1) it is your case that building would not be able to bear another floor . in such a case get structural audit done of building . whether it is in position to bear burden of another floor .

2) file RTI application to obtain building plans sanctioned by Muncipal corporation

3) consult a local architect as to infirmities in said plan .

4) Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) had issued a circular, making construction of parking space within the building mandatory, without which no building plan would have been sanctioned. further as per said circular people applying for sanction to carry out additions/alterations in the existing structure such as construction of an additional floor will also have to make provision of parking space within their premises.

you are correct . delhi Govt has relaxed norms for construction of 3rd floor . you dont need NOC from other flat owners for construction of 3rd floors iin Delhi . however aspects such as structural safety , fire safety , non obstruction of passages , air and sunshine of neighbors will have to be considered while sanctioning building plans . decision will be taken on merits but existing flat owners will have chance to furnish their views

as per Master Plain Delhi 20 21 in residential areas permission was granted for construction of 3rd floor but SC had stayed order pending final decision on master plan 21 . owners can carry out construction provided they give affidavit that they will comply with final ordes of court on MPD 2021

1. NOC is no longer required in Delhi for construction up to third floor. The above being said, the construction cannot be carried out in a manner which is detrimental to the property. So at the time of considering the application for sanction to construct additional floors the factors such as the existing condition of the building, the harm that may be caused to it if alteration/addition is made thereto, unhindered air and sunshine reaching the neighbours have to be borne in mind. It is not a secret that the MCD officials pass the applications for sanction if their palms are greased. The decision of MCD to permit additional construction can be challenged in the court.

2. If he holds out a threat again then go to the nearest police station and file a complaint for criminal intimidation.

3. You have the right to move to court to seek a stay order against the construction of an additional floor.

4. Parking space shall have to be provided.

Hello

The builder can go ahead and obtain permission for construction, he is pressuring you for NOC to avoid any legal dispute.

Though your NOc is not necessary for him to construct up to 3rd floor, You can file a suit to get an injunction for his construction , and agree to continue only if your demand s are met.

In case the authorities sanction the plan you should challenge it in the court.

at present you should file a civil suit for injunction order and prevent the builder to build any additional story in the building till further order of the court. thereafter file an application before chairman of MCD according to MCD rules or urban building rules for prevention of granting sanction. NOC is required because you have preemption right towards building, any damages cause to the building will endangered your life.
