It's big relief for the builder as well as for the flat owners who always stuck with their heavy amount in a project. Builders will now have to submit files online, a copy of which will go to departments concerned, and they have to issue NOCs within 7 days. Builders will be informed about it through an SMS or email.

Really admirable job by Ajoy Mehta. The building proposals department which grant construction permission, is considered one of the most corrupt departments in the BMC. The builders and Building Proposal officials had several meetings, from which the middlemen were kept away. He chaired around a dozen of the meetings before reaching a consensus on reducing the NOCs from 150 to 70.

I heard that the civic authorities have approached chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray to inaugurate the new proposal booklet, which has norms on the reduced permissions. Mehta also advised builder not to approach civic officials, which will reduce the corruption.

In this booklet, it is clearly mentioned that once builders submit building proposals, they scrutinize them through the software, which take a month. Earlier they would scrutinize them manually, which would take a month. The entire process takes around a year-and-a-half. Builders often appoint an architect to coordinate with civic officials to get permission.

Yes, now builder can scrutinize their building proposal files with the help of an approved software before submitting them to the concerned department, as it will minimize developer-official interaction and will control corruption.

Well done BMC....
They have also told builders to purchase the software and check their proposal online. Municipal commissioner Ajoy Mehta, who has been attempting to put a system in place to minimize corruption, discussed the issue with builders and BP officials and concluded that they have to first remove middlemen.
