Bengaluru South City Corporation Commissioner K.N. Ramesh on Friday clarified that the residents of Jayanagar, where a smart parking system is scheduled to be implemented, need not pay parking fees for parking vehicles in front of their homes.

The south corporation was the first among the corporations to propose a smart parking system. However, local residents and traders had been seeking clarity on parking on residential streets. This system is separate from the proposed Greater Bengaluru Parking (Rules), 2026, which plans annual residential parking charges ranging from ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 based on the type of the car.
