What is meaning of IOD in redevelopment?
IOD (meaning Intimation of Disapproval) is an essential
permission given to the developer by the municipal authorities to
re-develop an old building. The developer however cannot demolish
the old building just on the basis of IOD alone.
After redevelopment plans are submitted to the Building Proposal
Department of BMC, an IOD is issued, and under the terms and
conditions of the IOD, the developer is asked to comply with many
requirements and obtain various clearances like clearance from
Environment Authorities, Tree Authorities, Fire Officer etc. After
these clearances are obtained, the developer is entitled to obtain
a Commencement Certificate (CC).
The demolition can commence legally only after obtaining CC.
