Hi, I am trying to understand the risks associated in buying a property in Bangalore. The property is a 30+ year old gated community during which BIAPPA was non existent hence approval from BIAPPA is missing. The property has DC conversion approval, required Gram panchayat approvals & its a E-Khata property. The titles are clear and the ownership of the site is with the buyer from 30 years. I wanted to know if someone decides to buy such property what are the risks involved? i.e. 1. Can the property be considered illegal by the Govt and demolished? OR 2. Required approval will have to be taken in future by paying betterment charges? 3. Will the purchaser be able to get a sanctioned plan for modifying the constructed building? 4. Will such property be considered B Khata though the statutory body was not existing at the time the layout and plan was sanctioned? Looking for your guidance and clarification.
First answer received in 30 minutes.
Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
it would not be demolished as it has DC conversion approval , plans are sanctioned by gram panchayat 30 years back
2)for carrying out further construction you will need to get plans approved by local authorities
3) consult a local lawyer before you purchase the property
1. Since it's a residentially converted place, and if the title to the property is clear without ambiguity, then the property can't be considered as illegal and the Government will not demolish it. However , the correct opinion can be given subject to verification of documents.
2. The betterment charges may have to be paid in future.
3. To get ratification of the modified constructed building, please obtain necessary plan sanction from the BIAPPA.
4. Since the layout is carved on the duly residentially converted piece of land, such a site qualifies for 'A' Khatha.
5. However the above should not be construed as legal opinion, since I haven't seen the documents.
1. If the vendor is having a registered sale deed on his name, then there is no issue of demolition.
2. Betterment charges are charged only from revenue sites and not for registered sale deeds.
3. Any construction to be undertaken is required to be sanctioned by the authorities concerned.
4. If this layout was approved at that time when the necessity of consent from BIAPPA was not existing, then yo do not have to worry about it at this stage
1 no
2 yes certainly
3 yes
4. yes
Dear cleint,
Even with DC conversion and Gram Panchayat clearances, purchasing real estate in Bangalore without BIAPPA approval carries some risk.
Hope this helps you.
