How do I obtain a building permission for my house construction in Aligarh under the state building permission rules?

Detailed Legal Analysis

Building permission is issued under Uttar Pradesh Rent Control Act 1972 and the local building bye-laws applicable to Aligarh. The Allahabad High Court has emphasised that plans must comply with setback, FAR and height restrictions notified by the planning authority.

You must submit architectural drawings, structural stability certificate and NOC from the fire department if applicable. The authority is bound to sanction or refuse within the statutory time frame, failing which a deemed sanction may be claimed.

Construction without permission is unauthorised and can be demolished without compensation. Regularisation schemes, when notified, allow compounding of minor deviations on payment of penalty.

The sanctioned plan is valid for a limited period and must be revalidated if construction is not commenced.
