Knowledge Standard: Building Plan Approval
National Urban Digital Mission (NUDM)
Contributors:
The Building Plan Approval Knowledge Standard, developed under the National Urban Digital Mission (NUDM), provides a standardized taxonomy to streamline and digitize building plan approvals across Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). It defines data entities, processes, channels, stakeholders, KPIs, and documentation for all stages of building approvals. The standard ensures semantic and syntactic interoperability, promoting data consistency, transparency, and compliance with building codes and bye-laws. It supports modular, evolvable, and inclusive design principles, enabling smoother integration across digital platforms. This knowledge standard empowers cities to deliver citizen-centric, efficient, and accountable services while aligning with national e-Governance frameworks.
