Need suggestions about having shop at apartments

Q: Can a residential apartment have 4 shops of 200 square feet each on the ground floor? What permissions / fees builder has to pay to get this permission?. The plot is in Shivajinagar, Pune.

10000 Sq. Ft. plot in which owners wish to have their own flat and a small shop of 200 SQ feet each if legally allowed and possible by getting a commercial license.

I do not think the flat owner can have four shops in an apartment complex. It is advisable to take suggestion form any legal expert.

Yes. We have requested builder to do the same, just wanted to get a gut feel how costly it is to get a commercial license and how much impact in terms of reduction in size it will have on residential flat we will get after reconstruction.
