NOTIFICATION

(A) Risk Based Classification of building proposals (Classification of

buildings based on Risk Matrix): There is a need to make provisions for fast-

tracking building permission procedures for all non-automatic approvals. Therefore,

in the spirit of ‘Ease of Doing Business’, the buildings have been classified further

on the basis of risk parameters/risk based classification to clear the building permits

on the fast track system. The Town and Country Planning Organisation (TCPO),

Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India, has suggested that the

buildings may be classified into (i) Very Low Risk, (ii) Low Risk, (iii) Moderate Risk,

(iv) High Risk based on the plot area, height of building and road width and the

usage.
