Namma Bengaluru, with its burgeoning population, is witnessing a sea change in the kind of housing that is available for its citizens. Even in as recently as 2005, those looking to invest or set up base in Bangalore, preferred to buy a site and build their house from scratch. The reality now is different. While people will probably always prefer to own an independent house, the lack of space has made it necessary for them to look upwards.

The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) in 2012, in line with the real estate trend, and declared that ‘vertical’ was the way forward. With this announcement, it began the construction of 30000 affordable housing units, making the flats available for the taking by the public.

How many projects have been commissioned until 2014?

The BDA has so far constructed or undertaken the construction of about 6000 units in places across the city, including Valagerahalli, Gunjur, Thippasandra, Nandini Layout, Halagevaderahalli, Malagala, Doddabanahalli, Alur and Kothanur. 650 flats in Nandini layout (EWS quarters) have already been occupied.

In some locations such as Valagerahalli Phase 3, Gidadakonenahalli and Sonnenahalli, projects have been put on hold due to litigations. Once they get clearance from the court, work on these projects will proceed. So far, no project has been cancelled, even as the BDA is pursuing the court cases.

In the 4th notification dated February 28th 2014, the BDA once again called for applications for 4228 flats in the following locations:

  3. Eligible applicants need to register their names by paying registration fees at any one of the prescribed banks. The registration slip should be retained by the applicant and upon allotment, must be returned to the BDA. Those applicants who have already registered for allotment (in any of the prior notifications), need not register again. The old registration card can be used to submit the present application.

  4. BDA officers will not issue any application forms.

  5. The filled application form along with initial deposit should be submitted in the same branch where the registration has been done. An acknowledgement can then be collected from the bank.

  6. The initial deposit needs to be in the form of a DD/Banker’s Cheque/Pay Order drawn in favour of the Commissioner, BDA.

  7. Applicants can apply for a flat in a single locality. If they wish to apply for a flat in more than one location, they need to fill out a separate application form for each location, and initial deposit applicable must be paid. Only one flat will be allotted to those who have applied for flats in more than one locality.

  8. The previous attempt of the applicants will be considered for seniority at the time of allotment of flats.

  9. The following applications will not be considered for allotment

    • Applications without the initial deposit

    • Applications without necessary documents

    • Unsigned and incomplete applications  

  1. No interest will be paid on the initial deposit. This amount will be adjusted towards the total cost of the flat in the case of successful applicants, and refunded without interest in case of unsuccessful applicants.

  2. If any of the information provided by the applicant is false or misleading, the allotment will stand cancelled and registration fee and deposit paid will be forfeited.

  3. Limited parking space is available for the flats; in some apartments, for only about 50% of the flats. This will be allotted among the allottees through auction after all the allotment is done.  

  4. The BDA reserves the right to reduce or increase the number of flats in case of unexpected developments.

  5. The last date to send in applications for the 4th notification is April 30th 2014.

Payment procedure

Once the allotment is made, allottees are required to make the payment as follows:

  1. 25% of the housing unit value of the flat within 60 days of receiving the allotment letter

  2. 25% of the housing unit value of the flat within 120 days of receiving the allotment letter

  3. Remaining value of the housing unit value of the flat along with BWSSB and BESCOM deposits within 180 days of receiving the allotment letter

Only after the payment of the entire value of the flat and verification of the documents submitted, will the ownership deed be handed over.

What is the quality compared to private flats?

Initially, many citizens had reservations about the quality of the flats, as they were being sold for almost half of what a private builder would quote. However, by late 2013, that perception changed. Citizens are now of the opinion that the flats are apt for middle class citizens, in terms of affordability — a similar sized flat constructed by a private builder, would cost almost double when compared to the rates set by the BDA.

Mr Gowdaiah N G, BDA Engineer Officer, says that there has been no compromise in the quality of materials used, considering that the entire scheme was bound to be scrutinised with a keen eye. While different builders have been chosen for different locations, all the material that is being used for construction, needed to meet the Indian Standard specifications and samples of the same should have been vetted by the BDA.

What are the conditions of BDA on resale?

