When you need it

You want to use land for a purpose current zoning doesn't permit, and need approval first. In Punjab, apply for Change of Land Use/NOC through Town and Country Planning. Chandigarh has its own master-plan framework — use only if a change route exists there.

State the current and proposed use. CLU alone doesn't sanction a layout or building.

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 a sector site is held under the Capital of Punjab (Development and Regulation) Act, 1952 and the Chandigarh Estate Rules, 2007, and using it for a purpose other than the one allowed attracts misuse charges under Rule 10 of those Rules. A change-of-use application does not authorise the new use until it is granted.
