GBA Suggests Raising Permissible Deviation Limit for Building Construction in Bengaluru from 5% to 15%

In a recent development, corporations are considering implementing a penalty system aimed at regularizing deviations within permissible limits related to land use. This penalty would be calculated as a percentage of the guidance value of the plot, suggesting a dual purpose of both compliance enforcement and potential revenue generation for the authorities.

This proposal comes amid ongoing discussions regarding land regulation and management, as local governments strive to balance developmental needs with urban planning regulations. It reflects an increasing trend in which municipalities are looking for innovative ways to enhance revenue streams while ensuring compliance with zoning laws. The specifics of how the penalty will be structured, including the percentage rates and the criteria for deviation, are expected to be outlined in forthcoming regulatory updates. Stakeholders, including property owners and developers, are being encouraged to participate in consultations as the policy is finalized.
