Remembers, Even an Infant will not get milk unless it cries. So we are investing our life earned money and we have every right to question on HOW and WHEN.

  Please find whatsapp group on previous comments, join the group to get quick updates.

  Thanks to RELAKHS for providing platform to share/talk.

  • Those who wish to know more about allotments in Kempegowda Layout may check here to get more details information

• I didn't get refund amount. I am also waiting for refund amount.
  Any updates regarding refund? Because they mentioned that they have refunded the money on 2nd November.

  • from Nov 2 they have announced only 1300 refund, i dont know why they taking so long time and why they troubling people even after final list, its really harrasement

• I applied 20*30 on ews category. now I saw the list, in this list neither allotted list nor refund list. it is final or one more list should be announced. Where I get correct information.

  • Its not final list. So many are still waiting under 20*30, 30*40.

• So finally BDA is repaying the initial deposit for non-allottees without any interest amount. Which they are not keeping their promise. They said that BDA will refund the money with interest if it takes more than 3 months.

  However it took ONE FULL YEAR yet no interest.

  • I still did not get the refund, mine is also 30X40. Infact I applied last Nov 2015. :(

• BDA uploaded refund detail of 1355 applicant.....

  • Guru, thanks i have gone through the list but I couldn't find my name in 30 x 40 site list, and I have applied for 30 x 40 site.

    Is there any update regarding this,

    • Same here. I had applied for a 30*40 site and did not get the allotment. I still haven't received the refund. 1000 refunds per day is so lousy. The intentions of BDA are dirty and suspicious - why is the refund limited to 1000 per day after such a huge delay of over 1 year?

  • Join the discussion

    • Guru in which site it is uploaded 1355 applicants refund - can you share the link please

      • You can find the list here
        We don't know what is the criteria for choosing these 1355 applicants for refund. We also don't know what is the timeline when others will start receiving the refund. During world war 2 era, Russia was called the Iron Curtain because of the total opacity in it's internal administration. Today BDA will win that title unanimously.

      • They uploaded list in BDA official website under Nada Prabhu Kempegowda layout details and in that category refund note tab....bdabangalore.org/KempeGowda1.html

• Sir, when will refund the amount for 20 x 30 site applied pers

• Refund has come!!

  • Anybody got refund amount please reply....
