Why it matters
This policy provides a one-time regulatory relief for homeowners to formalize utility access, impacting urban housing compliance in Bangalore.

The exemption applies to buildings with a ground floor plus three floors or stilt parking plus four floors, constructed on sites measuring up to 2,400 sq. ft. (with an allowable deviation of up to 20%) within Bescom’s jurisdiction. It is applicable only to buildings completed on or before May 31, 2026.
