Overview
- The approval covers sites, buildings, apartments and flats in layouts formed without competent authority approval within urban local bodies.
- Law Minister H. K. Patil called it a policy measure aligned with last July’s decision that regularised BBMP-issued records up to September 30, 2024.
- About 10 lakh properties are estimated to benefit statewide, with revenue collections yet to be determined and issuance contingent on obtaining planning authority approvals.
- Officials signalled penalties would accompany regularisation, and the relief does not extend to deviations from sanctioned building bylaws.
- The shift is expected to ease lending and licensing barriers for owners, while new unauthorised properties after September 30, 2024 remain ineligible under the Greater Bengaluru Governance Act.
