Various initiatives are taken to enhance “Ease of Doing Business” in the construction sector, and in this regard, the introduction of concepts such as Common Application Form, Risk based Inspection and Common Occupancy-Cum Completion Form were also introduced.

Based on the decision of MoEF & CC, Environment Clearance (EC) for buildings having built-up area up to 1,50,000 sqm have been integrated in the building sanctioning procedure wherein no separate EC from MoEF & CC is needed. Instead, the concerned building sanctioning authority has to ensure compliance with the required environment standards for such buildings. Some of the salient features are:

• Risk-Based Classification has been adopted for all types of buildings.
• The maximum time limit for granting a building permit by the local bodies has been reduced to 30 days.
• A simplified procedure for sanctioning of Government building plans has been introduced.
• The number of documents to be submitted for obtaining a building permit has been reduced significantly.
• The fees and charges to be deposited through an automated calculator and a single payment gateway.

Approval/ NOC by agencies outside the local bodies such as ASI/NMA, DFS, AAI, MoEF&CC, DUAC, HCC, DMRC, etc. are integrated with online building sanctioning procedure. The colour-coded maps showing areas of the external agencies are made available online building permit process.
