Colour-coded zonal map to check NOC requirement: SDMC

NEW DELHI: To ascertain the requirement of no-objection certificates (NOCs) for a particular property, the municipal corporations came up with a new idea to use colour-coded zonal map.

“The map is developed in collaboration with the Geo-Spatial Delhi Limited (GSDL), under the larger ambit of ease of doing business and will be used by three municipal corporation,” SDMC official said.

The map will help people to see from whom they will need to obtain NOC before starting construction work at a site. SDMC has tied up with various government departments such as National Monuments Authority, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), Airports Authority of India (AAI), Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC), Delhi Jal Board, Delhi Fire Service, Chief Inspector of Factories and Heritage Conservation Committee.

“The map is quick and reliable, a person need to enter his property address on the zonal map and a window will appear which will show the number of agencies from which permission is required, presence indicated with separate colours in the area. It will vary depending on the height and distance of their property from these agencies’ projects,” official added.

Common Application Form (CAF) have been provided on website, which will help the applicant to get NOCs as well as building plan, in 30 days. Out of 30 days, 15 days will be taken for getting all the NOCs of concerned agencies and rest 15 days for processing and sanctioning of building construction plan.

In case any agency or department fails to provide the NOC within stipulated time, it will become considered as deemed NOC by the concerned municipal agency’s system, said the official.
