Why permissions matter
Development in Maharashtra is governed by planning legislation and development control regulations administered by the relevant planning authority — for example a municipal corporation or development authority.
Common stages
- Verification of zoning and permissible use
- Building plan approval and commencement certificate
- Stage-wise approvals during construction
- Occupation / completion certificate
Regulations
Maharashtra has introduced Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations for many areas, while certain authorities apply their own regulations. Which framework applies depends on the location of the project.
