5. Why is this meeting important?
● Close to 5 decades, further to KAOA 1972 there has been no clear law for apartments
in Karnataka. KAOA was for a very different housing ecosystem. While it addresses
apartment ownership to a limited extent , it is silent on enforcement, governance,
dispute resolution, redevelopment, sustainability, and accountability of all
stakeholders.
● KAOMA 2025 is expected to bring clarity, structure, and legal backing for apartment
ownership and governance across Karnataka.
● Maharashtra , Tamilnadu and Odisha have modern laws that address and protect
apartment ownership and management.

6. What is the key outcome and expectation from the meeting ?
● In February 2024, the Government had assured on the floor of the Karnataka State
assembly that a comprehensive law for apartments would be introduced.
● In March 2025, the Government had assured on the floor of the Karnataka State
Assembly that the draft KAOMA bill is in its finalization stage.
● Now, the Government has finally taken a significant step by involving apartment
owners and key stakeholders in this discussion.
● To ensure a meaningful and broad-based outcome, it is important that the meeting
remains focused on addressing this long-pending demand of comprehensive law.
Sec on B : On the Bill
7. Do we have a copy of the draft bill ?
The bill is currently not in the public domain. It’s important to note that the form in which
it is introduced and the process it follows to become a law are entirely at the discretion of
the Legislature and the Government.
8. What are the contents of the bill OR I have a specific question of apartment
management and want to know if it is covered ?
It is essential to establish the Act first, after which the corresponding rules can be
formulated. Therefore, the primary focus should be on finalizing the key framework and
introducing the modern KAOMA 2025 Act. The detailed provisions can then be addressed
through the rules that follow.
9. Was BAF involved in discussion on the bill ?
BAF participated as one of the stakeholders during the departmental discussions.
It is for the Government to lead the process and determine how the inputs provided by BAF
will be incorporated.
