NEWDELHI: To simplify the process of obtaining a building sanction plan for a property, the South Delhi Municipal Corporation has come out with a colour-coded zonal map for the entire city, an SDMC official said.
The map, which is developed in collaboration with the Geo-spatial Delhi Limited, and under the ambit of ease of doing business, will be used by all three municipal corporations to ascertain the requirement of no-objection certificates (NOCS) online.
SDMC is the nodal agency for making the processing for building plans approval available online.
With the help of this map, a person can know the number agencies from whom they will need to obtain NOC before initiating construction work at a site.
SDMC has tied up with various government departments such as Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), National Monuments Authority, Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC), Delhi Jal Board, Delhi Fire Service, Chief Inspector of Factories, Heritage Conservation Committee and Airports Authority of India (AAI).
“The moment a person chooses or types their property’s address on the zonal map, a window will pop-up showing the number of agencies from which permission is required. Each agency has been given separate colours on the map to indicate their presence in the area. It will vary depending on the height and distance of their property from these agencies’ projects,” said an SDMC official.
“The development of a superimposed colour-coded zonal map will help in ascertaining the requirement and nature of NOCS required for a particular property in fraction of a minute. All that need to be done is to log in to the MCD website and access the building plan’s microsite,” said SDMC commissioner Puneet Goel.
The municipal bodies have provided a Common Application Form (CAF) on its website, which will help the applicant to get NOCS from most of the agencies.
“Since we have already tied up with various departments, the CAF will help the applicant in getting NOCS as well as building plan sanctioned in just 30 days time, without paying extra money. Out of 30 days, 15 days will be taken for getting all the NOCS of concerned agencies and rest 15 days for processing and sanctioning of building construction plan,” said an SDMC official.
In case any agency or department fails to provided the NOC within stipulated time, it will become considered as deemed NOC by the concerned municipal agency’s system, said the official.
