BDA regularisation fees cut by 50%; CM DK Shivakumar to review scheme

The state government has halved the fees for regularising houses built illegally on BDA-notified layouts, offering relief to property owners. Chief Minister DK Shivakumar is expected to review the scheme and launch an online application system at a meeting with senior BDA officials on Monday. Under the revised rates, the fee for sites up to 20x30 has been reduced from 10% to 5%, and for sites above 40x60 and up to 50x80, it has been halved from 50% to 25%.
