BMRDA project and layout approvals

Projects on unapproved layouts are not unheard of. Instances of developer firms coming up with properties, without obtaining the required permissions, have been very common and as a home buyer, this is something to be cautious about. The project you are investing in must receive the necessary approvals from the concerned authorities and this is possible, only if all the legal requirements are fulfilled as mentioned in the Land Revenue Act, the Land Reforms Act, The Town and Country Planning Act and the BMRDA Act. If you invest in an unapproved layout, chances are these would lack basic amenities and would not abide by the rules of town planning. Additionally, you may be unable to sell it in future too.
