📋 Quick Reference
What Delhi Building Bye Laws 2026 Cover
Delhi Building Bye Laws 2026 regulate several key aspects of construction — here's what property owners need to plan for.
📐 Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
FAR determines the total permissible built-up area relative to plot size. It varies by plot category, road width, and land use zone under the applicable Master Plan.
📏 Setback Rules
Minimum open space required on front, rear, and side of a plot before construction. Setback norms vary by plot size and are strictly enforced during plan sanction.
🏗️ Building Height
Maximum permissible height depends on road width, plot category, and zone — with additional norms for high-rise and group housing developments.
🚗 Parking Norms
Mandatory parking provision based on built-up area and building use — residential, commercial, or mixed-use — as prescribed under the bye laws.
🔥 Fire Safety Compliance
Buildings above a certain height or floor area require fire safety clearance and adherence to fire escape, staircase width, and fire-fighting equipment norms.
📄 Occupancy Certificate
A completion/occupancy certificate confirming construction matches the sanctioned plan is required before legal occupation of any new building.
