MCD removes mandatory inspection for regularisation of buildings up to 105 sqm in Delhi

New Delhi: Property owners in Delhi with buildings up to 105 square metres will no longer have to undergo mandatory physical inspection by MCD engineers for regularisation, with the civic body shifting the entire process online in a move aimed at reducing delays and simplifying approvals.

The decision is expected to benefit thousands of residents who often faced procedural hurdles and long waits in getting smaller residential buildings regularised.

According to mayor Pravesh Wahi, the move will help clear pending cases faster while making the system more transparent and citizen-friendly. He explained that to remove obstacles in the regularisation process for buildings up to 105 square metres (127 square yards), the mandatory physical inspection by an engineer has now been abolished.

“Under the new system, the entire process will now be completed online. The building owner will only need to submit an undertaking certified by an authorised architect and deposit the prescribed fee. Thereafter, MCD will complete the regularisation process within the stipulated timeframe,” Wahi added.Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Bakrid wishes, messages and eid 2026
