1. Legal Framework: MCD’s July 7, 2022 Office Order

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s policy (Office Order dated July 7, 2022) provides clear guidelines that supplement existing DDA protocols:

  • Applicable for both DDA-built flats and CGHS flats.
  • MCD directly issues NOC/Permission, particularly for denotified areas—you do not need to approach DDA for NOC in such regions.
  • NOC/Permission validity: 5 years—revocable if violations occur during construction.

Key application prerequisites include:

  • Written consent from owners using the common staircase—minimum 50%, excluding ground floor. Ground floor consent is desirable but not mandatory.
  • Independent, self-supporting lift shaft structure (with connecting bridge if needed), preserving structural integrity.
  • Placement of the lift on a blind wall, or at sufficient distance from the existing structure, to ensure light and ventilation are not compromised.
  • Technical feasibility from a certified lift manufacturing agency (preferably CPWD-listed).
  • Certificates from a registered structural engineer or architect, confirming compliance with the National Building Code (NBC).
  • Four building plan sets, duly signed by a registered architect and proposing/secondary applicants.
  • Undertakings and indemnity bonds covering safety, operation, fire and electrical credentials, and legal indemnity to MCD.
  • RWA/CGHS MC NOC, where service shifting is needed.
  • Completion certificate obligations: Post-installation, you must submit the necessary completion intimations along with approvals from the Fire Department, Lift Inspector, and Electricity Provider.
  • Fees: Processing fee of ₹5,000. Development charges vary: ₹25,000 for A&B category, ₹15,000 for EG&H, ₹10,000 for others.
