What does Akrama-Sakarma scheme not regularize?

Omar Khureshi, Bangalore

15th June 2015

It seems the Akrama Sakarma scheme has got Luke warm response. Till date the CMC has not received even one application under the scheme. What can be the reason? We all know that there are many buildings and residential plots sold to home buyers without proper legal approvals.

There is not much difference between 2007 rules and new rules. The new Akrama Sakrama rules published in May 2014 has lot of loopholes and it need to be fixed at the earliest.

What loopholes the new rule is having? @Bharat, Can anyone explain the loopholes?

Darpan Singh, Bangalore

11th March 2015

1) The Akrama Sakrama Rule which mentions of regularizing setback (minimum distance between the building and the boundary and between two buildings) and Floor Area Ratio violations, but there is no talk about violation in car parking space violation. What are the house owners with parking space violation supposed to do?

2) Akrama Sakrama Rules allow the regularization of residential buildings with deviation upto 50 per cent and non-residential buildings with deviation upto 25 per cent. Majority of the small houses in Bangalore have deviation exceeding 50 per cent, whereas most of the high-rise buildings have less than 50 per cent deviation. So who will reap the benefit out of the scheme?

3) According to the rule, application related to land use violation shall be forwarded to the concern Urban Development Authority or Planning Authority for approval. There are many urban local bodies in the state where Urban Development Authority or Planning Authority does not exist at all.

According to sources, the government will be utilizing the revenue collected from the city to fund its development programmes and clear the outstanding bills.

Vaibhav Bhatnagar, Bangalore

11th December 2013

Going by the rules proposed by the Akrama-Sakrama scheme, setback violations and FAR (floor area ratio) violations can be regularized up to 50% in residential units and 25% in non-residential buildings. According to market experts, Akrama-Sakrama is a golden opportunity for the violations to regularize their illegal constructions.

For all the non-residential buildings, if the encroachment does not surpass 12.5%, the regularization charges applicable will stand at 20% of the guidance value. However, for any kind of encroachment beyond 12.5 %, the penalty charged will be 35% of the guidance value.

With the government giving green signal to the scheme, a number of owners will be able to obtain permanent khatas for their properties. With a Khata in hand, property owners will be able to request for building plan approvals and apply for finance from banks. Furthermore, layouts which are structured in the absence of land conversion and approvals from planning authorities such as BIAAPA, BDA and BMRDA will also gain from the scheme.

Manu Kumar, Bangalore

In addition to the benefits proposed by the scheme, Akrama-Sakrama will be game-changer for the cash starved BBMP. With the implementation of the act, BBMP will be loaded with revenue (around Rs 500 crore) in the form of property tax. Under the scheme, BBMP will be legally entitled to acquire betterment and conversion fees from property owners for offering civic facilities such as drainage, road and sanitary.

The scheme in this format is DUMPED as it is totally illegal and the amended or modified version may be approved by the legislature in Belgaum meet. If the buyers had been diligent, then, this situation would not arose for them to FEEL THE HEAT. It is their own making and creation. Wait till further orders and even that legislation/ordinance/order could be contested or challenged in the court of law. Eco Pack

In between all the hussle-bussle, the residents of unauthorized structures are the one who feel the heat. Although, few find it a good opportunity to pay the penalty once and for all and regularize the property, for some it the scheme is an additional trouble.

Comment

As an attempt to regularise illegal constructions in the Garden city, the State Government has taken a major move by bringing forth an amiable and society-friendly scheme-Akrama Sakrama, modifying the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 2004.

According to government officials, the scheme will have a dab hand at regularizing unauthorized and illegal buildings. The scheme also hits on the violations and penalty charges on residential structures and cuts them by 75%.

Rakesh, Bangalore

23rd October 2013

Going by the government officials, the Akrama Sakrama scheme chip in huge revenue (up to 5000 crore) that will aid in making cities far more developed. However, on the contrary, experts believe the scheme to be a scam and question the government’s move. Furthermore, legal experts suggest that cutting loose of the official machinery in civic firms that encouraged the violations significantly, the government has sent an erroneous signal that will work against it.

