DDA Launches 1,200 Flats with Renovation Rules
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has launched over 1,200 flats in Delhi.
If you buy one, you can make some changes without asking for permission, like removing certain walls, upgrading flooring, and adding lofts.
You can also raise courtyard walls, install new doors, and increase balcony parapet height.
Additionally, you can add water tanks, EV charging points, and accessibility ramps.
However, you need permission for major structural changes or anything that disrupts common areas or exceeds specified limits.
Making unauthorized changes can lead to penalties or even legal trouble.
