Sakrama penalties slashed

Hi,

The Government has drastically cut the regularisation fee by 80 per cent for illegal sites with an area of up to 60 square metres (20 x 30 ft; there are about 50,000 such sites) and 60 per cent for sites with area 60 to 120 (30 x 40 ft; about 1.5 lakh sites) square metres.

With this cut, the regularisation fee has come down from Rs. 200 to Rs. 40 a square metre for sites up to 60 square metres and from Rs. 400 to Rs. 160 for sites with an area of 60 to 120 square metres in BBMP limits. The Master Plan 2015 will be made applicable for land use in Bangalore.

However there is no reduction of penalty for sites greater than 1200 square feet which is Rs 600/sq m.

Based on the final guideline likely to be available in April we should check for the violation percentage.
