@author, if the property is situated in Urban Development Authority, the layout plan will be approved the UDA of your area. other wise the concerned MC or GP will approve. you have to enclose the copy of document, proposed plan etc to the concerned authority for approval of plan.

Discuss with local lawyer. However, you may refer to news item appearing in Indian Express:

You may consult local architects or engineers dealing with plan approval with local bodies for right advise.

The Department of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj has issued a circular on December 28, restricting gram panchayats across the state from approving or sanctioning building/layout plans for Deputy Commissioner (DC) converted lands.The circular notifies that GPs across the state do not have any legal authority to sanction building plans/alteration in the panchayat limits.
It also clearly mandates all buildings should be approved by BDA, BMRDA BMICAPA, BIAPPA, or any other town municipal authority governing the area.
Many land owners and builders were not converting the lands, but getting approval from the panchayats and running the show.
This circular comes following the High Court’s direction to check the illegal sanction of lands and building plans.
