Let's understand the Challenge, First
Approving a project drawing for residential buildings in India is a lengthy and complex process that can be difficult to navigate. The process involves many stakeholders from the government, to the public, to the builders themselves. This complexity and the multiple stakeholders involved can create challenges for home owners who are trying to get their homes built or renovated.
There are four main agencies involved in approving the project drawings for residential buildings: the local authority, the state government, the central government and the municipal corporation. Each agency has its own set of rules and regulations that must be met before they approve a project drawing. If these rules are not met, then it may take longer than expected for approval and could delay construction on your home or renovation project.
The first step is going to be getting your permit online. You can do this by visiting the website of your local municipality, or by calling them directly and asking them to send you a copy of their application packet.
