The first phase of the single window online system for obtaining building plan permissions from Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) and Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) and no objection certificates (NOCs) from different departments will go live from May 1.
As per the government order released by Tamil Nadu Housing and Urban Development department granting ‘Go-Live’ permission, 21 departments and agencies are involved in the NOC process in the single window system.
However, officials said that not all of them would be integrated to the online system from May 1. The government order said that integration of the NOC departments and agencies to the system would be carried out as per the readiness of those departments in the first phase. Similarly, the government order said that integration of urban local bodies (apart from Chennai) and rural local bodies shall be carried out in a phased manner as per their readiness.
