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.

  • I have been a permanent resident of Bangalore since 1963. Do i need to submit a domicile certificate?

    Rgds - Sai

  • Hi Sreekanth,

    I am residing in bangalore. When i went to my parent's place, I got the Registration and Application form at a bank in Kolar which was eligible to provide the forms as per BDA.

    But after i got application i was told since I am staying in Bangalore I need to get application form only in Bangalore. Only then it will be considered else not or Only Bangalore applications will be given preference and less preference to outside Bangalore.

    Please can you suggest if i need to buy a new Application form in Bangalore now? Appreciate your response.

    • Dear Shilpa,
      I believe that this is just a rumor. You may go ahead with your existing application. The allotment depends on many factors and on little bit of luck too :)

  • The employment certificate in the form is to be filled and signed by the employer for people who work in govt sector only or is to be furnished by the general category applicants working in private companies also?

  • once we get allotment letter from BDA, what is the time period we have to pay the complete amount and get the site registered to our name
    will we hav e time to approach banks for loan

    • Dear Sir,

      I want to apply for BDA site in KG Layout. I dont have any site/flat in bangalore. so I want to apply in EWS category. This is the first time I am applying for BDA site. so what is the insial deposit I have to pay sir,

      • Dear jyothi,
        Kindly refer to the table provided in the article. Under EWS category you can apply for 600 sq ft plots. Initial deposit is Rs 26,200 or Rs 65,500 depending on your caste.

    • Dear Vijay..As far as I am aware, BDA generally gives around 45 days time to pay the balance amount before registering the plot. Yes, you can get loans from banks (based on your income & eligibility).

  • is there any reservation for Senior Citizens. Whether Retired Government employees will be treated as Government employees even after their retirement.

    • Dear Prakash,
      I believe that Sr citizens would be given due priority while allocating the plots. But I do not think there is any reservation as such.
      You can apply as Central Govt employee.

  • Sir,
    I am a homemaker, want to apply site under EWS as my husband's income is within 1lakh. As am a homemaker how can i provide an income certificate.

    • Dear Vandana..then in such a scenario you husband himself can apply and produce valid income certificate.

  • Sir,

    I want to apply site in EWS category, for this a computerized Income certificate issued by Tahsildar is enough or I should get the signature of Tahsildar on application form also.

    2. Will Tahsildar sign on income certificate format in application?

    Plz help me.

  • Dear sir,

    If I apply for nada prahu layout ,it would be my 6th attempt .but my husband has already been allotted a bda site of bigger dimension. So will I be allotted the bda site?can the spouse have a second bad site. Today I bought the application form. So before paying the initial deposit Ineed to be sure about this.

    • Dear Gayathri,
      Kindly note that , if you or any of your family member (spouse or dependent family member) has already been allotted any BDA / Govt site then you are not eligible to apply for allotment of site in Kempegowda BDA Layout.

      • Hi srikanth,

        what are the documents required to get domicile. Also, we have small certificate section on the BDA form. Do we need to attach separate certificate to BDA form or just signature of gazetted officer on that form is enough? Please guide.

        • Dear Pavan,
          To be frank, I have not seen the application form (as I currently reside outside Karnataka). I believe that you need to submit copy of domicile certificate which you can get from Revenue or tasildar office.
