The Governor may give
his assent to the much infamous regularization scheme in the name of `Akrama
Sakrama`, The Bill may bring cheer to thousands of property owners in the city,
who had violated and deviated the sanctioned building plan and all relevant
statutes. The property owners may now be able to regularise their building
byelaw deviations, specifically deviations in setback and floor area ratio. about
80 per cent of the 16 lakh properties in city have some deviation
As per the Karnataka
Town and Country Planning (KTCP)
and the amended Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976, residential
property owners will be able to regularise deviations up to a maximum of 50 per
cent and for the commercial buildings, the maximum deviations allowed is up to
25 per cent.
There is a clear cut of `CATCH` here. This will be known only at the time of regularisation to the VIOLATORS AND DEVIATORS, as the Quantum of deviation is abnormal and cannot be regulrised at all.
This may be applicable to buildings constructed before
December 3, 2009 but, the polity may decide the effective date.
The BBMP Commissioner Mr.M. Lakshminarayan
said that the building byelaw violations are common and most citizens
deviate from the sanctioned plan. This could be for a variety of reasons,
including vaastu. The BBMP only allows five per cent violations.
He said that the largest
beneficiaries of this scheme will be large apartment complexes and big
commercial buildings, who have accrued the violations. “Individual, small
property owners may not be in large numbers, neither will the deviations be
huge.”
Mr. Laskhminarayan said
the BBMP had not yet assessed the revenue that it will get from this one-time
payment to regularise their deviations. “However, the BBMP will not compromise
on safety aspects. Regularisation of deviations will be done only if there is a
full compliance of safety norms.”
