2.1 Intimation of disapproval is issued by MCGM after building plans are submitted giving
list of permissions & NOC’s to be obtained from various authorities.
2.2 IOD (meaning Intimation of Disapproval) is an essential permission given to the
developer by the municipal authorities to re-develop an old building / construct the
new building. The developer however cannot demolish the old building just on the basis
of IOD alone.
2.3 After Building Plans / Redevelopment plans are submitted to the Building Proposal
Department of MCGM, an IOD is issued, and under the terms and conditions of the
IOD, the developer is asked to comply with many requirements and obtain various
clearances like clearance from Environment Authorities, Tree Authorities, and Fire
Officer etc. After these clearances are obtained, the developer is entitled to obtain a
Commencement Certificate (CC). The demolition can commence legally only after
obtaining CC.

such as approach road distance from the main road; stress on the infrastructure due to
redevelopment will also be noted.
4.0 Now the stage of seeking permissions would commence. The List is only illustrative.
4.1 NA Certificate: Payment of NA Tax. NA means Non agriculture land. Without this NA
certificate, building can not be constructed. The existing society would have this NA
Certificate.
4.2 Forest Department permission: How many trees exist on the plot? Whether they will
have to cut due to redevelopment? If yes, how replantation will be done?
4.3 Permission from Sewerage department: The society must have connected the drainage
line to MCGM’s drainage line on the main road. However the existing drainage line of
the society may not be adequate after redevelopment. MOEF may stipulate the condition
to change the Drainage pipe line in view of redevelopment.
Redevelopment Project should provide for STP. (Sewerage Treatment Plant) Thus the
waste water from the bathroom can be treated and reused for the toilet, garden, car
washing etc. In such scenario, drainage output quantity will greatly reduce and hence
the existing drainage pipeline may be sufficient. This will also ease water problem after
redevelopment.
