No building plan approval for painting: NDMC issues list of works exempt from permits
NDMC clarified that the exemptions do not permit unauthorised construction, additional floors, setbacks and other statutory conditions
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has issued a public notice listing works that are exempt from building plan approvals under the Unified Building Bye-Laws for Delhi, 2016 (UBBL-2016). The exemption includes repairs such as plastering, painting, flooring, roof replacement, and alterations to doors and windows. Additionally, the notice exempts specified public utility structures, including public toilets, traffic and police control rooms, air purification systems, vertical gardens, dhalaos, and solar panels, from building permits, subject to prescribed conditions.
The move aims to address the issue of building users applying for unnecessary permissions due to a lack of awareness and clarity, potentially causing inconvenience and harassment.
