The Bangalore Mahanagara Palike in its preliminary discussion on how best to go about regularisation of building by violation of laws (zonal norms and setback violations) is learnt to be weighing the option of outsourcing the survey or permit self declaration by the violators like the SAS for property tax collection.

Sources noted that the BMP’s experience from the court-ordered survey of such violations in Koramangala - is that it is a time consuming exercise. That being so, the work is best outsourced if self-declaration is not allowed.

Sources noted that bill has not specified whether the 25 per cent regularisation it allows, in case of commercial structures and 50 per cent in case of residential structures, is the cumulative total of all the violations or is applicable individually in case of setback, building plan and zonal violations.


There can be no regularising each of them in isolation, it is best done as a cumulative whole, say a section of the engineers.

It is also noted, that no objection certificates from the neighbours may have to be made mandatory. The regularisations may not stand legal scrutiny otherwise, sources explained.
