Sure! Here’s a rewritten version of the content:
The Karnataka Cabinet has announced that buildings on plots exceeding 1,200 sq ft within Bengaluru’s jurisdiction will no longer require an Occupancy Certificate (OC).
This decision follows a Supreme Court ruling that mandated OCs for power connections, impacting more than 330,000 completed structures in the state that were left without electricity due to the absence of approved plans and OCs. With numerous applications still pending in Bengaluru, the Cabinet aims to offer a one-time relief by drafting a special law to facilitate electricity connections for these buildings.
However, the Advocate General noted that not all large buildings are eligible for this exemption; the government retains the authority to grant relief selectively post-verification. Future violations of these regulations will incur penalties, and new legislation will be introduced to safeguard against such discrepancies. This exemption builds on a previous Cabinet directive allowing OC waivers for properties up to 1,200 sq ft, which has now been expanded to include larger residential structures as well.
Feel free to let me know if you need any more adjustments or further assistance!
