Amalgamation combines two or more properties into one; subdivision does the reverse. Both are common steps in real estate development.
Documents Required
- Land ownership documents (POA-backed for JV developers)
- Property Card
- Land Plot Map
- Architect's Plan
- Online submission to the Municipal Corporation or Gram Panchayat
Approval Process
- Submission online, based on jurisdiction.
- Initial sanction through three levels of checks: Assistant Town Planner, Town Planner, then Chief Officer (or Town Planner for Gram Panchayat).
- Verification by the City Survey Officer, who conducts an on-ground survey.
- Final sanction by the Chief Officer, who allots a new survey number once satisfied.
The full process typically takes around six months, depending on documentation completeness and land complexity. Understanding it helps you ask the right questions of your developer at each stage.
