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.

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 on ‘ KG 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….

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.
• The person applying for allotment of sites should be a domicile in Karnataka for not less than 15 years prior to the date of site registration. Age of the applicant should be atleast 18 years.
• 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.

(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.
