SDMC awarded for e-governance

September 25, 2014 08:11 am | Updated 08:11 am IST - NEW DELHI:

The South Delhi Municipal Corporation has been given the Skoch Order of Merit for e-governance projects for its online building plan sanctioning service.

Started in 2011

An SDMC statement on Wednesday said the award was given on September 19. The civic body’s predecessor, the unified Municipal Corporation of Delhi, started the online facility in January 2011.

‘13,600 plans sanctioned’

Since then about 13,600 building plans have been sanctioned, said the SDMC statement.

The online service does away with manual examination of building plans and fees. The plans are automatically scrutinised after being uploaded and are checked for compliance with the building bye-laws prescribed in the Master Plan-2021.
