In Bengaluru, constructing a building is not just about bricks and mortar—it’s about following a strategic process of legal and technical approvals. If you're a property owner, builder, or investor, understanding the regulatory checkpoints is crucial to ensure a hassle-free handover and lawful occupancy.
Let’s break down the
3 essential stages
of building completion and compliance that every project must go through in Bengaluru: 🏗️
Stage 1: Obtain Occupancy Certificate (OC) from Town Planning Authority
An
Occupancy Certificate
is the green signal that your building is fit for habitation. To get this certificate, the
Town Planning Authority
requires: 📐
Approved Building Plan:
You must have an officially sanctioned plan from the competent town planning authority. 🚫
Zero Deviations from Approved Plan:
The building must be constructed exactly as per the approved layout. Any deviation, however small, can lead to rejection or legal action.
Without an OC, the building is technically not considered legal for occupation—even if the construction is complete. ⚡
Stage 2: Apply for BESCOM Power Connection
The
Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM)
has made it mandatory to submit an
Occupancy Certificate (OC)
before providing any new
power connection
to a building.
This means:
🔌 No OC = No BESCOM Power
🏠 Builders must complete all civil and compliance work before applying for electricity
It’s a step forward to prevent illegal constructions from availing utility services and reinforces structural safety and legality. 🧾
Stage 3: BBMP Digital E-Khata Application
After you’ve received the
BESCOM power connection, you can now apply for the
BBMP Digital E-Khata
—an essential document that officially recognizes your property in the municipal records for tax and ownership purposes.
BBMP now requires: ✅
Valid BESCOM Power Connection Number 📄
Proof of OC & Approved Plan
The
Digital E-Khata
is linked with your property tax account and will be reflected in BBMP’s online property records.
🔄 Summary Flowchart:
Town Planning Approval → OC
OC → BESCOM Power Connection
BESCOM Connection → BBMP Digital E-Khata
This seamless 3-stage chain ensures your property is legally compliant, utility-enabled, and municipally recognized.
