'IOD’ – Intimation of Disapproval & ‘CC’ - Commencement Certificate

<$BlogItemFeedLinks$>

In any society under redevelopment members are apprehensive about when to vacate the old buildings, What is IOD? What  is CC? Here is some clarity

In any redevelopment project once the members of the society have approved the plans and layout for the new proposed building submitted by the developers, the same is submitted by the Architects of the developers to the MCGM for approval. On receipt of the plans by the MCGM it will forwarded to its various departments for their approval and remarks. These remarks are compiled together in a letter by MCGM and issued to the Architects for the developers which is called 'Intimation of Disapproval' i.e. ‘IOD’ in short.

Now the IOD may go into numerous pages clearly enumerating conditions that are to be complied with (i) immediately before commencing the work (ii) during the process of construction of the building and (iii) after the process of completion of the new building. Before vacating the premises members should ensure that the developers comply with first part of the IOD i.e.  (i) above and should also ensure that there are no adverse remarks on the layout of their individual and overall plan approved by them.

While on a vacant plot without any structures a ‘CC’ Commencement Certificate is possible immediately in case of redevelopment where plots have existing structures obtaining CC without demolition of the old structure is technically not possible. Because once the plot is free of all structures it is surveyed by MCGM and dimensions of the plots with respect to old available records of MCGM are re-confirmed.

After the new D.C. Rules have come into force from 2012 the MCGM has gradually started taking a cautious approach for all re-development projects and recently it has been observed that they are ensuring that all land records and titles are clear so that members of societies under redevelopment don’t have to suffer due to disputes later.
