Competent authority: determine it only after identifying the exact property, planning area, local body and development type.

Start with jurisdiction

Identify the planning area and local body first. The competent authority can change with location, development type, size, height and special conditions.

Three evidence levels

A seller statement is unverified. A document upload is submitted. Only a direct match to the issuing authority record is officially checked.

Do not combine approvals

Layout approval, building planning permission, building licence, RERA registration, completion records and CRZ clearance answer different questions. One does not replace another.
