How to get RAJUK Approval of Building Plans



If a developer company or an individual property owner wishes to construct a building in Dhaka city, permission from the concerned government authority is required to begin construction. In Dhaka city, RAJUK- Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha has the development authority of the capital and approves building design and plan before the start of a project. Although the approval process is a bureaucratic and lengthy process, here is a guideline for the RAJUK Plan approval procedure.

There are several steps to follow ( at least two and minimum of four steps to complete )

1. Land use clearance ( applicable for the unplanned area )

2. Special project permit for large or specialized projects ( if applicable )

3. Building permit ( mandatory )

4. Occupancy Certificate ( mandatory )

01. Land Use Clearance ( if applicable )

At first, a Town Planning Application ( Form 101 ) has to be filled and submitted for Land Use Clearance as per RAJUK Town Planning in different areas of Dhaka Metropolitan city.

The documents required for this clearance include:

After receiving Land Use Clearance ( if applicable ) and all the other Departmental Clearances ( for spacial project ) , another application (form 301) of RAJUK has to be submitted to concerned officer/ committee of RAJUK for approval along with the required fee.

The application requires the following data:

After satisfactory fulfilment of all the requirements, the committee members of RAJUK approves the drawing with detail number and reference and delivers the approval to the Developer Company or applicant.

04. Occupancy Certificate ( After completion of construction )

1. Building Completion Report

When you are buying an apartment :

When you buy an apartment in Dhaka, you should ensure that the apartment has RAJUK plan approval. However, plan approval is not enough to guarantee that the building has been constructed as per rules and regulations as some developer companies may construct properties violating the rules and regulations. So apart from checking RAJUK plan approval, you should also be aware of developer company’s ethics and ideology and reliability in the real estate sector to ensure your home is a safe haven.