While the BDA certainly hopes that allottees retain the flats and do not put it up for sale, as of now no conditions have been imposed with respect to the resale of flats. Once allottees are in possession of the absolute Sale Deed for the flats, they can choose to sell the flats if they wish to. Even for those who have been allotted a flat under the EWS category at a subsidised rate, no restrictions/conditions have been imposed.

What are the conditions of BDA regarding renting out flats?

As with the case of resale, the BDA says that allottees could choose to rent out the apartments once they are in possession of the Sale Deed.

Can allottees apply for an exchange of flats?

The BDA stated after first allotment that in case people wished to exchange the flats, a mutual exchange was possible, so long as the flats belonged to the same category; both parties would need to make a joint application.

In case allottees are dissatisfied with the flat they have been allotted or have not been assigned one as per their preferred location, they can choose to surrender the flat and the money paid so far will be refunded. Following this, the individuals can apply once again and seniority will be given to them at the time of the next flat allotment.

Who will register the owners association for the flats?

The flat owners will need to form their own owners association for maintenance of the flats – the BDA has listed this as one of the conditions at the time of allotting the flats. The BDA will facilitate the forming of the association.

The Karnataka Apartment Owners Association Act of 1972 will be applicable to the owners association.

Who will run the amenities and maintain the apartments? Who will collect the maintenance fees?

There is a defect liability period of two years for the flats and the common built up area. Defects, if any, will be rectified by the builder for up to two years. The apartment owners association is expected to handle the maintenance of the flats.

  11. Ravi Kiran K N says:

    Hi, Thanabal. I have already applied and also got the allotment letter of 3rd notification.
    The domicile certificate was there in the application only. You just need to get it attested from a gazetted officer by mentioning 10 years. This is what i know from 3rd notification.
    As far as registration charges are concerned, the allotment letter says 5.05% of total amt is extra.

  12. Thanabal says:

  18. gundappa deva nagari says:

    Hi Everyone.
    Please consider below points before applying.
    1) People applied in 2011,2012 & 2013 for flats. first time allotment is done in Dec-2013.
    we don’t know when BDA will do next allotment no one in BDA know about it. It may drag 1-2 years.
    Apply only if you are ready to wait for 2 years.
    2). Allotment process is total mess, BDA officials reserved prime location and flats for their kin & keens. fooling all applicant
    For example : During recent allotment BDA lied to applicant that all 2BHK & 3BHK flats of Vallagerahalli ( which is only near to completion project among others ) are allotted. And then allotted other location flats to applicants who preferred this location. But if you tally flat availability list published before allotment with allotted list you will find around 60 flats of Valagerahlli are not yet allotted. These flat BDA officials will distribute them among themselves and their kin & keens. BDA is most corrupt.
    4) Allotment intimation letters for 2 & 3 BHK flats which are allotted in Dec-2013 are not yet issued to allottees
    5) Apart from Valagerahalli all other allotted location flat construction is just started and will take minimum 18-20 months to complete and handover to allottees.
    5) There is no guaranty that you will get the flat in your preferred location. In previous allotment less than 30% of allottees got flat in their preferred location.

  19. Venkatesh Methre says:

    Has anyone from Kothunr got allotment letter, if yes let me know to whom i need to contact. Currently i am based in US and what is the fromality to get it regesterd. I have got 2-BHK in kothunor.

  20. gundappa deva nagari says:

    ‘@ Venkatesh Methre. BA sent allotment letters to few people and later found the format is wrong and stopped sending allotment letters. They are planning to send it in new format to all but not sure when they each time I required they told they will dispatch it in a week. Only GOD know when that week comes to these BDA officers.

  21. Venkatesh Methre says:

    ‘@Gundappa. I know that they are sending the Second letter with the updated details. But any guys who ave been alloted at kothunor have got it? If so may i know when?.

  22. Venkatesh B T says:

    Any is getting allotment letter for 2nd Notification Applicants from BDA (unsuccessful candidates)
    however flats are only in Doddabanahalli and Kanminiki only as per their updates

  23. gundappa deva nagari says:

    ‘@ Venkatesh, BDA confirmed all allotment letters are dispatched ( I too received). if you still not got then contact DS-3 section ( for 2 BHK) DS-1 section for (3 BHK)

  24. Venkatesh Methre says:

    I too received the letter, but may i know what’s the procedure to pay the rest of the money. Through DD? Need to deposit in bank or BDA? if you guys have already paid then Let me know about this .
    Venkatesh

  25. Venkatesh B T says:

    Available flats are only in Doddabanahalli and kanminiki for 2nd unsuccessful allotment applicants.
    May end we will get confirmation which place and again they will going to send 1 more letter for the amount.

