Pointing out that C.A. site- seekers can obtain the application forms from the MUDA’s Spandana Counter by paying Rs. 1,000 as application fee, he said that only registered Co-operative Societies, educational institutions, Associations having a religious purpose, Government Departments and Trusts, covering 24 different priority sectors can apply for C.A. sites.

Continuing, Rajeev said that Government Departments, Kannada Medium Schools, SC/ST and Differently-abled Welfare Associations will be allotted sites with a 50 percent discount. 18 percent of the C.A. sites up for allotment will be reserved for SC organisations, 3 percent for ST organisations and 2 percent for disabled welfare organisations, he added.

Explaining the process of applying, Rajeev said that the site applicants will have to submit 2 separate Demand Drafts (DD) — one for Registration fee and the other for initial deposit — drawn in favour of MUDA Commissioner or make payment through RTGS/NEFT — IFSC: BARBOVJMUDA, Account No. 89260100004791, Bank of Baroda, MUDA Branch.

Maintaining that no C.A. site will be allotted to individuals, he said that eligible Associations and Organisations will be distributed sites on a 30-year lease basis and the allottees will have to pay instalments in 90 days of allotment. Also, the allottees are required to construct buildings within three years only for the purpose which they sought the C.A. sites and there is no provision for any sub-lease. Further, the applications                                                          received during the earlier notification will not be considered for a fresh sanction of C.A. site, he said.
