In Chandigarh, building plan approval is now completely online: architects can self-certify plans, and updates will be received via SMS and email.

The Chandigarh administration has fully implemented an online system to make the building plan approval process easier and more transparent. Now, the building plan approval process for residential, commercial, and industrial properties in the city will be done online. The new system includes self-certification facilities for architects, real-time tracking of applications, and a monitoring dashboard for officials.
