BBMP has issued circular, for collecting betterment charges from individual sites made out of DC Converted lands.
Those who have bought DC Converted sites without BBMP/BDA/BMRDA Approval can make use of this window to
pay the betterment charges and get A Khata from the authority.

I am waiting for BBMP to start collecting Betterment charges. I understand that the BBMP is busy collecting Property Tax (using old currency notes) and hence they've not had time to look into this. Also, there might be a Gazette notification pending from the Govt of Karnataka. Once these are done, things should move.

Any other updates?

This is related to the collecting betterment charges from the total land peice(Not for individual Sites) was put on hold due to HC order as it was challenged through PIL.This is not part of the proposed 'Akrama-Sakrama' Scheme.

I think today the HC has given green signal for implementing 'Akrama-Sakrama' scheme to regularize the unauthorized layout individual sites and the construction violations by collecting penalty. But this scheme doesn't apply for Govt Land encroachments, SWD or lakebed encroachments.

Thanks for the information.

The news in the papers are mentioning that BBMP will collect only for Unauthorised Buildings.

"Applications pertaining to unauthorised layouts and sites, received in future, will be handled by the Bengaluru Development Authority (BDA)". Looks like there is a new twist.

Hope BDA Sakala can be used to get A khatas.
