The Legislative Assembly on Tuesday adopted the Karnataka Town and Country Planning (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which provides for availing of additional floor area ratio (FAR) by paying a rate not less than 40% of the guidance value. The Bill was passed without discussion amid dharna by the Opposition members.
Speaker U.T. Khader allowed the Bill to be taken up for consideration when the Opposition members were staging a dharna in the Well of the House demanding action against Ramanagara sub-inspector in connection with a lawyers’ protest there.
Piloting the Bill, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar explained that the maximum additional floor area ratio per premium floor area ratio that may be purchased for a permitted building under this section shall not exceed 60% of the normal permissible floor area ratio.
