You need to get the plan sanctioned by competent authority. Also, you need to keep in mind the municipal laws and building bye-laws before construction.

No it is violation of the Apartment Act and this society must have this kind of provision in its bye laws you cannot change the aesthetic look after building by doing any change outside society mein send you notice to demolish it if it is constructed and impose a penalty for that.

You may put a safety net if you have small children but not a permanent construction.

3. However, for making any additional construction, you shall have to take your construction plan sanctioned by your local Municipal Corporation.

4. With out availing the said sanction, any additional construction made by you shall be treated as illegal and will be subjected to be demolished by the Municipal Corporation on receipt of any complaint against your said illegal construction.

This may fall under structural change category.

If so you may have to obtain permission from local civic authorities besides permission from RWA or the association if this comes under them.

Unauthorised construction beyond the sanctioned plan is impressible.

If the approved layout plan/map will not be violated by your act of building roof, you may go ahead with this construction.

If there is a clause in the sale agreement that no additional construction can be made then you can not do the same.

In any view of the matter, permission has to be taken from the builder.

Some premises the said roofing is illegal. As they are open spaces in the building plan. You can erect foldable roofing for the same which can be folded if required.

1. Open Terrace is classified as compulsory open space and free of FSI and any encroachment, in any way, is a penal offence, under the MRTP Act and the local Municipal laws.

2. HOWEVER, due permission can be taken from the local Civic body and subsequently the terrace can be covered.
