This query is : Resolved
Hello Sir/ Madam,
We have recently purchased 2BHK flat with our savings.
While we purchased we were advised we can extend our dey balcony, since OC has passed.
When we started our civil work society took objection on same and are now asking us to take written permission from BMC
Hence pls advise on below points:
1) Now since its OC is passed do we really need any further permission to extend our balcony
2) If so then what is the furthe procedure!
Pls help since our flat is on 2nd floor and it has lots of RCC beam in the flats due to which it has become impossible for us to make any proper furniture
And this flat which is 2BHK is 480 sqft excluding dry balcony, which is too small.
Pls help!
Regards,
Neha Shah

We were advised by the owner of the flat who sold us the flat.

Any addition / alteration in structure apart from sanctioned plan is illegal and need BMC clearance / approval of the other departments required.

But for a common man like us...it's assumed since OC is passed we are allowed to extend our dry balcony!
Since extension will not change the structure of the Bldng
Further this flat with whom we have purchased he himself is advocate of high court!
