How long · 9 of 35 steps state a time
How long each step takes, and who the clock runs against
Almost nothing here is a promise about how fast an office will work. Of the nine steps that state a period, most are deadlines on you, and missing one of those can undo the purchase rather than merely delay it.
Two of them run the other way and are worth knowing by heart. If the Collector does not answer a non-agricultural application within three months, the permission counts as granted; the same rule applies to development permission inside Dholera SIR. The grouping below is our reading of the wording, so the wording is printed underneath each one.
Deadlines that fall on you
Miss these and the consequence is legal rather than administrative. The four month window for presenting a deed and the thirty day notice under the industrial-purpose route are the two that catch people.
- 12. Farmland for an industrial use
Thirty days to give the Collector notice of the purchase, and five years to start production.
The purchaser shall, WITHIN THIRTY DAYS from the date of purchase, send notice of the purchase to the Collector and endorse a copy to the Mamlatdar. - 19. Presenting the deed for registration
Four months from the day the deed was signed to present it.
The document may be presented within FOUR MONTHS from the date the document was executed. - 20. Mutation after the sale
Three months to report the purchase, and thirty days for anyone else to object once notice is given.
The person acquiring the right must report the acquisition to the designated officer WITHIN THREE MONTHS of the date of acquisition, and the...
Clocks that run against the office
These are the useful ones. Where the law says a decision must come within a period and the office stays silent, the wording states what happens next, and in two cases what happens next is that you win by default.
- 15. Non-agricultural permission
Three months for the Collector to answer, after which the permission counts as granted.
STATUTORY: section 65 requires the Collector to inform the applicant of his decision within THREE MONTHS; where he fails to do so the permission... - 30. DICDL plot, first come first served
Seven days to the screening committee, ten days to the allotment letter, then ten days for you to accept it.
Land Screening Committee meeting is scheduled within 7 days from the date of application. - 31. DICDL plot by auction or tender
Ten days of public notice before an auction, ten days for the winner to pay the first tenth.
Auction registration and public notice: at least 10 days from the latest date of the public notice appearing in newspapers. - 33. DSIRDA development permission
Three months for the authority to answer, after which the permission counts as granted.
Under section 29 of the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976, which applies mutatis mutandis in the SIR: if the appropriate...
Clocks on the other side of the table
One period binds a developer rather than a buyer, and one binds nobody at all because the Act declines to fix a number.
- 29. Check a RERA registration
Seven days to follow the online application with a hard copy, and three months to bank the buyers' money.
Regulation 3-B requires every application under section 4 and section 9 of the Act to be submitted online AND in hard copy, the hard copy within 7...
- 35. Single window for a new unit
The Act says the Apex Authority answers as early as possible and fixes no number of days.
The Apex Authority shall communicate its decision to the concerned person and the Regional Development Authority 'as early as possible' - no fixed...
The 26 steps with no stated time
For these, no source we read publishes a turnaround. The registration department in particular publishes no service standard for issuing a copy, an Index-2, an encumbrance certificate or a completed registration, which is recorded as a declared gap rather than guessed at.