  26. Venkatesh B T says:

    if any one is interested to apply RIT through High court please share the details as even i am also interested. As 40% of the 2nd notification applicants were unsuccessful to get flats and BDA gave for 3rd notification Applicants which is illegal and enquired with advocate and they said 2nd notification applicants has rights on this matter.

  27. Thanabal says:

    Hi folks is any one know the status that how much applications BDA got, is process begun or any other related news pls. update us.

  28. Venkatesh B T says:

    Dear friends any idea when BDA will confirm on allotment for 2nd allotted notification people?

  29. Venkatesh B T says:

    Dear Friends, if any 2nd notification Applicants wants to file a case against BDA to stop / stay to the BDA flat allotment for 3rd notification applicants. Giving flats to 3rd notification is illegal as BDA has not followed their word as per 2nd notification and even in seniority also made a mistake so if any wants to file a case please reach out me so that we can plan asap. Venkatesh 9980344391,Arun – 9945564063 Nanjuni – 9845970808 Vidyantathan – 9448291522

  30. Venkatesh B T says:

    Dear friends, during BDA flats allotments many malfunction / mismanagement had occurred and many 2nd notification applicants (applied during May 2012) not got their prescribed flats but 3rd notification applicants which they applied on 2013 got Kengeri / Valgerahali and which is illegal. As per BDA 2nd notification Applicants should get 1st and if any left out should be handed over to 3rd notification.
    So we are planning to file a case against BDA – filing a RIT to stop 3rd notification allotments so if any one interested pl reach out to Venkatesh 9980344391,Arun – 9945564063 Nanjundi – 9845970808 Vidyantathan – 9448291522.
    BDA did mistake in the following points:-
    1) All 2nd notification applicants did not get allotment but they allotted to 3rd notification applicants.
    2) Gunjur 3BHK is not allotted for 2nd notification applicants but allotted to 3rd notification applicants.
    3) They shortlisted 2nd notification applicants which is not supposed to do and even while shortlisting they were not followed the BDA allotment procedure – Engineer will say applicants were selected on DD purchase date but few BDA officer will say on Application submission date but even through RTI which is not clear and not informed the right information.

  31. Thanabal says:

    1, Construction are 90% completed, 2, 600 flats looks like a colony, 3, Nice ventilation, 4, Spacious corridor, steps, Road (one no need to avail parking slot), 5, Good Water source as many lakes around

    Hello Folks,
    I would like to inform the allottees of EWS flats and other allottees with an annual income of less than Rs 2 Lakhs, that they are eligible to avail a highly subsidized housing loan upto an amount of Rs 5 Lakhs at an interest rate of 5% PA. This scheme is highly under-publicized since financial institutions are afraid that this section of population will not repay the loan. I urge the allottees to avail this scheme which is an initiative of the Ministry of Urban Development.

    Dear All,

    BDA will be sending allotment letter with in 10 days for unsuccessful 2nd Notification Applicants which we had applied during 2012 for 2 and 3 BHK fltas

    Thanks and Regards,

    Dear all,
    The 4th notification was issues on 28th feb 2014 and even as may 2015 approaches end bda flat allotment for 2bhk is not done (just allotment not even possession). 4th notification cost is at par with private builders and we have deposited interest free lacs of rupees to bda.

    BDA people are not responding . We are kept in complete dark. Itstime we all must unite and raise our voice. We are from middle class and can keep our hard earned money with bda for years without interest. Either they should hand over the flats,or pay interest on the deposit or reduce the unreasonably high cost.

    They increased the rate in 4th notification enormously citing increase in land cost and raw material cost. but the fact is they have already acquired the land years back for a penny there hasnt been any significant rise in raw material cost. So they shouldn’t increase the cost. Keeping all that aside atleast they must declare the result and hand over the possession as its been more the yer.

    I tried contacting citizen matters’ team but all efforts gone in vain. May be some “Pressure” that they have stopped covering bda flat stories.

