The scheme seeks to regularize up to 50 per cent in residential buildings and up to 25 per cent in non-residential buildings violations of setback norms and permissible FAR. Any violation above this would attract demolition.
Only the rightful owner of a property can apply under this scheme provided the violation is with respect with the floor area ration and set back area and within the permissible limits.
If the development is more than the permissible limits it will not be regularized until and unless the violation is brought down within the prescribed limits.
Yes Utpal you have to pay regularization fees and scrutiny fee along with the application form. About the calculation of the fee, your respective engineer will guide you.
The regularization fee is calculated on the guidance value set by the Department of Stamps and Registration.
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. So it was home buyers who are expected to get benefited.
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.
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 clearance. There are several urban local bodies in the state where Urban Development Authority or Planning Authority does not exist at all. In that case which authority shall scrutinize the application and give clearance for regulation?
