1. Introduction
1.1. Objectives of the Project
Chhattisgarh is the 26th state of India formed on 1 November 2000, located
in the centre-east of the country. It is the tenth-largest state in India, with an area of
135,198.5 km2 (52,200.4 sq mi). With a population of 25.5 million, Chhattisgarh is the 17th-most
populated state in the country. Chhattisgarh is the progressive States in India and its people are
quite proactive in keeping themselves abreast of the changing global landscape. With rapid
urbanization & growing needs of the citizens for better service delivery, better civic amenities,
better living standards etc., the activities of the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) have multiplied
manifolds. With rapid urbanization and economic development, citizens of Chhattisgarh expect
significant improvement in service delivery from the Urban Local Bodies to meet their needs.
State Urban Development Agency (SUDA) is the state nodal agency for state
and central sponsored schemes for urban development schemes in state of Chhattisgarh. SUDA
realizes that citizens spend a lot of time in availing services that may require multiple visits to ULB
offices and hence may not bring a high level of satisfaction.
SUDA in consultation with all the stakeholders has embarked on ambitious
plans to deliver end-to- end services to its stakeholders in a user-centric way. This is expected to
bring about high levels of accountability and transparency in its service delivery supported by a
high degree of efficiency and effectiveness in the internal operations of the department.
Currently in the 10 municipal corporations in the State of Chhattisgarh
automated online building permission system is operational. However the software was developed
a while ago and needs up-gradation. For the remaining ULB’s of the State; currently there is manual
mode of granting building permissions; which needs to be automated.
SUDA wants to deploy the most advanced & latest system for Automated
Online Building Permission System in all 168 ULB’s based on Auto-DCR or equivalent latest
technology.

drawing (site plan) on the CAD software in .dwg format. Documents should be uploaded
online and submitted for the scrutiny. The file movement should be well defined. Every
application submitted for approval to the department should have a Unique ID which should
be generated automatically through the system.
2 Should use colour coding for identification of various elements of the drawing
3 Should perform automated building scrutiny on CAD drawings and also implement building
plan approval process as an integrated system.
4 Auto generation of FAR, area statement and schedule of opening by reading preformatted
CAD drawings.
5 Auto-generation of plot area & plot area calculation for cross verification with system entered
value by triangulation
6 Should enable auto hatching of particular objects as per development control rules.
7 Should enable auto detection of side margins and verification of coverage area.
8 Should enable auto-generation of failed entity report and marking the same on the drawing.

based on the Development Control Rules described by the respective Authority. Generated
report shows the Failed/Passed Items with their rules in a very user friendly
Viewable/Printable format. Reports can also be generated in local regional language.
Customization of Reports can be made using user defined templates. Software reads the
building entities from drawings, geometrically map each & every entity by corresponding
with complex & interlinked rules. After scanning and saving the drawing, scrutiny reports are
generated where all failed and passed rules are displayed with required/permissible values
with proposed values so that architect can easily correct them.
15 Should enable assessment of floor space index violation.
16 The system must provide for proper user authentication and access control mechanisms so as
to ensure that only authorized users can access relevant information.
