Karnataka issues draft notification increasing stilt parking height to 4.5 metres
The additional height will not be calculated for the height of the building for the purpose of property tax and other regulations.
The notification makes corresponding amendments to the Revised Master Plan - 2015 to apply the rule prospectively.
Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) had announced the relaxation of stilt height in this year's civic budget presented in March earlier this year.
The new rule will mainly be adopted in apartment complexes.
'Nowadays, many households have multiple cars. Presently, we are providing only one parking spot per flat. With this rule, we can provide two parking spots by implementing multilevel car parking,' said Suresh Hari, Secretary, Confederation of Real Estate Associations of India (CREDAI), Karnataka.
