• The Delhi Development Authority issued a public notice on 10 June 2026 warning architects, supervisors, and structural engineers that submitting false information or misrepresenting facts in building permission applications will invite strict regulatory action under Clause 2.9.3 of the Unified Building Bye-Laws for Delhi–2016.
• Professionals found in violation face blacklisting, debarment, or any other action deemed appropriate by the Competent Authority under applicable laws and regulations.
• Property owners have been separately advised to engage only qualified and registered professionals and ensure full compliance with the Unified Building Bye-Laws for Delhi–2016.
The Delhi Development Authority issued a public notice on 10 June 2026 cautioning architects, supervisors, structural engineers, and the general public that professionals who submit false information, make misrepresentations, conceal material facts, or furnish incorrect certificates and documents in connection with building permission applications will face regulatory action under the city's building bye-laws.
The notice, signed by Ajay Kumar Saroj, Director (Building) at DDA, invokes Clause 2.9.3 of the Unified Building Bye-Laws for Delhi–2016, which empowers the Competent Authority to initiate action against registered professionals who violate the bye-laws during the grant of building permissions. The notice makes clear that such action may include blacklisting, debarment, or any other measure the Competent Authority considers appropriate in accordance with the provisions of the Unified Building Bye-Laws and other applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
The notice is directed specifically at professionals operating within DDA's development area and serves as a formal advisory that all plans, certificates, reports, undertakings, and documents submitted to the Authority must be accurate, complete, and in conformity with the applicable statutory provisions. The DDA has called upon all registered professionals to exercise due diligence before making any submission to the Authority.
In addition to the warning directed at professionals, the notice also carries an advisory for property owners, urging them to engage only qualified and registered professionals for any work requiring building permissions, and to verify that all submissions made on their behalf comply with the Unified Building Bye-Laws for Delhi–2016. This aspect of the notice reflects DDA's intent to address non-compliance from both ends — the professionals submitting documents and the property owners commissioning such work.
The notice does not reference any specific case or incident that may have prompted its issuance, and no figures regarding the number of cases under scrutiny or professionals currently under review have been disclosed. The directive applies broadly across all registered professionals working within the DDA's jurisdiction and is applicable to all building permission-related submissions going forward.
