# Bengaluru may charge residents Rs 25,000 yearly for on-street parking 2026-08-14T04:49:27+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Bengaluru residents may have to pay an annual residential parking fee of up to Rs 25,000 to park on public roads outside their homes, depending on vehicle type, under the draft GBA (Parking) Rules, 2026. The draft proposes Rs 15,000 for hatchbacks, Rs 20,000 for sedans, and Rs 25,000 for sports utility vehicles. The permit will be issued only to residents of buildings that meet minimum on-site parking requirements under building bye-laws. Homes without adequate parking may not qualify. Parking without a valid permit would be treated as illegal and attract penalties. The Karnataka government has invited objections and suggestions on the draft. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - deccanchronicle.com Tags: Bengaluru, GBA Rules 2026, parking fees, pedestrian rights, residential parking permit, traffic congestion Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bengaluru-may-charge-up-to-rs-25000-for-annual-road-parking/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
