‘G+2 building permission of gram panchayats not valid’
The Hindu
Permission should be taken online through TSbPASS
The Municipal Administration Department has said that any new building permission for construction of ground plus two (G+2) floors for residential purpose should be through the online TSbPASS - Telangana State Building Permission Approval and Self-Certification System only.
Since the online system has come into force from November 2020, any such permissions obtained through the gram panchayats (GP) should be made to apply fresh under the TS-bPASS adjusting the fee paid so far with the revised rates, said Director of Municipal Administration (DMA) N. Satyanarayana in a communication to the municipal commissioners and District Collectors concerned.
