It will take around 10days - I was informed. There is number given for follow up and coordination with the geologist. For empty site use the 2nd form and fees is 450/-

I got the approval to dig a borewell a few months back. Before I forget the details, here is the process:

Phase I:
1. Print Form 1 A in http://bwssb.org/wp-content/uploads/201 ... -forms.pdf
2. Go to a Notary (I went near Jayanagar 4th block registrar office) and get an affidavit stating the purpose of drilling borewell and distance from nearest public borewell. Paid 150 Rs
3. Pay 50 Rs challan in canara bank to the account mentioned in the above form. Since I was constructing a house, I was asked to pay 500 Rs challan a second time (house construction is apparently commercial use)
4. Take a copy of challan, khata, tax paid receipt, latest EC (sale deed if need be)
5. Go to BWSSB Cauvery Bhavan 2nd floor office and meet Mr, Ravindra
6. His assistant Geetha will provide a signature and ask you to submit in 7th floor
7. Get acknowledgement
Phase II:
1. BSWSSB will forward to Vishwesarya towers 13th floor Department of ground water and mines
2.Meet with the office and confirm the geologist in charge. Confirm that the application is in order (i was asssigned senior Geoligist Mr Nagabhushan)
3. (I had not submitted affidavit and had only submitted 50 Rs Challan. Hence I was asked to resubmit these)
4. Sr. Geologist will call you and fix up a time for site visit.
5. Sr. Geologist will visit the site and also recommend a point for drilling borewell. He reaffirmed the points given to me by the coconut method and a different geologist I had hired
6. He will expect due bribe to be paid
7. Collect the letter next day if you took care of 6 above from Vishwesarya towers 13th floor. Pay a small amount (they said service charge or something! Amount was small, 30 Rs) to the person providing you the approval letter.

I was unfortunate that we drilled borewell and did not get water. More on that later

Very sorry to hear this Krishna....looking forward eagerly to understand what went wrong. Honestly speaking, i do not believe the geologists, since, you had this verified by the coconut method too, i am surprised to know that it failed....which part of bangalore is this??

For those who want to get the Affidavit done (step 3 in phase II above), attached is the form you need to get in an e-stamp paper (see last page for more details). Also I was asked to get a DD (again, see the last page)

Hi,

My contractor is telling me that we need to give affidavit for borewell approval as we had already dig the borewell. He is telling me to make a payment of Rs. 2,500 along with affidavit and notary.

Prasanna,

Yes. Borewell registration is mandatory. I got it done before the first deadline of Mar31. So I don't know the current process correctly but someone told me that you need to go to Kaveri bhavan.
For registration the charges might be 500 + affidavit charges of 200 or so. Don't know why your contractor has quoted 2500.

@vps_bak,

I am not able to see the attachment that you have mentioned about. Would it be possible for you to post the affidavit and request letter format?

Thanks!
