Site sizes and price examples
The transcript identifies these common size bands:

| 40x60 | 2,400 sq ft | Around ₹31.2 lakh at ₹1,300 per sq ft |
For EWS sites, the notification shows a lower board rate of ₹650 per sq ft. Final payable amounts, taxes, service charges, and allotment-specific calculations should be checked on the application portal and official KHB documents.
Location and connectivity
The Hiremalligawad KHB Layout is positioned near IIT Dharwad. Based on the transcript, the location is approximately:
| Landmark | Approximate distance |
|---|---|
| Jubilee Circle / main bus stand | 9 km |
| New bus stand | 6.5 km |
| Agricultural University | 3.8 km |
| Bypass | 1.2 km |
| IIT Dharwad | Nearby |
The area is outside the densest part of Dharwad city, so applicants should evaluate it as a plotted-layout opportunity with a longer-term view. It may suit buyers who understand Dharwad, want a government-board site, and are comfortable with the location around IIT Dharwad and the bypass.
Who should apply
This application is most relevant if you are looking for a KHB residential site in or around Dharwad, can complete the online form carefully, and are comfortable with a lottery/allotment process where exact site choice is not guaranteed.
Buyer caution: Be cautious if you need a specific facing, exact road, corner site, or immediate city-center convenience. These are remaining vacant and stray sites after earlier allotments, so applicants should expect practical compromises in plot position, facing, or shape.
Documents and details required
Keep these details ready before starting the online application:
| Applicant identity | Applicant name, father/husband/wife name, gender, date of birth |
|---|---|
| ID details | PAN and Aadhaar |
| Eligibility details | Annual income, years residing in Karnataka, religion, reservation category |
| Address | House or village, layout/taluk, postal area, landmark, district, PIN code |
| Contact | Mobile number and email |
| Bank details | Bank name, branch, IFSC code, account number |
| Uploads | Applicant photo, non-allotment affidavit, passbook front page |
| Nominee | Nominee name, relationship, bank, branch, IFSC, account number |
The bank details matter because KHB states that refunds will be processed to the account furnished in the application. Wrong bank details can delay refunds.
Affidavit for non-allotment
The KHB ePay form asks applicants to upload an Affidavit for Non-Allotment. The expected process is:
- Download the affidavit format from the KHB ePay application form.
- Print the format.
- Fill the blanks with applicant details, project/category details, address, rent details where applicable, notification number, place, and date.
- Sign it.
- Upload the completed affidavit in the
Bank & Documentsstep.
The affidavit format declares that the applicant accepts the notification terms, has been staying in Karnataka for 10 years, and that neither the applicant nor the applicant's spouse/minor children own or possess a site, house, or flat in an urban area or municipality of Karnataka. It also states that no house or site has been allotted to the applicant or spouse by KHB or another Karnataka authority, and that incorrect statements can lead to rejection or cancellation.
Affidavit image placeholder: add the official affidavit image here later. Use the exact format downloaded from the KHB ePay portal rather than recreating the text manually.

Important cautions before applying
No exact plot choice: You cannot choose the exact site, facing, or plot position during application. Sites may include west-facing, south-facing, irregular, or otherwise less preferred plots because this notification is for remaining vacant and stray sites after earlier allotments.
If you already received a previous KHB allotment, applying again may lead to rejection based on KHB checks and affidavit declarations.
No email or SMS update should be assumed. Track application updates, lottery status, and next steps on the KHB website or KHB ePay portal.

Bottom line
The Hiremalligawad KHB Layout notification is a structured opportunity for applicants looking for a KHB site near IIT Dharwad. The main decision is not just price. Applicants should also be comfortable with the location, the online process, the affidavit declarations, the lottery/allotment uncertainty, and the fact that these are remaining sites rather than a fresh layout launch.
For serious applicants, the best next step is to open the KHB ePay form, confirm the current project details, prepare the documents, and submit before 28-04-2026.
