What is the cost of contesting ?
For LS – Rs 10k .. for RS – RS 5k and for BBMP – Rs 3000 . This is the deposit you will have to keep . If you loose deposit wont be returned .

What only RS 3000 ??
Yes , this does not include your campaigning cost . Generally a decent campaign can be fought with Rs 10k .. in a ward . With educated population in Bangalore , it doesnt cost much for campaigning if you choose right wards .
