Haryana Government has approved the Haryana Building Code, 2017 and all the cases or applications for seeking approval of building plans and occupation certificate will now be governed by these building codes.
The building plans and occupation certificate applications which were in the pipeline and received before January 25, 2017 would be free to opt either under the since repealed Haryana Building Code, 2016 or the Haryana Building Code, 2017, said a spokesman of Town and Country Planning Department said that
Under the rules, every sanction for the erection or re-erection of any building would remain valid for two years in case of building height is less than 15 metres and for multi-storeyed buildings (fifteen metres or above in height), the sanction would remain valid for five years from the date of sanction.
The spokesman said that if a building is not completed within two years (or five years, as the case may be) of the date of permission, the sanction would be deemed to have lapsed with respect to that portion of the building which has not been completed.
