What is BDA Approval?
BDA (Bangalore Development Authority) approval is an essential legal authorization required for constructing any building within areas that fall under BDA’s jurisdiction. This approval ensures that the construction project adheres to the city’s master plan, zoning regulations, and prescribed building by-laws. It is mandatory for property owners and developers who wish to undertake construction on plots situated in BDA-notified layouts.
The approval process involves thorough scrutiny of layout plans, site dimensions, building designs, and intended usage (residential, commercial, or mixed-use) to confirm compliance with urban planning guidelines. Only after receiving this clearance can you legally commence construction.
Building without BDA approval is considered unauthorized. Such unauthorized constructions are at significant risk of legal action, including heavy penalties, halting of construction work, or even demolition of the structure. Additionally, unauthorized properties may face difficulties in obtaining essential utilities like water and electricity, and may not be eligible for loans or resale.
Therefore, securing BDA approval is not just a legal necessity—it protects your investment, ensures the safety and legality of your property, and contributes to orderly urban development in Bangalore.
BDA Areas in Bangalore
BDA oversees the urban planning & development in Bangalore, which ensures that constructions are following the rules as per the city master plan and zoning regulations.
In Bangalore, the BBMP approves building plans within city limits, even in layouts approved by the BDA, while the BDA handles approvals for areas outside BBMP’s jurisdiction. Once the plan is approved, they issue a letter that allows construction as per the approved design. If a building is constructed without proper approval from BBMP or BDA, the authorities have the right to either demolish the building or impose a heavy penalty for violating the rules.
