Illegal Floors in Apartment Buildings in Bangalore — your questions

How do I know if my floor is within the building's sanctioned plan?+
Compare the BBMP-approved building plan against the building's actual floor count — if your floor exceeds what's sanctioned, it may be an unauthorised addition.
What are the risks of buying a unit on an illegal floor?+
Risks include potential demolition orders, difficulty securing a home loan, and complications during future resale, since buyers and banks scrutinise known deviations.
How does Relgrow verify a project before listing it?+
Every project shown for floor-verified listings is checked against the Karnataka RERA portal, along with khata type and sanctioned building plan, before it's added to any shortlist.
