BBMP Setback Rules for 30×50 Plots

ParameterRuleNotes
Front Setback3.0 metres (10 ft)From boundary to wall — includes the front verandah
Rear Setback1.5 metres (5 ft)Required for plots above 600 sq ft
Side Setback (each)1.0 metre (3.3 ft)On each side unless party wall agreement exists
Maximum FloorsG+2On roads 20–40 ft wide; G+3 on 40 ft+ roads (some localities)
FAR (Floor Area Ratio)2.25Max permissible built-up = 3,375 sq ft, but floor count limits apply
Parking1 ECS mandatoryEquivalent Car Space — covered or open
Corner Plot2.0 m corner-side setbackReplaces 1.0 m side setback on the corner side

Buildable area calculation: 30 ft (width) – 0 (no party-wall setback if semi-detached) = 30 ft usable width. 50 ft (depth) – 10 ft (front) – 5 ft (rear) = 35 ft usable depth. Footprint = 30 × 35 = 1,050 sq ft. But most 30×50 plots in BDA layouts have 1-metre side setbacks on at least one side, reducing this to approximately 780–820 sq ft per floor.
