Step-by-Step Execution & Sanction Workflow
Verify the land parcel against the local Master Plan / Development Plan (Zone classification). Verify Revenue Department records (Khasra/Khatauni/Jamabandi) for clear, unencumbered ownership.
Prepare the geo-referenced site plan, contour map, approach road layout, and building setback plans in accordance with local building bye-laws and Master Plan norms.
Apply for and secure mandatory No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from relevant government departments (PWD, Pollution Control Board, Fire Department, Electricity/Water Supply, and Forest/Revenue Authorities).
Submit the formal CLU application to the District Collector / Competent Authority (e.g., Regional Development Authority / Town & Country Planning Department). Attend site inspections by revenue and planning officials.
Pay the prescribed statutory conversion charges, development fees, and land impact fees. Obtain the official CLU Sanction Order and update the Revenue Records (Mutation / Khasra Girdawari entry).
