What is ‘Nambike Nakshe’ Scheme?

September 3, 2024

Bengaluru’s Deputy Chief Minister, D.K. Shivakumar, has introduced a new scheme called ‘Nambike Nakshe’ to make the process of getting building approvals simpler and faster. This scheme is designed to help property owners get approval for buildings up to 4,000 square feet within the areas managed by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).

Scheme Overview

The ‘Nambike Nakshe’ scheme allows property owners to get temporary (provisional) approval for their building plans from authorized architects or engineers. This is a big change because it means that owners can start planning their buildings without having to go through many different approval steps right at the beginning.

Target Audience

The scheme is especially helpful for people who own land in areas developed by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) and the Karnataka Housing Board. Many of these plots are around 50×80 feet in size, which fits well within the limits of this scheme.

Provisional Approval Process

Under this new scheme, property owners can get provisional approval that lets them start construction. After receiving this provisional approval, they need to upload the plan online for final approval by the BBMP. This makes the whole process quicker and more straightforward.

The main goal of this initiative is to cut down on the bureaucratic obstacles that property owners usually face. By allowing direct approvals from qualified professionals like architects or engineers, the government is making it easier and faster for people to get their building plans approved.

Ensuring Compliance

Even though the approval process is being simplified, BBMP engineers will still inspect the construction to make sure that the buildings meet all the required standards and regulations.

The ‘Nambike Nakshe’ scheme is currently being tested in two zones within BBMP. If it works well, it will likely be expanded to cover the entire city. This could greatly reduce the challenges that property owners face, making it easier and more efficient for them to start construction projects.

About the Nambike Nakshe Scheme

The ‘Nambike Nakshe’ scheme was originally launched in 2020 in Karnataka. It was designed to digitize land records, making it easier for people to access information about their land. The scheme also helps resolve land disputes and supports better land management. By making land information available online, the initiative is helping to improve urban planning and rural development in the state.