Dear Sir,
All B form or B kathas are not eligible for regularisation. B Form is issued for the properties, after the tax is paid from 2006 to 2013 and will not confer any right, title and interest on the tax payer. Katha is a secondary title deed, which certifies that the holder`s name is registered with the municipality, ward, zone, area, road and how it is assessed to the tax. If the applicant or the owner of the property submits false or fake or tampered or wrong or misrepresents the facts at the time of transfer, the katha automatically gets cancelled. Hence, the katha is a VITAL document and the proper katha ensures easy transfer and high value.

How does the status of Khata impact the property value or its return potential?

Jackie,

30th September 2013

Comment

As far as I know A Khata has got more value and is eligible for bank loans where as B Khata will not be eligible for obtaining any kind of bank loans as it will have lessor value. Recently the Karnataka Government has announced the Akrama and Sakrama Schemes in which all the B Khatas issued by BBMP will be regularized by collecting some penalty. Once these properties are regularized the value of those properties will increase automatically.

For commercial property in BBMP areas, if violations are 25% or less, fines would be 20% of the guidance value of the area, if violations cross 25%, fines would be 35% of the guidance value..

Previously, the scheme had moral and ethical issues related to it. According to the petitioners, the proposal for the scheme is compound to 50% violations for residential buildings and 25% violation for commercial structures. On paying of the penalty it would contribute to choking of cities and haphazard growth.

Is there any kind of penalty for the violators?

Virendra, Bangalore

Comment

For commercial properties, the penalty would depend on the percentage of the violations. For violation of 25% or less, the fine would be 20% of the guidance value of the area, whereas for violation of 25%, the penalty would be 35% of the guidance value.

Yogendra, Bangalore

13th July 2013

For revenue sites, the fine would range between Rs 5000- Rs 2.1 lakh. In Zone A, the maximum fine for construction on a 20 x 30 ft site is likely to be Rs 45000 and in Zone B it is Rs 30000. The maximum fine for building a 30x40 ft site in Zone A will be Rs 90000 and Rs 60000 in Zone B. The maximum penalty for building on a 40x60 ft site is around 2.1 lakh and 1.8 lakh in Zone A and B.

Yogendra, Bangalore

13th July 2013

Properties ranging between 30-40 ft will have to pay a penalty of RS 48000, while properties measuring between 40-60 ft will have to pay a fine of 1.37 lakh

Amarnath, Bangalore

Since the scheme was launched, the government was charging Rs 200 for 60 sq mts and Rs 400 per sq mts for properties ranging between 60 sq mts and 120 sq mts. Rs 600 per sq meters was charged for properties beyond 120 sq mts.

The scheme offers a one-time opportunity for approximately 8 lakh buildings along with building bylaw violators in the city. To add to it, the scheme also allows 6 lakh violators near the urban districts of Karnataka to regularize their construction

Developers in Bangalore do not construct apartments as per the guidelines given by the state government. The Government does not want to demolish such illegal construction and have come out with this scheme to regularize it by levying fine and penalty. It is called AKRAMA-SAKRAMA.

When AKRAMA-SAKRAMA was formed?

Niketan Verma, Bangalore

23rd October 2013

Late in 2007, the government took a step forward on the regularization of all kinds of illegal construction and development in urban regions, by enacting KTPC-Karnataka Town and Country Planning 2004 in providing 90 days for the regularization of primarily 4 kinds of irregularities.

In regard in this, September 2007 witnessed the launch of Akrama-Sakrama scheme after the fees and rules for regularization, on the basis of the violation type were outlined. According to BBMP norms, the four types of irregularities may include:

Buildings having land use violation
Violation of floor area
plot of land in subdivided or unauthorized layout
setback violation( 25% for commercial and 50% for residential)

The rules made it evident that the compounding fee would range between Rs 100- Rs 600 per sq m, banking on the size of the building and area.
