if i want to renovate my flat, is the space extendable?

Hi Anita,
Residents could make minor changes such as plastering and painting without permission. However, the local body will allow the tenants to shift walls or even break pillars and beams without prior authorisation. The residential repair rules prescribes that only some tenable repairs can be carried out without obtaining permissions from the Building and Factory department of the local body such as plastering, painting of the flat, guniting the walls, changing floor tiles, repairing WC, bath or washing places, repairing or replacing drainage pipes, taps, manholes and other fittings, repairing or replacing sanitary, water plumbing or electrical fittings, replacing the roof with the same material and replacement of existing waterproofing material of the terrace.
