Gurugram

Gurugram is not one jurisdiction but many. A plot in a planned sector, a unit in an industrial estate, agricultural land in a village and a parcel in a municipal area may sit a few kilometres apart and still follow entirely different records and permission routes. The first job on any Gurugram site is to place it correctly.

Placing a parcel

1. Revenue position — village (revenue estate), khasra/killa numbers and tehsil or sub-tehsil, from the revenue record.
2. Planning position — whether it falls in a notified controlled area and which development plan and zone apply.
3. Estate or sector position — whether it is part of an HSVP sector or an HSIIDC estate, which brings its own allotment terms and procedures.
4. Municipal position — which urban local body (if any) the area falls under.

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority was set up under the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority Act, 2017 — see the library record.

Questions worth asking on a site search here

• Which revenue estate (village), khasra/killa numbers and tehsil does the parcel fall in, and do the latest Jamabandi entries match the seller's documents?
• Is the parcel inside a municipal area, a notified controlled area under a development plan, or an industrial estate? Each has a different permission route.
• If it is in an estate, who allotted it, on what terms, and what does the estate authority require for a transfer, lease or change of use?
• What zone does the applicable plan show for the parcel — read from the notified plan, not a brochure?
• What access is legally available (a public road of what recorded width, or a private passage)?
• What power load, water source and drainage exist today, and what is only applied for?
• Is any part of the land subject to forest, PLPA, Aravalli, heritage or airport-height restrictions?
