GHMC grants permissions for construction of group housing/apartments and commercial complexes as per the building rules stipulated in G.O.Ms. No. 541 MA, dated 7.11.2000 and G.O.Ms.No. 86 MA, dated 03.03.2006, G.O Ms. No. 301, dated 11.04.2008.

GHMC also insists that every complex builder / owner must exhibit the approved plan with details showing elevation and section etc. for the general public which will purchase the flats/shops/office units, etc. in the said complexes.

In spite of several precautions by GHMC, owners / builders are violating their own undertakings resulting in several complaints from the public, especially from neighbours where the construction is under progress.

Most of the public is not aware about these procedures and enters into purchase agreements with such builders. People then approach GHMC for redressal of their grievances. At this stage GHMC can do little except take action on the deviations made.

In view of the above and in the interest of the general public GHMC is placing approved plans on its website. The public will thus know the actual permission granted for various categories of buildings before entering into a purchase agreement with a builder.
