Approvals

Documents you need before building a house in Pune

A practical checklist of the property, approval and personal documents to keep ready before you start construction in Pune or PCMC.

By the Buildvix team · 4 November 2026 · 5 min read

Most construction delays in Pune don't start on site. They start with a missing document that holds up building permission or a bank loan. Getting your paperwork in order first saves weeks.

Exact requirements depend on your plot and on which authority approves it: Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) or PMRDA for areas outside the two corporations. Use this list as a starting point and confirm the final list with your architect.

Ownership and title documents

  • Registered sale deed or conveyance deed in your name.
  • 7/12 extract (for land in revenue records) or property card (for city survey areas).
  • Title search report covering past ownership, usually prepared by a lawyer.
  • Mutation entries showing the transfer of ownership to you.

Land and layout documents

  • Non-agricultural (NA) permission, if the land was originally agricultural.
  • Approved layout plan, if your plot is part of a sanctioned layout.
  • Measurement or demarcation map showing plot boundaries.
  • Latest property tax receipts.

Documents your architect prepares

  • Site plan and building plans drawn to the applicable development rules.
  • Structural design and stability certificate from a structural engineer.
  • Area statement showing FSI used, setbacks and parking.

Personal documents

  • PAN card and Aadhaar of all owners.
  • Passport-size photographs.
  • Power of attorney, if someone else is applying on your behalf.

A tip before you apply

Ask your architect to check FSI, setbacks and road width for your exact plot before finalising the design. It is much easier to fix a drawing than to fix a rejected application.

Buildvix prepares drawings and handles approvals for every project.
