What this step achieves

The form named in the official source

Form No. C - 'Application for development permission under section 8, 15 of GSIR Act, 2009 and 27, 34 and 49 of GTPUD Act, 1976', Appendix D to the Draft General Development Control Regulations (DGDCR) of DSIRDA. Accompanied by the DSIRDA scrutiny checklist for a development permission case ('વિકાસ પરવાનગીના પ્રકરણની ચકાસણીનું પત્રક').

Statutory fee

Not stated No official fee published, gap 10

Why this is empty. DSIRDA development permission (Form C) fee and BU scrutiny fee: NOT PUBLISHED. Form No. C carries no fee clause and the BU checklist has a blank line for the scrutiny fee amount. The DSIRDA General Development Control Regulations (DP Report 2 / GDCR) at https://dholera.gujarat.gov.in/dp-report-2/35 was not among the local artifacts and may carry a fee schedule; it was not retrieved. Recorded as null.

Timeline stated in the source

Under section 29 of the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976, which applies mutatis mutandis in the SIR: if the appropriate authority fails to communicate its order to the applicant within THREE MONTHS from the date of receipt of the application, the permission shall be DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GRANTED on the expiry of that period. Section 32: every permission granted or deemed granted under section 29 remains in force for ONE YEAR and then lapses; the authority may extend it by periods not exceeding one year at a time, subject to an aggregate maximum of THREE YEARS. Appeal against a DSIRDA decision lies to the Disputes Resolution Forum within FIFTEEN DAYS (including public holidays) of the decision, and a second appeal to the Disputes Settlement Mechanism within a further fifteen days.

Notes recorded with this step

THE DEVELOPMENT PERMISSION FEE IS NOT PUBLISHED on the Form C page or in the form itself; recorded as null. The site's Development Permissions menu also carries 'Checklist - For DP' at /for-dp/42 and 'Checklist - For BU' at /for-bu/43, and a Professional Registration list and form at /form/46. Under GTPUDA section 49(1)(c), where a town planning scheme is in force and the appropriate authority does not communicate its decision within three months of the acknowledgment of receipt, permission is likewise deemed granted. Section 16(6) of the GSIR Act empowers DSIRDA to pull down or demolish anything built contrary to its decision and recover the cost.
