Hi, I have purchased a flat in a residential apartment in Bangalore. This comes under jurisdiction of BMRDA (Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority - http://www.bmrda.kar.nic.in/) I have been given a covered car parking whose width is not sufficient. I want to know, whether is there any law/rule as per BMRDA guidelines about minimum parking dimensions. If there is, can I legally bind the builder to provide ample parking space? Thanks so much in advance,
First answer received in 10 minutes.
Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
There is no specific measurements for providing parking space.
However the measurement must be enough to accommodate a standard size car.
So if you can't park your car then you can ask for suitable parking space in default of which you can file case before the consumer forum seeking compensation or refund of your money.
Good luck.

As pe Zoning regulations RMP 2015, the specification for parking space shall be :
) Parking provision on multi level or on any number of floors:
i) Access Ramps, elevators, escalators to the upper floors or terrace floor shall not be
provided in the setback area and ramps to be within the plinth area of the building
and shall be exempt from FAR calculation.
ii) Car Parking shall not be provided in the setback areas. If provided, a minimum of 3.0
m shall be left free from the building in case of G+3 buildings and a minimum of 6.0
m in case of buildings which are G+4 or more.
iii) When Multi Level Car Parking (MLCP) is proposed on a plot as independent
activity, there shall not be any limitation for FAR or height of building subject to
condition that they satisfy fire and airport authority restrictions where ever
applicable.
If the parking space provided to you do not meet the specification as laid down in the regulations or rules for this purpose you may take up the matter with builder and ask him to sort it out as per the provisions of law governing this subject, if he is not cooperating or refusing to do, the you may look for legal options against the builder.
The rules of BMRDA can be thrown light on only by a Bangalore based lawyer, but if the measurement of car parking is what the builder promised in his agreement then the sufficiency or lack of it does not give rise to an actionable claim.
