Approval process for Real Estate Projects in Maharashtra (Mumbai)

Good question Arpit,
Time required for obtaining Building Layout approval-1 month, cost of obtaining approval-application fee of Rs. 28/sq-mtr. of plot/built up area whichever is larger for residential projects.

You have to take the permission by Development Authority/Municipality.

But remember it will be a long process. As the building company submits an application form with plans and all required documents, as prescribed by section 373 of the BMC Act, at the Andheri Building Proposal Office of the BMC. If all the documents are in order and the file is complete, the building company can proceed the payment of the scrutiny fees have been paid, the application file is forwarded to the concerned officer in the Building Proposal Dept. Then the file is forwarded to the survey office, which make it remarks on the application file and check the remarks from the Development Plan Office. If Survey Office is satisfied with its review, it will send the application file back to the Building Proposal Department within week.

You are right Rakshit,
But i heard that a sub-engineer from the Building Proposal Office will conduct a site inspection which can take another 3-4 days of receiving the file from the Survey Office. The building company must be on-site when the inspection take place. The sub-engineer scrutinizes the potential of the plot including the provision of civic infrastructure.
