Ozone KNS Oasis

Ozone KNS Oasis is listed under Sarjapur Road, on the south-east side of Bengaluru. The developer has not published a full address, a survey number or a pincode, and no distances to offices, schools or hospitals have been shared. Ask for the exact location pin before your visit, and we do not quote any distances here.

For a plot buyer, the location question is really two questions. The first is how the area works today: the approach road, public transport, and where the nearest shops and schools are. The second is how it will work in the years you plan to build and live there. Drive to the plot at the time you would go to work and note how long the trip takes.

Walk the land itself. Look at the road that leads to the gate, its width and surface, and whether it floods after heavy rain. Ask if any road widening or public works are planned near the site. Visit the village or town office to see what zoning applies to the surrounding land, since what is built next door will shape the value of your plot.

Ozone KNS Oasis shows BBMP/BDA as its approval, but no approval order number has been published. No RERA number has been published either. Ask Ozone Group for both, and look up the project on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in), which lists registered layouts and their declared completion dates.

For a plot, the paperwork is where the real risk lies. Before you pay more than a refundable token, ask for:

• The land conversion order for residential use
• The approved layout plan with the approval order number
• The release order covering the plot you are buying
• Title deeds and an encumbrance certificate for the land
• The RERA registration certificate
• A draft sale agreement stating the release and handover dates

Have a property lawyer read these and match your plot number against the approved layout. At registration, take the sale deed in your name, then apply for the khata. Get a fresh encumbrance certificate after registration to confirm the sale is on record.

Ozone KNS Oasis spreads over 45 acres. Ozone Group has not published the number of plots, the width of the internal roads or the share of land kept as parks and civic areas. Ask for the approved layout plan, which will show all of these, and compare it with any drawing you are shown at the sales office. Pictures of finished streets are renders as planned by the developer.

No amenity list has been shared either. In a plotted layout, what shapes daily life is less about a clubhouse and more about the basics. Ask whether the internal roads will be tarred, whether there will be underground drains, streetlights and a water supply line to each plot, and who will maintain them.

Also ask about security at the gate, compound walls, and whether a residents' association will run the layout once the developer hands it over. If any shared facilities are promised later, such as a park or a play area, get them in writing with a date. Until those answers are in hand, picture living here as a quiet layout of plots and streets rather than a full community.

Ozone KNS Oasis sells plots, so you buy land and design your own home on it. The developer lists plots from Rs. 30 Lakhs and gives a land rate of about Rs. 2,090 per sq ft. Plot sizes, dimensions and facings have not been published, so the entry figure tells you little until you see the plot schedule.

Once you have it, check how price changes with size, corner position, road width and park facing. East- and north-facing plots are often priced higher, so ask for any premium to be shown separately.

Land does not attract GST, though development charges billed separately may. Stamp duty and registration are payable on the sale deed. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• Rate per sq ft and the exact plot area
• Corner, facing and park premiums
• Development or infrastructure charges
• Any GST on those charges
• Water, power and drainage connection fees
• Maintenance deposit for the layout
• Stamp duty and registration
