The permits and procedures generally required for
construction of a project are given below. However, these
may vary for Municipal Authorities across India.
Permit Procedure
Obtain construction drawing plan
approval
Drawing plan approval covers plumbing, electrical, sanitation, foundation, structural,
sewerage, well drilling, and infrastructure (such as way outs, lifts, set backs, etc.) drawings;
and Intimation of Disapproval (IOD) charges. The Municipal Corporation of the area
examines the master plan without visiting the construction site.
Obtain approval of construction
from the Area Development
Authorities
The Area Development Authorities are a division in the Municipal Corporation. The builder
files the application for approval with the Area Development Authorities separately and files
the approval with the Municipal Corporation in order to obtain a building permit.
Notify the Municipal Corporation
of the construction foundation
Before construction can begin, a formal permit/approval must be obtained from the
appropriate authority (Municipal Corporation). After the approval is obtained and the plinth
(foundation) is constructed, the plinth is inspected as a part of the procedural inspection
conducted by the authorized Engineer of the Municipal Corporation for Building and Planning.
Within a week after the foundation is completed, the Municipal Corporation sends an
authorized engineer for the inspection of the foundation. If the engineer finds no problems,
the inspection would not take more than a day. Construction can begin only after a formal
approval of the construction plan by the Municipal Authorities. Hence, the authorities are
aware of the developments of the construction. Normally, the developer notifies the
appropriate authorities about the inspections, but in practice, the engineers make the
inspections even when the developer has not contacted them.
Receive an on-site inspection by
the Chief Engineer of the
Municipal Corporation
The construction is approved only after inspections by the authorities verify compliance with
construction regulations (the area where the construction is going to take place is deemed
hazard free).
Receive an inspection by the
assigned Sub Engineer of the
Municipal Corporation
The Sub Engineer of the building proposal inspects the site at least once every 3 months; the
Assistant Engineer (Building and Planning) inspects the site once every 6 months, and the
Executive Engineer (Building and Planning) once a year. Each official notes observations in
writing in the inspection report. The Deputy Chief Engineer (Building and Planning) inspects
and approves all the proposals of layout, subdivision, and amalgamation of plots of land
greater than 2 hectares.
Receive an on-site inspection
midway through construction by
the assigned Sub Engineer of the
Municipal Corporation Authorized inspectors from the Municipal Corporation are responsible for all inspections.
Receive an inspection midway
through construction by the Fire
Department
The inspection by the Fire Department or by the Municipal Corporation is generally
conducted in two or three stages (depending on current regulations).
Apply for an occupancy permit at
the Municipal Corporation
After receiving the building completion certificate from the architect, the planning department
inspects the site and submits the compliance report to the Deputy Chief Engineer of Building
and Planning. After this is done, the occupancy permit and a letter stating that the IOD
conditions are in accordance with the regulations are issued. The application for the
occupancy permit should include the earthquake resistance certificate, which is issued by
one of Build Co's employees.
