When you need it

You need the authority's sanctioned plan before erecting, adding to or altering a building. Chandigarh Building Rules (Urban), 2017 set the required forms and drawings, filed online; Punjab uses the local building-permit/E-Naksha route.

Sanction isn't a title certificate nor authority for a prohibited use; deviations need a revised plan.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

No stamp duty: it creates no right in property, so it is not an instrument under section 2(14), Indian Stamp Act, 1899. Print on plain paper; pay only the authority's fee. Any affidavit filed is stamped separately.

Registration

Not registrable: creates no right in property; section 17, Registration Act, 1908 doesn't apply.

Notarisation

Not required, unless the authority asks for an affidavit.

Witnesses

Not required. The owner's and the professional's signatures suffice.

LEGAL BASIS

In Chandigarh building plans are filed on the Online Building Plan Approval System at obps.chandigarhsmartcity.in. Under the Estate Officer's Public Notice effective 10 February 2023, which followed the Supreme Court's judgment of 10 January 2023, the Estate Office entertains building plans and revised building plans for a residential property with more than one owner only where all the co-owners belong to the same family. In Punjab, on a site allotted by a development authority under the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995, a sanction of building plans is given only to the allottee on the authority's file, and the completion certificate is issued under rule 14 and the occupation certificate under rule 23 of the Punjab Urban Planning and Development Building Rules, 2021, by the municipal corporation, council or development authority concerned.
