What is Building Plan Approval?

Building Plan Approval (also called Building Permit or Construction Permission) is a mandatory clearance from the local Municipal Corporation, Development Authority, or Gram Panchayat before beginning any construction, renovation, extension or demolition activity. It verifies that the proposed construction complies with local building bylaws, National Building Code (NBC 2016), setback rules, FAR (Floor Area Ratio), and zoning regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do minor renovations without building plan approval?+
Minor internal renovations (painting, flooring, fixtures) don't require approval. However, any structural change, floor addition, or extension requires fresh or amended building plan approval.
What is FAR and how does it affect my construction?+
Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is the ratio of total built-up area to the plot area. Most cities cap residential FAR at 1.5–2.0 and commercial at 2.5–4.0. Exceeding FAR is illegal.
How long is building plan approval valid?+
Building plan approvals are typically valid for 3–5 years. Construction must be completed within this period. Extensions can be applied for before expiry.
Is building plan approval required for pre-1960 constructions?+
Old constructions without approvals may qualify for regularization schemes under state governments. Our experts guide clients through building regularization processes.
What is an Occupancy Certificate and when is it required?+
An Occupancy Certificate (OC) is issued after construction is complete and verified as per the sanctioned plan. It is mandatory for obtaining electricity/water connections and for legal property transfer.
