In a first, K-RERA orders BDA to pay ₹56.03 lakh compensation to NPKL site owner over delay in providing basic amenities

In a first, the Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority (K-RERA) has directed the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) to pay interest compensation for delays in providing basic amenities to a site owner in Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout. The K-RERA has ordered the BDA to pay the complainant, Mridula Krishnapur, a compensation of ₹56.03 lakh for the period between June 10, 2020, and February 2, 2026.

The order came in response to a complaint filed by a site allottee, who had purchased a plot in Sector-B of the layout and received possession in June 2020. However, despite executing the sale deed and handing over possession, the BDA failed to provide essential infrastructure such as water supply, sewage systems, electricity, roads, street lighting and parks, rendering the site unfit for construction, according to the order.
