Overview on Building NOC

Every individual who plans to undertake new construction, erect, re-erect, make alterations to any part of a building, or demolish any building must obtain building permits from the local planning authority. Building permission serves as the No Objection Certificate (NOC) for building construction. The application for a Construction NOC can be made through a registered architect or a licensed engineer/structural engineer to the planning authority.

A NOC is a legal document issued by an authority, institution, or even an individual, certifying that no legal issues will arise from the intended action or business. A Building NOC clarifies that there are no legal impediments that could affect the construction or renovation activities.

Advantages of Building NOC

The advantages of obtaining a Building NOC are:

• Ensures the protection of individuals living in the building.
• Helps avoid higher penalties and imprisonment.
• Protects the owner from legal formalities and potential losses.
• Grants the right to construct a building legally.
• Serves as a pre-requisite for obtaining other licenses and NOCs.

The NOC acts as proof that the relevant authority has no objection, allowing the individual to proceed with the construction of the building.

Documents Required for Obtaining a Building NOC

To apply for a Building NOC, you must submit the following documents:

1. Copy of Building Plans through the Building Authority, including:

   • Site plan
   • Building plan
   • Layout plan
   • Analysis report

   The building plan must comply with the prescribed bye-laws.

2. Completed checklist in a questionnaire format.

3. ID and address proof of the applicant.

4. Images of the establishment/building taken from the outside.

5. Blueprint of the building.

Procedure to Obtain Building NOC

The procedure for obtaining a Building NOC involves several important steps, ensuring compliance with various approvals required before construction. Here's the stepwise guide:

Step 1
Procure all the required documents.

Step 2
Submit an online application with pre-DCR (Development Control Regulations) drawings to get pre-approval. Various approvals required before starting the construction include:

• Land Title
  Ensure the land has a clear title, confirming the property’s legal standing and condition. The builder must acquire the land before starting the project.

• Land Clearance
  Obtain consent from relevant authorities regarding the conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural land. Approval is needed from the local body and the Ministry of Urban Development (UD).

• Zonal Clearance
  After securing land titles and land clearance, obtain a permit from the zonal authorities for approval as per local government regulations.

• Building Approval and Building Plan
  Approval is needed from authorities based on the building byelaws, master plan, and local body act. The building plan outlines the building’s layout and ensures compliance with building codes.

• Layout Approval
  Builders must secure approval for the design plan from relevant professionals before construction begins.

• Imitation of Disapproval
  This refers to the criteria that must be followed at different stages of the construction process, divided into three categories:

  1. Before construction begins
  2. During construction
  3. After construction is completed

• Completion Certificate
  After completing construction, the builder must obtain a Completion Certificate before selling the property. This ensures that the building follows the approved plan.

• Installation of Services and Utilities
  The builder must obtain permission for utilities, ensuring that the building complies with the relevant building codes.

• Occupancy Certificate
  This certificate is required from the local body before anyone occupies the building. The local body issues a recommendation after inspections and NOC approval.

Step 3
Submit the file offline.

Step 4
A site visit report is prepared, and the Building Inspector issues an order.

Step 5
Make payments for fees and challans.

Step 6
Final stamp approval on the blueprint.

Step 7
Obtain the Commencement Certificate, allowing construction to officially begin.
