Bengaluru apartment dwellers find little relief in one-time Occupancy Certificate waiver, A Khata drive (opens original article in a new tab)

Bengaluru apartment dwellers face continued challenges despite a one-time Occupancy Certificate waiver and A Khata drive, as schemes lack clarity and exclude many residents.

• Apartment dwellers with B Khata properties are not benefiting from OC exemptions or A Khata conversions.
• The OC waiver applies only to plot sizes under 2,400 sq. ft., excluding most apartments.
• B Khata properties remain unresolved, with no clear path for regularization.
• The Karnataka Apartment Bill 2025 remains pending, causing governance confusion.
