Planning to build your home in Bengaluru? One of the most critical steps before you lay the foundation is getting your house plan approved by BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike). The good news? The process has become faster and more transparent — especially when you’re supported by experienced firms like Sribha Infra Build.

In this article, we’ll break down the step-by-step process for BBMP plan approval and show how Sribha Infra Build ensures a tension-free experience from start to finish.

Why BBMP Plan Approval Is Mandatory

Before starting construction on any residential or commercial property in Bangalore city limits, it’s legally required to obtain BBMP building plan approval. This ensures:

• The structure follows zoning and building bye-laws
• No encroachments on lake beds, drains, or road widening areas
• Safe and sustainable urban development

Here’s how they simplify your approval journey:

• In-house BBMP-licensed architects and engineers
• Compliance-first designs to avoid rejection
• Digital submission through BBMP’s Nambike Nakshe portal
• Liaisoning for NOCs (BWSSB, BESCOM, Fire, etc.)
• Follow-up & escalation support with BBMP town planning officials

Their team ensures zero delays, full compliance, and transparent communication, making the experience truly tension-free.

Step-by-Step Process for BBMP Building Plan Approval in 2025

Step 1: Confirm Site Eligibility

• Plot must be within BBMP limits
• Preferably 50×80 ft or smaller (eligible for fast-track approval)
• Zone must match intended use (residential, commercial, etc.)
• No legal disputes or encroachments

Sribha helps you verify zoning through RMP-2031 and digital GIS tools.

Step 2: Appoint an Empanelled Architect via Sribha

You cannot directly apply as an owner. Only BBMP-empanelled architects or engineers can submit plans.

Sribha Infra Build has registered professionals on their team who

• Inspect your plot
• Design a bylaw-compliant building plan
• Handle submission and all official correspondence

Step 3: Prepare and Submit Required Documents

Typical documents include:

• Sale deed / title deed
• Khata certificate & extract
• Latest tax paid receipt
• Survey sketch / site plan
• Building drawings (PDF + DXF)
• Owner ID and address proof

Sribha provides a checklist and collects everything needed, including drafting drawings and digitizing your documents.

Step 4: Upload the Plan via BBMP Online Portal

The architect logs into BBMP’s OBPAS (Online Building Plan Approval System) or Nambike Nakshe portal, uploads plans, and completes form submission.

The system uses auto-verification tools to flag any bylaw violations.

Step 5: Pay Plan Approval Fees

Fee structure includes:

• Plan scrutiny fees
• Betterment charges (if applicable)
• Development fees

All payments are made online and receipts generated immediately. Sribha calculates your fee slab, ensures accurate estimates, and makes the payments on your behalf if authorized.

Step 6: Get Instant Provisional Plan Sanction

Once the fee is paid and the plan passes checks:

• BBMP issues Provisional Sanction for eligible sites
• This allows you to begin basic site work

This step now takes less than 48 hours for most residential plots.

Step 7: Final BBMP Approval Within 15 Days

Your file is digitally reviewed by BBMP’s Assistant Director, Town Planning. If there are no violations or objections, your building plan is:

• Sanctioned within 15 working days, or
• Deemed approved if no action is taken

With Sribha Infra Build tracking your file, there are no delays, and any objections are quickly resolved.

Step 8: Begin Construction with Compliance Monitoring

During construction, BBMP now requires:

• Stage-wise affidavits at plinth, first floor, and roof levels
• Monthly inspections by ward engineers
• Adherence to approved setback and height rules

Sribha coordinates your affidavits, manages BBMP inspections, and ensures compliance till completion.

Step 9: Apply for Occupancy Certificate (OC)

After construction:

• Submit final photos, completion report, and all affidavits
• BBMP conducts a final inspection
• Occupancy Certificate is issued within 30 days

Only with an OC can you get permanent water/electricity connections.
