Reading: I recently bought a flat on the second floor in central Delhi, and it comes with roof rights. I’m planning to build an additional floor, making it a three-story building. The structure is strong enough to support the extra weight, and the total height will remain below 48 meters. Before starting construction, I’d like to know what documents and approvals I need, apart from the structural stability report and the MCD’s No Objection Certificate for building the extra floor.

Apart from the structural stability report and MCD’s NOC, you’ll need a building plan approved by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for the additional floor. This will involve submitting the plan along with relevant documents, including the property deed and roof rights documentation.
