The three municipal corporations of Delhi have approved 396 building plans through the new online application system that was launched last month, said a statement from the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) on Wednesday.
A total of 609 applications have been received by the corporations, which have a common online platform for the service. Out of these only five cases were rejected for lack of adequate information, the SDMC said.
The SDMC had sanctioned 180 digitally-signed construction permits, starting with the first one on May 27. According to the new Unified Building By-Laws, civic bodies have to either sanction a plan or reject the application within a month.
SDMC Mayor Shyam Sharma said the online system had made it easier for applicants, who no longer have to make several trips to municipal offices to get the building plan sanctioned. The number of documents, including affidavits, have been reduced.
