Delhi: People can now get larger layout plans approved online

Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Goel, during a press conference at the BJP Delhi office, said, “People building houses up to 500 square metres will now just have to get a layout plan prepared by an architect and submit it online. It will then be acknowledged and certified by the municipal corporation.”

South Corporation standing committee chairperson Jai Prakash said the decision will save people from red tapism and corruption.

“Earlier, people needed no-objection certificates from dozen of agencies. We often got complaints of engineer-level officials making undue restrictions. This will save them from these things,” he said.

South MCD commissioner Gyanesh Bharti explained: “The architect will file the case online for obtaining sanction of building plan certificate. This will be scrutinised automatically by the Online Building Plan System module. In case of any shortcoming, an error report will generated so modifications can be made.”
