Hi, I think premium FSI is not allowed in the red hill catchment areas which is restricted for development and those water bodies that are maintained by Chennai Metropolitan Water supply and Sewerage Board which are restricted for drinking water purposes. Additionally, the person availing premium FSI will also be able to get increased land extent for construction of building.So take legal suggestion before proceeding for FSI.

Thank you very much for your guidance.Mostly it is 1.5 for an ordinary building which would be also applicable in your case. Very few people go for premium FSI which entails huge costs.My personal suggestion is that go for ordinary FSI it is enough for 4550 sq ft area.

Hi Laltha, Premium FSI is a tool to encourage vertical growth in a metropolis. In a city like Chennai, where every inch of space counts Premium FSI is expected to ease the pressure on land at least to a marginal extent by allowing construction of more floor area.
