Bengaluru BDA Masterplan Roads: RMP 2015 Road Zones

Check your survey number instantly on the 1acre Bengaluru Masterplan Roads layer — it overlays BDA RMP 2015 road alignments directly against survey numbers. Check 1acre Premium. Verify independently at the BDA zonal office using your Planning District number and SSLRD survey sketch. BDA’s official planning documents are available at kbda.karnataka.gov.in.

The road-zoned portion is reserved for public purpose and cannot be built upon. If you voluntarily surrender the affected extent to BDA, you are entitled to a Development Rights Certificate (DRC) equal to 2 times the surrendered area under the current BDA TDR rules — an improvement from the original 1.5x rate under the earlier BBMP-era scheme. The DRC can be used to build additional area on the residual plot or sold to another developer.

Approval is issued only for the residual plot after road widening setback is deducted. FAR and coverage are calculated on the remaining area. If the residual plot falls below the minimum zone size, plan sanction will be refused.

Yes, both are affected. FAR is linked to approach road width, so a wider proposed road unlocks higher FAR. However, setbacks are measured from the post-widening road edge, which reduces the actual buildable footprint on your plot.

Transferable Development Rights (TDR) grant additional built-up area in lieu of land surrendered for road widening, issued as a Development Rights Certificate (DRC) at 2x land area plus 2x building area (per the September 2022 Karnataka notification under the KTCP Amendment Act 2021). When BBMP or BDA issues a widening notice, file the TDR application within the timeline specified in the notice; missing the window risks default to cash-only acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act provisions.

No plot within PRR/BBC Phase 1 notified survey numbers should be purchased without a legal opinion confirming whether the specific survey number has been acquired, released, or lapsed. The June 2007 notification covered 1,810 acres and was upheld by the Supreme Court (November 2021 direction to BDA to proceed); an additional ~750 acres was preliminary-notified in April 2020. The Karnataka High Court ruled in January 2024 that public-use reservations may lapse if not acquired within 5 years — adding a further check buyers must run on each survey number. As of early 2026, BDA is actively acquiring under a negotiated compensation framework citing rates up to ₹15.6 crore per acre in select villages, contested under the 2013 Land Acquisition Act (LARR) framework. The bulk of the 1,810 acres notified in 2007 (plus 750 acres preliminary-notified in April 2020) remains in dispute. An unacquired plot in a notified survey number cannot be built upon, sold freely, or mortgaged without legal risk.

BDA's compensation menu includes cash, plot allotment, TDR/DRC, or FAR adjustment. The 2007 award rates of ₹20–30 lakh per acre under the BDA Act framework are now contested — affected PRR landowners are seeking compensation under the 2013 Land Acquisition Act (LARR), which offers up to 3x market rate. BDA's negotiated framework cites rates up to ₹15.6 crore per acre in select villages (as of December 2025); landowners cite market values of ₹15–40 crore per acre in some corridors. The dispute remains unresolved.

PRR Phase 1 villages in East and North Bengaluru carry the highest risk. ITPL Main Road plots face active BBMP frontage widening. Along the Outer Ring Road belt, check individual survey numbers as cartographic errors in planning district maps have been documented.
