Faridabad Starts Offline Approval for Stilt Plus 4 Building Plans Amid Portal Issues
FARIDABAD | July 13, 2026
Property owners, architects and developers in Faridabad have received temporary relief after the Town Planning Department introduced an offline approval process for Stilt+4 building plans while the online approval portal remains affected by technical issues.
The decision is expected to help applicants whose building plan approvals have been delayed due to portal-related problems.
Offline Applications Allowed Until Portal Resumes
According to the department, applicants can now submit the required documents through the offline process until the online system becomes fully operational again.
The temporary arrangement aims to ensure that building approvals do not remain pending solely because of technical disruptions.
Hundreds of Applications Were Pending
Officials indicated that more than 250 building plan applications related to Stilt+4 structures were awaiting approval after technical issues impacted the online approval system.
The delay had affected:
- Property owners.
- Builders.
- Architects.
- Construction professionals.
Department Issues Formal Notification
The Town Planning Department has issued an official notification allowing offline submission of applications during the interim period.
Once the online portal resumes normal operations, the department is expected to continue processing approvals through the digital system.
Relief for Applicants
The temporary offline mechanism is expected to:
- Reduce approval delays.
- Allow pending applications to move forward.
- Help construction projects begin without unnecessary administrative hold-ups.
Applicants are advised to submit all required documents as prescribed by the department while using the offline process.
Why This Matters
Building plan approvals are an essential step before starting construction.
Temporary alternatives such as offline processing can help minimise project delays when online government services experience technical interruptions, ensuring that approval procedures continue until digital systems are restored.
