HUDA to introduce online approval for building plans

The step has been taken in view of complaints by the allottees about the cumbersome procedures followed by the HUDA’s field staff for inspection.

Presently,for obtaining occupation certificate of a residential,commercial or institutional building,an allottee is required to submit the details of the building along with the architect’s certificate. Following this,HUDA’s staff inspects the building. Once violations are listed,the file is sent to the accounts department for fixing the compounding fee,to be paid by the allottees.

As per the new initiative,architects will now be required to make an assessment of compoundable violations along with the fee to be paid by allottees,thus bypassing inspection and fixing of penalty by the officials. In order to have an early and effective implementation of the plan,HUDA Chief Administrator T C Gupta has asked the zonal administrators and estate officers to conduct special training session-cum interactive sessions with architects in June and July.
