Karnataka Government Launches 'Bhu Guarantee' Scheme to Regularise Bengaluru Properties

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar announced the 'Bhu Guarantee' or 'Land Guarantee' scheme to regularise 23 lakh properties in Bengaluru, aiming to provide transparent property records and title deeds directly to citizens. The initiative includes reducing the conversion cost from B khata to A khata from 5% to 2% for a limited 100-day period, halving regularisation fees for pre-2008 BDA properties, notifying setback relaxations, and distributing 18,000 sites to land losers. A mass sapling plantation drive is also planned.
