Step-by-Step DSIRDA Building Permission Workflow
Developing a plot in Dholera SIR requires passing through a standardized, sequential legal verification process:
1. Verification of Land Title
You must present the registered Sale Deed, Index-II, and the latest 7/12 Extract (Record of Rights). The name of the current owner must be officially recorded in the revenue records of the Gujarat Government.
2. Collector Non-Agricultural (NA) Certification
Building is only permitted on land that has been officially converted from agricultural to non-agricultural status under Section 65 of the Land Revenue Code, accompanied by the Collector NA Order and a valid DSIRDA NA NOC.
3. Preparation of Architectural Plans
Your architectural plans must be drafted and signed by a registered Architect or Engineer licensed by DSIRDA. The plans must strictly comply with the FSI, ground coverage, margins, and plinth height regulations defined in the DGDCR.
Checklist of Documents Required for Submission
To apply for building permission, you must upload the following documents to the single-window portal:
| Document / Form | Purpose | Statutory Issuing Authority |
|---|---|---|
| Form No. 1 | Application form for development permission | DSIRDA Portal |
| Form No. 2A / 2B / 2C / 2D | Undertakings from Architect, Structural Designer, Developer, and Owner | Registered Professionals |
| Kachha Naka / Tippan | Official land boundary measurement sheet | District Inspector of Land Records (DILR) |
| Zoning Certificate | Verifies permitted land use (residential, commercial, industrial) | DSIRDA Planning Department |
| Structural Stability Certificate | Verifies seismic-resistant design compliance | Licensed Structural Engineer |

Key Technical Rules to Remember
- Road Width Clearance: Under DGDCR Table 10-1, a residential plot must have a minimum access road width of 9 meters to receive building permission.
- Plinth Constraints (Rule 9.11.4): The plinth height of the habitable structure must be at least 0.6 meters above the road crown level to prevent monsoon waterlogging.
- Marginal Spaces: No permanent structures, including basement projections, can be constructed within the required minimum marginal setback space from the boundary lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long does it take to get building permission from DSIRDA?
If all documents, structural stability reports, and boundary measurements are in order, the online single-window system typically processes and issues the building commencement certificate (NOC) within 30 to 45 days.
2. Can I build on my plot without GujRERA registration?
For individual villas or bungalows built for personal use on plots smaller than 500 square meters, GujRERA is not required. However, any commercial, mixed-use, or group housing development must register with GujRERA before applying for DSIRDA approval.
