The BBMP has leased out the Government Lands to Clubs/Associations/Temples. BBMP can ask for 50% of the earnings to BBMP as the Rules and Regulations of the Lease Agrement is not to conduct income generated schemes on the Government Lease land.

Road side business in the morning timings: BBMP can collect fees for  the same

In Majestic/City Market and other busy areas on the road side and on the footpath there are so many people transacting business without paying fees to BBMP, and earning thousands of rupees.  Police and BBMP officials are taking bribe from them.
