Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Chhattisgarh: AI-based direct building permit system to be installed in municipa 

/ Eco Times / 04 Jan 2022

Extract :

The Chhattisgarh government has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) based direct building permit system for constructions of buildings on residential plots of upto 500 sq meter in urban areas

Under this system, building permits would be issued without human intervention

The Artificial Intelligence based direct building permit system will be installed in every municipal corporation of the State, said the Chief Minister

The CM said,

“ The newly introduced building permit system will expedite the infrastructure development in cities of the state and save time and energy of the applicants. This system would offer an effective solution to the existing problems in the permit issuance process. Earlier, this process was complicated, time-taking and not easily accessible, requiring map-approval from several officials. But now this entire process will be free from human intervention and will be completed in a shorter duration “

The portal has been developed in 15 days at the instruction of the Chief Minister

If the applicant submits all the required documents with the application fee of Re 1, the building permit will be issued within seconds


Alarmelmangai D, Secretary, Urban Development Department said,

“ In this newly implemented online building permit system, separate dashboards have been made for ,

#  Public Representatives

#  Commissioners, and

#  Engineers,

On which, the applications received on a daily basis are displayed along with the information about,

 #  Approvals

#  Permissions

#  Pending Cass

 

The Commissioners, Construction Officers, building Inspectors and other officers of all the municipal corporations have been trained to use the new Direct Building Permit System , through a state-level workshop

 


My  Take :

 

Ø  I hope this path-breaking innovation will soon get copied / implemented by city municipalities, all over India

 

Ø  Here are links to those innovations :

 

 https://albpms-dtcp.cgstate.gov.in/BPAMSClient/?    

AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

 

Building Plan approval process flow 

 

Ø  To a large extent, this replicates the PROCESS described in my following 6 YEAR old e-mail :

 SELF CERTIFICATION FOR BUILDERS ? ……………………………[ 04 Nov 2015 ]


     Extract :

 

     E-Delivery of Services to Construction Industry

 

    Here is how :

 

*  All builders / developers must register on Municipal Web sites and obtain

   unique BUILDER REGISTRATION NUMBER

 

*  Builders must fill in online, on web site of concerned Municipality, a form :

 

    BUILDING  PERMIT  APPLICATION

 

*  Building Permit Application Form will have a STANDARD FORMAT , into

    which applicant will need to submit exhaustive details re the project

 

    This will include detailed Floor Plans and Structural Drawings , along with

    names / contact details of Architects / Structural Engineers etc

 

    The FORM will require slab-casting dates for each slab and the final

    completion date when builder will apply for Occupation Certificate

   

*  The Form will have a section called

 

    SELF   CERTIFICATION   /  DECLARATION

 

    Builder would be required to tick YES / NO against each item as shown :

 

    Does your proposed Building / Structure / Project , satisfy the criteria /

    notifications / regulations , issued by the concerned Ministries in respect

    of :

 

    #   Built-up Area........... ( YES ) / ( NO )

 

    #   Height Restriction

 

    #   Fire Fighting

 

    #   Water Harvesting

 

    #   Roof-top Solar Power

 

    #   Effluent Treatment

 

    #   Garbage Disposal

 

    #   Earthquake Resistant Structural Design..............etc

 

Clicking on each item will reveal the relevant " Notification / Regulation " issued by the concerned Ministry

 

To make the process absolutely fool-proof , the form will insist on an " Electronic Signature " of the applicant

 

DECLARATION / UNDERTAKING :

 

" I declare that I have read each and every notification / regulation , listed   in respect of items mentioned above

  

I further declare that I explicitly agree to abide by these regulations

 

I am aware that Occupation Certificate will not be granted if my completed project is found to be in violation of any of these notifications / regulations

 

I will not allow any person / entity to occupy any part of this premises , until and unless , Municipality issues to me , the Occupation Certificate

 

If Municipality finds any violations , I agree to rectify the same before applying for a fresh Occupation Certificate

 

If Municipality is not in a position to issue Occupation Certificate due to any

violations which simply cannot be rectified , then I will demolish the said building /

 project / structure  on my own and before such demolition , refund with interest ,

 payments collected from the buyers

 

The plot of land is free from any encumbrances / litigations

 

I am not in default of any loans taken from any bank / individuals

 

I will not accept any payment in cash , nor make cash payments

 

I absolve the Municipal Corporation of any liability arising out of non completion of my project 

 

I agree that my Building Permit Application and my Registration Application details

 , be made accessible to public on your web site , along with full details of my past

 / current projects and full details of my balance sheet / bank borrowings  " 

 

 

GRANT OF APPROVALS BY MINISTRIES :

 

As soon as the builder submits the online BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION , it automatically and instantly , appears on the web sites of ALL the concerned Ministries

 

The concerned officer of each Ministry , makes APPROVED / REJECTED entries in the application form , from the backend

 

If rejected, he will provide the reasons

 

Ministry officers are required to carry out this entry, within 24 hours

 

As soon as an officer of any Ministry makes entry and SUBMITS , the application forms on web sites of ALL Ministries and web site of the concerned Municipality , get updated simultaneously and instantly , making for MIRROR IMAGES at all times

 

As soon as any entry is made , a copy gets emailed to the applicant builder

 

Any " editing " of the application form by the builder , will start the entire process , all over

 

Applicant builder will be obliged to display the latest emailed form at the site

 

The database so created on web sites of ALL Ministries - and concerned Municipality - will be searchable State-wise / City-wise

  

CHANGES  IN  RELEVANT  LAWS :

 

To speed up any litigation between the parties concerned ( Builder / Buyers / Central & State Govts / Municipality / Bankers etc ) , existing laws may be changed

 

IMPORTANT :

Every application must be in the open domain and visible to anyone , online and transparently

 

There should be provision for any visitor of the web site to report any abuse / violation of regulations or any objection to the proposed construction

 

ADVANTAGES :

 

If such SELF CERTIFICATION process is implemented, it should be possible for India to beat Singapore, where getting 11 approval takes only 26 days !

 

It would be ZERO days in our case !

 

 

Dear Shri Hardeep Singh Puriji


[ Minister for Housing and Urban Development / hardeep.spuri@sansad.nic.in / minister-mohua@nic.in ]

 

I urge you to motivate all State Chief Ministers to emulate this outstanding

 example of e-Governance set by Shri Baghel


If implemented across the country, this innovation holds following promise  :


#  Dramatically accelerate the Construction Industry

#  Building Projects will get completed as per target dates

#  All stakeholders will have identical info about project-status in REAL TIME ( use

    of Blockchain Technology ? )

#  Elimination of corruption, rampant in Construction Industry

#  Creation of millions of new jobs ( especially for migrant construction workers )
