Terms
Terms of use
Last updated 5 November 2026
In short
- Report real garbage, with a photo you took at the spot.
- Your reports are public, and we may moderate or remove them.
- NammaKasa is free and provided as it is. We're not part of the government.
About these terms
NammaKasa (nammakasa.in) is run by Jyothish VM, a sole proprietor (GSTIN 32BDLPV7187E1Z3), Bengaluru, Karnataka (“we”). By using NammaKasa you agree to these terms and to our privacy note.
What NammaKasa is, and isn't
NammaKasa is an independent public map of garbage spots in Bengaluru, linked to the officials responsible. It is not run by, or an official channel of, the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA), its corporations or any government body. Reporting here is not the same as filing an official complaint. For that, use the government's own channels, such as the 1533 helpline.
Officials' names and contact details are taken from public government sources and may be out of date.
Using NammaKasa
When you report a spot, verify a cleanup or confirm a report, you agree to:
- Report only real garbage or civic problems you have seen, at the place shown.
- Use photos you took yourself, at the spot, at the time. No edited, old or downloaded images.
- Not include people's faces, number plates, private property or anyone's personal details where you can avoid it.
- Not post anything abusive, threatening, defamatory or obscene, or party-political campaigning, and not use NammaKasa to harass or target anyone.
- Not spam, automate submissions, or try to get around limits or moderation.
Your reports
You keep any rights you have in your photos. By submitting a report, you allow us to show, store, share and publish it (including the photo, location and details) on NammaKasa, on our social media, in data downloads, and with journalists, researchers and government bodies, for free and without a time limit. You confirm you have the right to share what you submit.
Moderation
We check reports automatically and by hand. We may hide, blur, edit, merge or remove any report, mark it resolved or not garbage, and limit or block devices that misuse NammaKasa, at our discretion and without notice.
Data and accuracy
Reports come from the public. We try to keep the map accurate, but we don't guarantee that any report, location, status, statistic or official's details are correct or current. Don't rely on NammaKasa for emergencies; call 112.
Supporting NammaKasa
“Support the cause” is voluntary support for running NammaKasa. It is not a purchase and doesn't get you any service, priority or influence over reports or moderation. It isn't a donation to a charity and isn't tax-deductible. Payments are received by Jyothish VM (sole proprietor, GSTIN 32BDLPV7187E1Z3). Online payments are processed by Cashfree Payments, and card payments from outside India by Buy Me a Coffee. See our refund and cancellation policy.
Our name and design
The NammaKasa name, logo, design and software belong to Jyothish VM. You may link to and share NammaKasa pages and report links freely. Ask us before using our name or logo in other ways.
No warranty and limited liability
NammaKasa is provided “as is”, free of charge, and may change, pause or stop at any time. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any loss arising from using NammaKasa or relying on its content.
Changes and law
We may update these terms; the date at the top will change. These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts in Bengaluru have jurisdiction.
