Streamlining Bangalore's Real Estate: BBMP's New Initiative
To uphold Bangalore's esteemed reputation as India's premier IT Hub, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has unveiled a groundbreaking rule, poised to revolutionize the city's real estate landscape. This innovative measure is designed to facilitate builders seeking to repurpose properties for residential or office use, by migrating the plan approval process online.
Enhanced Efficiency for Builders
- Simplified Procedure: Builders will no longer need to navigate through cumbersome, time-consuming protocols to secure plan approvals.
- Direct Clarifications: The new system ensures that clarifications are readily available, eliminating the need for tedious, back-and-forth communications.
- Dedicated Approval Team: Newly appointed executive engineers will collaborate with zonal town planning officers to oversee the approval process, guaranteeing a more streamlined experience.
Alignment with the E-Khata System
This digital transformation is a natural extension of the recently announced E-Khata system, introduced in the BBMP's budget. This system empowers citizens to upload required documents and access their khatas online, symbolizing a significant leap towards administrative efficiency.
Leveraging Technology for Property Tax Collection
- Geographic Information System (GIS): In collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), BBMP will utilize GIS to enhance property tax collection, ensuring a more accurate and transparent process.
- Comprehensive Digital Survey: A meticulous digital survey of Bangalore's entire real estate spectrum, encompassing tech parks, malls, commercial establishments, and the residential market, will be conducted to guarantee precise property tax evaluation.
