Karnataka Apartment Ownership Bill Sparks Debate

Karnataka's draft Apartment Ownership Bill 2025 has ignited debate over ownership rights, maintenance charges, and redevelopment rules. Chief Minister D K Shivakumar met apartment associations on July 15; public comments are invited until August 6. Experts warn of potential regulator overreach and promoter control over unsold flats, questioning the balance between regulation and ownership. The Bill seeks to modernize the 1972 Act but raises concerns about redevelopment approvals and association powers.
