Digital nod of building plans gains popularity
The system of digital approval of building plans,
introduced by the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) in April this
year, is gaining popularity with over 600 applications received in the
first three months of its launch.
“Till June end, a
total of 630 building plans were received for approval out of which 553
were cleared online. 284 of these approved maps were also issued
digitally and only nine applications were rejected due to incomplete
information,” said a senior SDMC official.
The civic
body holds the distinction of being the only municipal corporation in
the country to have introduced online approval of building plans through
a single-window system issuing the first such digitised building plan
on May 27, said the official. This has sped up the process of approval,
which earlier used to take months.— PTI
