Will your plan pass sanction?

You're probably here because:“Can I legally build this on my plot?”

BLOCKsetback
Front setback 2.00m is below the required 3.00m

The DCR requires a minimum front setback of 3.00m for this plot size / road width band. Anything less returns the file automatically.

Fix
Push the plinth back by 1.00m on the front side.
Next steps
  1. Push the plinth back by 1.00m on the front side.
  2. Submit a preliminary application before finalising drawings — the response letter tells you the exact deficiencies.
  3. Hire a licensed technical person (LTP / registered architect) to sign the drawing — sanction won't move without that signature.

An early-warning signal, not a legal clearance

We keep the rule bands refreshed against each city corporation's published bylaws, but zonal variations, layout releases, and case- specific relaxations can shift the answer. Use this to catch obvious blocks before you draw finals — then have your licensed technical person sign off the numbers before you file.
