General & Legal Compliance
What is a "DC Converted Plot," and why is it important?
DC Conversion (Deputy Commissioner Conversion) is the mandatory legal process of officially changing the land use from agricultural to non-agricultural (residential/commercial). Without this certificate, construction, bank loans, and plan approvals are illegal in Karnataka.
What is the difference between a Farm Plot and a Plotted Development?
A Farm Plot (like RDL Greens) is usually agricultural land, often managed for farming, primarily for investment/weekend retreat. A Plotted Development (like RDL Skandagiri) is DC-converted, has layout approvals (e.g., DTCP/BMRDA), and is specifically for building a home.
Who approves RDL Vista's plotted developments?
Our projects are approved by the relevant governmental planning authority based on the location's jurisdiction, such as the Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) or Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority (BMRDA).
What is an Encumbrance Certificate (EC), and why do I need it?
An EC is a certificate issued by the Sub-Registrar's office that confirms the property is free from any legal or financial liabilities (like mortgages or claims) for a specified period, typically 13 to 30 years.
Is it mandatory for RDL Vista projects to have RERA registration?
Yes. All projects that fall under the criteria of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) are RERA registered. This ensures maximum transparency, timely delivery, and compliance for the buyer.
What is an 'A Khata,' and is it provided for the plots?
The 'A Khata' certificate signifies that the property is legally compliant, has proper building approvals, and is eligible for property tax payment. Our fully approved residential plots have clear 'A Khata' documentation.
Investment & Returns
What kind of returns can I expect from a farm plot?
Returns come from two sources: Capital Appreciation (increase in land value over time) and Passive Income (revenue sharing from managed agricultural yield, if applicable). Farm plots near growing cities like Bangalore typically see robust long-term capital appreciation.
Why invest in plots outside the main city, like Chikkaballapur or Mysuru?
Locations like Chikkaballapur offer lower initial cost, proximity to key infrastructure (like the airport and expressways), faster price appreciation due to future growth corridors, and a serene, green environment.
Is agricultural income from the farm plots tax-free in India?
Yes, agricultural income generated from farming activities on the land is currently exempt from Income Tax in India under Section 10(1) of the Income Tax Act.
Can NRIs purchase plotted developments and farm plots in Karnataka?
Yes, Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) are generally allowed to purchase non-agricultural land (plotted developments) in India. They may purchase agricultural land as well, subject to recent amendments to the Karnataka Land Reforms Act.
Investment & Returns
Does RDL Vista assist with bank loans for plot purchases?
Yes. We have tie-ups and established relationships with major banks and NBFCs, and we provide all necessary legal documents to facilitate a smooth loan approval process for our approved layouts.
What are the key amenities provided in your plotted developments?
Our developments are planned to offer essential and lifestyle amenities, typically including tarred/asphalt roads, underground drainage, water connections, electricity supply, security fencing, and landscaped parks.
Can I construct a farmhouse or villa on an RDL Vista plot immediately?
If you purchase a plotted development (DC Converted, approved layout), you can start construction after obtaining your individual building plan approval from the relevant authority (e.g., Panchayat/Municipality).
How is the maintenance of the common areas and infrastructure managed?
Post-handover, the maintenance is typically overseen by a Homeowners' Association (or a dedicated maintenance service) for a defined period, ensuring the upkeep of roads, parks, and common utilities.
Are the plots Vastu-compliant?
Yes, our layouts, such as RDL Greens, are thoughtfully planned, and the plots are demarcated keeping Vastu principles in mind to promote harmony and positive energy flow.
Investment & Returns
What core documents will I receive upon purchasing a plot?
You will receive the registered Sale Deed (proof of ownership), the Encumbrance Certificate (EC), the Khata Certificate/Extract, and all relevant Layout and Approval Sanctions from the authority.
What is a "Mother Deed" or "Parent Document"?
The Mother Deed is the primary document that traces the property's origin and all subsequent ownership transfers. It is crucial for establishing a clear title history and is essential for legal due diligence.
Is there a timeline for starting construction after buying a plot?
While there are generally no strict deadlines from the developer, many banks and financial institutions may require you to begin construction within a stipulated period (e.g., 2–5 years) if you have taken a construction loan.
Are there any restrictions on the size/type of construction on the plot?
Yes. Construction must strictly adhere to the local Floor Area Ratio (FAR), set-back rules, and the building bylaws of the approving authority (e.g., Town Planning Department).
What are the extra costs involved besides the plot price?
Key additional costs include Stamp Duty and Registration Charges (paid to the government), GST (if applicable on the plot and amenities), legal fees, and the cost for the Khata Transfer into your name.
