CHANDIGARH: The Department of Local Government Punjab fully in keeping with the vision put forward by the Chief Minister, Captain Amarinder Singh to provide top class governance to the people of State in every sector, has decided to implement online building plan approval system in all the Municipal Bodies of Punjab.

The proposed Building Plan Management System shall automate the end-to-end process from empanelment of architect, Online Documents Submission, Online Fee Payment, Architect Registration, Building Plan Approval, and Plinth Level Approval to Completion/Occupation Certificate across all Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in Punjab.”

Disclosing this here on Thursday, the Local Bodies Department, said that a software called “Online Building Plan Approval System” would be provided to the Town Planning Wing, Department of Local Government, Punjab ensuring that that a building proponent does not require visiting any of the offices and submission of building plans in hard copy version is to be entirely done away with. The endeavour would be to enhance the citizen centric services through responsive and transparent e-Governance Systems.
