Having a residential plot in the Silicon Valley of India is everyone’s dream. To make your dream come true, the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) announces sites of different sizes at different locations of Bangalore. The development authority has taken up construction of flats at affordable prices. The flat will be allotted as per the BDA (allotment of sites) Rules 1984. There are 544 villages that are under the jurisdiction of the Bangalore Development Authority. BDA has the power to approve the layout plan in these villages. All District Commissioner (DC) converted lands must obtain layout plan approval from the BDA. The layout plan approval is always given for the whole layout only. The District Commissioner (DC) order comes with conditions. If the conditions are violated, the DC order stands automatically canceled without any notice being issued to the layout developer or the association.

Bangalore Development Authority

Bangalore Development Authority came into existence with an Act by the Govt of Karnataka in 1976, since it is striving hard to help the aspirants who wish to have a plot of land in the Silicon Valley of India. All properties and sites which come under the BDA jurisdiction must have BDA approval. Only the original Gramathana sites are excluded since they will likely be regularized in the proposed Akrama-Sakrama Scheme. If any layout under BDA jurisdiction doesn’t have BDA layout plan approval, they are considered as illegal or unauthorized layout.