    So now its time for we citizens to fight for our rights ourselves.

    Dear all

    List of 4th Notification 2 BHK Flats Eligible Applicants updated on BDA website
    http://www.bdabangalore.org/Flats.html

  60. Pushpam says:

    BDA recently published list of eligible candidates for 2bhk flats.Can can anyone help me on the following issues :
    1) Are eligible candidates same as alloted candidates or they are the ones with correct documents?

    2) for doddabanahalli, in 4th notification they advertised for 576 flats, but they have published a list of 159. Why?

  61. Thanabal says:

    2014 2BHK notification applicant attention; check your status here http://www.bdabangalore.org/Flats.html more over the flat number selection lottery will be held on June 18 at 11 PM in BDA head office

  62. Venkatesh B T says:

    Hi Pushpam,

    They are all eligible Applicants – based on the Documents provided and also they will all get allotment and they will give flats to them only.
    The other reason is they have only that many left flats and again BDA should give to 2nd notification applicants as well as still they were pending so remaining will not be getting right now.

  63. gopinath says:

    Dear All

    Any update on 4th Notification 2 BHK Flats numbers for eligible applicant.

  64. Venkatesh B T says:

    Dear friends,

    Could any one share me the Housing loan details – which bank is best.
    I need to get around 20lakhs. as per BDA we should be payed 2 months and my 1st installment should be paid before Aug 2015.
    Bank will give in 1 shot or can we request them to give 4 installment to the BDA so that we can save interest and even i am interested to take 3 to 4 installment from Bank – please suggest as i am planning to go with SBI.

  65. Thanabal says:

    ‘@Venkat,

    1, Always loan from PSU Bank (Government) will be good rather than going to private bank, why because the interest rate will be lesser than pvt bank and former soon reflect RBI policy where as pvt bank take time to reflect RBI.

    2, SBI will be the best but they ask your Tax return acknowledgement of past 3 year, any way you try that first, their base rate is 9.7% (lowest interest in banking industry)

    3, I took loan from UCO Bank as their interest is “Base rate” now at 9.95% that is home loan interest too.

    4, You need to ask bank that what ever the interest rate they tell is base rate or interest link to base rate (for example HDFC tell interest rate is Y, that will base rate”X + N”, every bank has their own base rate, from base rate different loan type (personal loan) will differ as X+Number (my conclusion is if base rate is your home loan interest rate means it will be better, as RBI force bank to reduce their base rate but not the “N” that add on to base rate)

    5, Use bankbazaar dot com to find best interest giving bank, look for any procession fee concession

    6, Bank will give money how you ask, I mean schedule, you have to write a letter saying I want this much amount on this date so on. yes you can save interest on this,

    7, Start EMI from as first schedule initiate, they may offer you 6 month payment holiday where in you have to pay only interest not premium, don’t opt that since you end up paying extra with none of premium paid

    I preferred UCO bank as there is no much customer, so they are loan hungry, they treat you pleasantly (I got processing fee 4k wave off that time)

Fishers of Thiruvanmiyur Kuppam: Aborigines of the coast, not ‘Beach Grabbers’

Fishers of Chennai's Thiruvanmiyur Kuppam challenge encroachment claims, defending their long-standing rights amid coastal development.

The dispute between the fishermen and the more affluent, non-fishing residents of Thiruvanmiyur and Besant Nagar has simmered for years, highlighting tensions over land use, development, and livelihoods. Acting upon the complaint from the residents (non-fishers) in the locality, the GCC demolished the temporary constructions made by the fishers of Thiruvanmiyur Kuppam in June this year. Being less than 40 metres from the coastline, they were termed encroachments. A mainstream news outlet even referred to fishers' construction as ‘beach robbery,’ emphasising concerns that the illegal construction of houses and pathways could lead to the loss of turtle nesting sites and…

Bellandur Lake rejuvenation: An urgent call for action

Citizens have strongly disapproved the slow progress on Bellandur Lake's rejuvenation project. Immediate intervention is needed to avoid failure.

Bellandur Lake, Bengaluru’s largest water body, has been at the heart of an ambitious rejuvenation project since 2020. However, persistent delays, severe funding shortages, and inadequate planning have left citizens increasingly frustrated.
