The urban experts, are of the opinion that a scam is gearing up under the eyewash of regularizing the scheme. This is because, the government has made a hurried attempt in implementing the bull with an ordinance, without conducting any kind of discussion in the Assembly. Making matters worse, as per the legal experts the government has been sending out wrong signals by letting out the official machinery in civic firms, which were accountable for violations.

Confusion and skepticism about the bill still drive a majority of the people. A lot of people still prefer to give a second thought regarding the usefulness of the bill, however, for some the ‘ready to be implemented’ guidelines of the bill will be of great assistance for both the authority and the people. For such group of people, the guidelines will help them in regularizing their properties. However, a handful of property owners are of the notion that the bill is so designed, it will act as a boon for the land mafias, and fall deaf ears to the plight of the common man.

Accroding to the sources, they have extended the period for filling application to one year from three months. The authority will issue regularization certificate to the applicants , once the documents are complete and spot inspections are done.

Although the penalties for violations have been fixed in the guidelines, however, they are not finalized yet. The guidelines are prepared after acquiring the permission of the Governor.With the guidelines coming in, the government is expected to mop-up a revenue of Rs 5000 crore from the city. As per the government, the money can be put to use for the development of towns and cities of Karnataka, including Bangalore.

According to sources, buildings from six to nine metres in height, the setback on all sides should be one metre. The setback should be five metres on all sides for a buildings over 11.5 metres height and a plot size of 4,000 sq metres.

FAR includes escalators, open balconies, staircase and corridors.

Ground Coverage means total area covered by the building immediately above the plinth level. In ground coverage things like swimming pool, sump, pump house and electric substation and utilities are not included.

A high-rise building is of a height of 24 metres or more above the average surrounding ground level. If the road width is less than 9 metres, then the maximum height is restricted to 11.5 metres or stilt +GF+2 floors (whichever is less).

The main and the common violationis with the regard to setback area (the minimum distance between two buildings). The percentage of setback violation is 93.25%. This has led to complaining of encroachment, blocking of ventilation and neighbours fighting. The second most important breach refer to the coverage area:total area encompassed by the building right above the pedestal level.ViOLATIONS RELATED TO floor area ratio of a building site that is calculated on the width of the road

Yeah its a good news actually. Finally Akrama-Sakrama got the green signal from CM. With the help of Akrama Sakarma the government aimed at standardizing the deviation of upto 25% in commercial buildings and 50% in residential ones But according to the survey done, it seems the violation are more in most of the cases.

Hi Guys!! It seems BBMP town planning department have conducted a random survey in Chickpet, Herohalli, A Narayanapura and Vidyaranyapura. Out of the 400 building surveyed, three buildings were found to have flouted one or the other rule.Not even one per cent of the buildings fit in to sanctioned plans and other civic rules
