The real estate sector is rejoicing as real estate and construction projects in Delhi will now get government approvals within 30 days, said Earth Infrastructures Ltd, a leading real estate developer of Delhi NCR.
The approvals will happen through an integrated online single window approval process under the revised building bye-laws for the city. The new 2016 bye-laws also integrate environmental clearances with the building sanctioning process, reduce the number of documents for building permits and completion and occupancy certificates and provide for green buildings.
“The government has now eased the building approval process. There will be just one common single application form for online submission by the building applicants and single payment to the concerned urban local body electronically. Much to the relief of the industry, obtaining permission for commencement of construction has also been removed,” said Earth Infrastructures Ltd.
Buildings are now categorized based on risk - low risk with 105-500 sq mt built up area and very low risk god owns of up to 250 sq mt. Local bodies will be required to grant permits within 10 to 20 days.
Building with built up area between 20,000 and 150,000 sq mt will now be able to get environmental clearance from urban local bodies. Residential plots of size up to 105 sq mt are not required to obtain sanction of building plans.
There has also been a deduction in the number of documents to be submitted for obtaining building permits. They have been reduced from 40 to 14 and for obtaining completion-cum-occupancy certificate from 36 to 9.
The Unified Building Bye-laws for Delhi -2016 has mandated all buildings on plot sizes of more than 105 sq mt to conform to the mandatory green building norms. These will include water conservation and management, solar energy utilization, energy efficiency and management for obtaining sanctions. “The measures will help Delhi become greener, sustainable and eco-friendly,” added Earth Infrastructures Ltd.
Unified Building Bye-laws for Delhi was revised after 33 years. The previous byelaws, which were notified by Delhi Development Authority (DDA) in 1983, had been amended many times, with last amendments made in 2009. The new revised byelaws have been notified by DDA and will be applicable on the areas under DDA's jurisdiction.
