Next step
Want the file checked before you submit?
We review the plot documents and drawing set first, then quote the permission work and the construction scope separately.
Start with the authority, not a generic checklist.
1. Identify the authority
Use the 7/12, property card, CTS record and development plan together. The authority decides the portal, drawing rules, fee route and approval sequence.
2. Assemble the drawing and land file
Keep the current land record, ownership chain, architect drawings, structural set, soil report and applicable NA or layout record in one folder before approaching the authority.
3. Verify before filing
The checker gives you a starting point, not a guarantee. Confirm current forms, fees, file size rules, NOCs and timelines on the official authority page linked in the result.
4. Get the sanction before excavation
Once drawings and queries are resolved, obtain the applicable sanction and commencement approval. Keep the sanction, fee receipts and inspection record with the project file.
Use the authority, not an aggregator, for the final filing.
Search results often mix directories, old screenshots and unofficial summaries. Use the checker to prepare your file, then open the relevant official source for the current form, fee and submission route.
Gram Panchayat requirements are village-specific. Start with the Maharashtra eGramSwaraj source, then confirm the route with the Gram Panchayat secretary.
Permission is the first line of the project, not a separate website.
Once the authority is clear, the next decisions are the plan, soil report, structural design, cost band and construction scope. Use the related tools to prepare those inputs, then send one complete brief to the Arsa team.

WhatsApp a builderWhich authority grants building permission in Pune?
+
PMC handles plots inside Pune Municipal Corporation limits, PCMC handles Pimpri-Chinchwad limits, and PMRDA covers much of the Pune metropolitan ring. Baramati Municipal Council or a Gram Panchayat applies outside those limits. Confirm the authority from the land record and development plan before filing.
What documents are needed for building permission?
+
The usual file starts with the current land record, ownership documents, architect drawings, structural drawings, a soil report, and the applicable layout or NA record. The exact set changes with authority, plot and project type.
Does this checker give an official approval or exact fee?
+
No. It is a planning aid that identifies the likely route, checklist and official starting point. Fees, forms, timelines and approvals must be verified with the relevant authority for the specific plot.
Can construction start before building permission?
+
Do not start until the applicable sanction and commencement approval are in hand. Starting early can create stop-work, penalty or demolition risk.
Does PMRDA need development permission before building permission?
+
For many plots, the layout or development-permission stage comes before the individual building-permission stage. If the plot is already in a sanctioned layout, the route may be different, so verify the plot records with PMRDA.
Can I use this for a farmhouse on agricultural land?
+
Use the farmhouse option to see the land-use and farm-plan checks. A residential farmhouse generally needs the applicable land-use or NA route before construction; confirm the current village or municipal process before committing.
