KHB Layout at suryanagar 2nd stage

[chandramouli]

karnataka housing board has announced formation of their 2nd layout suryanagar 2nd stage at electronic city area. their 1st layout in the same area was formed sometime back. how good is the 1st layout. was it fully soldout. i believe there was quite some delay in selling their apartments in the 1st stage though i dont know about the sites and houses. the rate quoted is 600/sft for 60x40 sites. is it worth applying. will first time applicants have any chance of getting allocation. any relevant info would be very much appreciated.

Hi,

I don't know when these sites will be alloted. Recently I tried to get a application to apply 30*50 site and I came to know that the applications are not available in Sanjay nagar nor in BWSSB nor in Jayanagar branches of Axis bank. It seems there is a high demand and the govt will lock lakhs of rupees from each person for a longer periods and over that our registration fees etc will be gone. I don't know why govt has requested for so high amount as initial deposit. Over that today again the advertisement has been posted in english news papers so that govt can get high number of applications and highest amount.

Guys, Moreover how genuine is the allotment process. Is this again politically driven. Any idea on this? or its just to get money from public.

Recently there was an advertisement from Bellary Urban Development Authority as well which is called for only 55 numbers of sites. This is rediculus as Govt organizations are taking more money for site allotment and finally most of the public will come out with dissapointment for not getting the sites.

Sreenivas.

hi srinivas

the current advertisement is just a call for expression of interest. Based on the number of application, they work out for the amount of land to be requried and then they initate the notification for land acquisition. In between there may be litigations or stay orders for challengers and then layout plan, exectuion and gol mal in allotment.

So no body knows the approximate time frame for the above procedure. Moreover this time application and initial deposit rates are drastically changes. It helps the Government to make use of public's interest free money for their use.

In my opinion, its better to skip this and better to look for alternative options.

hi msn/srinivas,

i find from the khb website reg eligibility of applicants, they have stipulated that the applicant must be resident in bangalore for a continuous period of 10 years immediately prior to the date of application. earlier it used to be 15 years continuous stay anytime prior to the date of application. with the current stipulation even locals who are on deputation abroad for a period of 2/3 years as is common these days will not be eligible to apply. is my understanding correct. since when this change has been introduced.
thanks for your earlier response.
regards

Hi msn.

karnataka housing board already aquired land required for suryanagar phase -2, 3 years back. in final notification which was published in vijaya karnataka around 3 years back, 790 acres --total extent excluding kharab. now they will develop in 300 acres and remaining in next phase

for the first phase 4 lakh plus people applied. ( first phase catered to 1700 sites(all dimensions) and 2200 houses(row houses, lig,mig,hig, group housing etc..))

so karnataka housing board is sitting with land and amount too. the quality of construction in suryanagar phase -1 was far better than any of their khb quarters. in an indirect way, they are responsible for raising rates. 6 months-1 year back , one can get BMRDA approved site in Rs500--Rs750 / sft in an decent layout. but if KHB starts collecting at Rs 1000/sft(hig-2) and Rs 550 /sft (lig). private developers will start quoting once again double-triple the government rate.


soon we will see colorful ads in TOI as next to suryanagar phase2

Guys,

I don't think its even worth to discuss on this but still I want to share my experience with KHB. I had applied for surya nagar phase1 project last time & I didn't buy any other property hoping to hear from KHB. It took me so long time to know the allotments & even after than I was disappointed to know I didn't get anything. One of my friend didn't even know about the application & I was surprised to know that they had got the site allotted. I was curious to know how then I heard so much about the politics inside the KHB. Someone whom they knew were working for KHB so they applied thro' that guy even after the dead line was over & was successful to get the allotment with some bribe of 1.8 lakh. After this incident I was so disappointed & then few months later I heard one more incident. Through some minister influence one more friend of mine got the site allotted in the same layout. He says I didn't have to pay much bribe since I had influence.

So Its all blady politics ............. & they r getting peoples money stocked for some months to showoff that they are doing some genuine allotment. Does anyone know how the process of allotment is done? no nothing is transparent to public. They don't even say based on what they do this allotment. All Govt r same, but I personally feel for some extent BDA procedures are lot better than this KHB process.

Dear Ravi

As per your own statement, in the first phase, approximately 4000 applicants got the allotment of sites and houses. So there are 3,96000 applicants are still in the list. In the propsed 300 acres for II Phase, maximum they can do another 3000(both Sites and Houses). Atleast BDA announces in advance how many sites they're going to do(Say 20000 sites planned for Arkavathi and finally brought down to 9000, 1000 sites, 14200 sites in SMV layout, 10800 sites in BSK, 9900 sites in HSR...etc)

But KHB is not at all mentioning their targetted sites/houses and already 3.9 lakhs members in seniority list. inspite of applying all legal criterias, there will be eligible applicants of another 25000 members in backlog. So Justify is there a need for calling one more round of applications and collecting huge funds from another 4-5 lakh members.

Better go through the background of Great G.T DeveGowda(head of KHB). then you might understand the reality behind this phase II.

Hi MSN,

when KHB first started SURYANAGAR, they ambitiously declared that they will come up with 20,000 sites and 20,000 houses(all forms like apartments, row houses, villas etc).

In phase-1, they catered to few and once they got 4 lakh plus applicants(newspaper reports), even they were taken by surprise with the demand. they alloted for first phase and with remaining applicants, i dont know whether they gave back their amount or not.

first of all, am not a representative of KHB to justify why they call for expression of interest and am like you. even am sceptical with their allotment procedures. its their discretion.

all heads of department lke KHB, KPTCL, etc will come up with these schemes to realise their reality that u mentioned.

HI Banglorian,

KHB allotment was done in town hall few years back by dip(lottery) basis. in allotment as with any govt body, they segregate a section of allotment to SC, ST, BC,SPORTS QUOTA, ETC and remaining to general public. that general public allotment was done in town hall few years back. they will even auction the odd sites, it happened few months back in cauvery bhavan.

Ravi,

I am not surprised even if there is some trick while taking lottery. Who knows if someone who has bribed them & some influenced person - only those applications might be in the lottery list & others may be in junk.

I have lost hope & stopped applying for it. may be if we bribe someone inside KHB we might get things done which I am not going to do it.
If u bribe then they will even explain to us every details of how we can get our allotment done. Even if there is a lottery(dip) miracle is we will be one among the lucky winner.
