DC Converted Sites Regularization by BBMP - A Khata issueh

[Kambal]

Recently I read in news paper that Karnataka High court had issued order that BBMP to resume collection of betterment charges for the DC converted revenue sites in the newly-added BBMP areas with immediate effect, at a uniform rate of Rs 550 per square metre.

I am owning a DC converted revenue site and last week inquired about payment of betterment charges to get A Khata. I am told that till date BBMP has officially not started collecting betterment charges, but A Khata can be issued if bribe is paid.

I am surprised - even after high court order BBMP has not issued any guidelines to public on the subject and publicly demanding bribe.

Anybody succeeded recently in getting A Khata for a revenue site after paying betterment charges? Please share your experience.

Thanks
