Regularization of unauthorized developments and constructions (Part-2)
The Handbooks containing details for regularization are available at Bangalore One Centers, Post Offices and Apex Bank branches. The applications come along with the handbook. There are worked examples in the Handbook for various types of regularization. If the building that is to be regularized has more than two floors, a structural engineer has to certify that the building is structurally safe. The application should be accompanied by the required documents and respective fees.
After 14th December 2007, the applications will be processed for their corrections and if the violations are within permissible limits, then the screening committee will recommend for regularization. The competent authority will issue a certificate in this regard.
The BBMP has set up information kiosks at their 8 Zonal offices, various Citizen Service Centers, BBMP complexes, various BDA Complexes, KSRTC and BMTC Bus stands. If one fails to apply for regularization within the prescribed time, then supply of water and electricity to the building will be liable for disconnection.
Encroachments on government lands, on neighbor’s lands, constructions on basements, land reserved for civic amenities, land below high tensions wires, developments in the agriculture zone or the green belt areas etc. cannot be regularized.
