Hi ,
As per my inquiry since this land falls under BDA jurisdiction,
Panchayat is not a competent authority
to approve.
Some points and my assumptions I would like to highlight based on my
digging, plz feel free
to correct me or get it verified by some other sources.
1> Its compulsory to allocate space for gardens roads etc for BDA
approval, (almost 40% of the land goes for such purpose)
but i see hardly any space left for such purpose in the layout.
Its very easy to get the approval from Panchayat by bribing. So
likely chances why builder has not gone for BDA approval.
2> In the document for non agricultural conversion of the land its
clearly mentioned if the layout is not approved by
BDA/BMRDA/BMICAPI, then the layout can be termed as illegal and
demolished.
3> In the same document its also mentioned that Deputy commissioner
office (issuing authority) is not responsible if the proposed land is
already under aquiry
proceedings by government. So this statement is very scary and
can be dangerous unless we have a BDA approval
4> This land is approved for non agricultural purposes on 6-6-2011 and
layout is approved by Panchayat on 24-6-2011.
(Atleast The documents are dated so)
If am right builder claims that some 8 to 10 sites have been
already sold. Even though not impossible but this makes me bit
suspicious.
IMHO we need to exercise lot of caution before proceeding and get the
BDA approval even for extra cost.
