The Bengaluru municipal administration plans to digitise its Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) system, a move expected to streamline land acquisition processes for property owners.
The city of Bengaluru is set to overhaul its Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) system by moving it to a digital platform. The initiative, announced by the municipal authorities, seeks to reduce paperwork and speed up approvals for land acquisition projects.
Under the new system, property owners will be able to submit TDR applications online, track their status in real time, and receive electronic notifications. The digitisation is expected to cut processing times and minimise the need for physical visits to municipal offices.
Officials say the change will also improve transparency, allowing stakeholders to monitor the allocation of development rights more effectively. The move is part of Bengaluru’s broader push to adopt smart city solutions across various civic services.
