How do you buy a SAFE property?

Bangalore property buyer often get confused with different options available to them for purchase. Also, the recent article in news paper about some builders misrepresenting the approval has created lot of apprehensions among buyers, so are you aware of BDA, BBMP, BMRDA, BIAPPA, MPA, DC Converted, DTCP etc?


Ethical builders like CMRS Group always provide the right guidance and information to buyers. But you can also learn few things yourself. Here is a quick guide to straighten the things out.

 First and foremost you should know that Non-farmers are not allowed to purchase agricultural land in Karnataka, only a converted land (Originally most land was used for agriculture) can be used for residential purchase and can be freely sold by anyone. Conversion of land from 'Agricultural' status to 'residential' has to be done by the farmer himself before you conclude your deal and get the property registered. 

 Legal Layouts
For the converted land, the plan of the layout needs to be approved by the relevant town planning authority. Bangalore’s Local Planning Area is conceptually organised into three main rings for consideration of zoning and regulations. The inner core is the BBMP area, which has expanded recently, with the inclusion of 110 surrounding villages. This is surrounded by a thin strip which falls under the BDA. This BDA limit is encircled by the BMRDA. The BMRDA, through its five Town Planning Authorities ( Nelamangala, Kanakapura, Magadi, Anekal and Hoskote), is the plan sanctioning authority for all properties falling in the third section.

 Again, there is BIAPA that looks into the airport area development, which includes parts of Bangalore North, Devanahalli and Doddaballapur. It has similar  powers as the BMRDA and is a plan sanction authority only for land use around the airport.

 There is also the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructural Corridor Area Planning Authority (BMICAPA) that oversees the area surrounding Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor. In Bangalore this includes parts of Kengeri, Uttarahalli and Yeshwanthpur. There are also many village Panchayats that work in these limits which have their own powers.

 Development of Apartments
Even if the apartment you plan to buy is on a land which comes under town planning authority and the land has been approved by the same, it is safe to ensure the 'No Objection Certificate' or 'NOC' from BDA. There are two types of NOC. The first is, that so far they have not tried to acquire the land with that particular survey number. The second is, that they do not have any objection to the coming up of a residential layout on that land in future. Both these NOCs are important and necessary.

 So, there is lots to validate before you invest your hard earned money in a property. Either you equip yourself with legal knowledge in validating all these or invest in safe properties from ethical builders like CMRS Group which ensures that you are buying a safe property. CMRS Group puts all these in the agreement and indemnify you from any legal hassles that you may be afraid of in future.

Buyer Safety : Right To Property Gone, be cautious when you buy a Property

150 residents of I Block at  HRBR Layout, in northeast Bengaluru, received a notice from the tahasildar of Bangalore East taluk to vacate their houses within two days, as they were built on an encroached tank bed.  The tahasildar's notice said that their structures, on Survey No. 211 of Banaswadi village, are on a 'Government Lake' bed that had been encroached on.   What went wrong when they bought it? As the Constitution was originally drafted, the Right To Property was enshrined as a fundamental right. By the 44th Amendment to the Constitution, the right to property was removed as a fundamental right! The result is that the right to property as a fundamental right is now substituted as a statutory right. The amendment expanded the power of the state to appropriate any private property for social welfare purposes. Also, the adequacy of compensation payable on acquisition or requisition could not be questioned in a court of law. There were 262 lakes in Bangalor...
