Protests over proposed annual parking fee for homes in Bengaluru

The government is considering withdrawing the proposed annual parking fee under the Greater Bengaluru Authority's Vehicle Parking Rules-2026 due to strong opposition from public representatives and citizens. The proposed draft policy suggests house owners must pay an annual fee ranging from Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 40,000, depending on the plot size. Opposition has raised objections, leading officials to review the rule of collecting fees from residents, with a possibility of dropping the specific clause in the final rules.
