If permission was not granted within 21 days, it amounts to deemed approval. Time limit of ten days was prescribed for seeking information on documents or additional information from the public. To ensure that time limits are followed, the inspecting officer or the scrutiny officer has been instructed to complete the inspection within seven days. No inspection of the site if the site is located in approved or regularized layout.

License of the licensed architects, engineers, surveyors will be cancelled if they submit wrong plans or give faulty information more than three times. If the time limits are not followed, penalty of Rs 1,000 for every one day delay will be levied on the staff concerned for the delay, Aravind Kumar said.
