2. OCCUPANCY OF BUILDINGS
All buildings, whether existing or hereafter proposed, shall be classified in one of the following

3. FSI, FAR & COVERAGE ?
FSI (Floor Area Index) is the indication of maximum permissible area that a builder can a build on a
plot.
FSI and FAR (Floor Area Ratio) means the same thing but is denoted differently.
For ex: FAR is expressed in index, while an FSI represents a percentage.
F.A.R = Total floor area on the floors/Plot area
F.S.I = (Total floor area on the floors/Plot area) x 100
ie: FAR of 1.5 is FSI of 150 %
COVERAGE = maximum built up area at any floor /Plot area)x 100
Ground Coverage area is the ratio of the maximum allowed build-up area on ground level to the total
area of the plot.

5. MINIMUM SETBACK REQUIRED FOR BUILDING FROM PLOT BOUNDARIES (OPEN SPACE)
Upto 10 m height for different occupancies.
