Issued by: Brihanmumbai Mahanagarpalika Development Plan Department | 20 March 2026
Background
This circular is issued by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) Development Planning Department to update the fee schedule for issuing vital urban planning documents for the financial year 2026-2027. Development Plan (DP) and Town Planning (TP) remarks are mandatory preliminary requirements for initiating any Mumbai Redevelopment project or obtaining Building Proposal approvals, as they dictate the permissible zoning, reservations, and road setbacks applicable to a specific plot.
Continuing its policy of annual fiscal adjustments, the BMC has applied a standard escalation to the existing fees. The circular specifies that calculated fees exceeding ?500 are rounded to the next ?10, while standardizing rates for both traditional offline physical copies and the newer online automated generation systems.
The above rates are to be made effective from 01-04-2026 to 31-03-2027.
Chief Engineer DP | 01 February 2001
Key Highlights
Standardized Fee Hike: Implements an annual escalation across all DP/TP remarks and planning documentation.
Rounding Formula Applied: Amounts above 500 are rounded to the next 10 multiplier for simplified accounting.
Online Systems Incentivized: Clearly distinguishes fees for online generation of DP remarks versus traditional offline physical plotting.
TDR/DRC Revalidation Included: Updates the lump-sum fee required to revalidate the Letter of Intent (LOI) for obtaining Development Rights Certificates (DRC).
Statutory Notice Forms Updated: Revises the purchasing cost for physical forms required under Section 337/342 of the MMC Act and Section 44/69 of the MR&TP Act.

1. Development Plan (DP) Remarks DP remarks verify the land-use zone, road widening lines, and reservations assigned to a property under DCPR 2034. For FY 2026-27, the BMC has increased the base online generation cost for DP remarks to 4,770 (plus applicable taxes). For offline plotting, the rates are heavily dictated by paper size, scaling steeply from 4,770 for smaller sizes up to 14,910 for massive A0 sized blueprints.
2. Town Planning (TP) Remarks For specific town planning schemes, architects request TP remarks. A traditional offline set containing a letter, plan, and Form-B will now cost 1,740 per Final Plot (FP). Combined online generation for both DP and TP remarks will cost 6,460. (Note: A handwritten breakdown of this ?6,460 fee in the scanned document is partially illegible, but contextually indicates the subtraction of DP fees from the total to derive the pure TP remark cost).
3. DRC and LOI Revalidation Development Rights Certificates (DRC) are crucial for trading Transferable Development Rights (TDR) generated from plot reservations. Revalidating the Letter of Intent (LOI) to obtain these rights now requires a flat lump-sum fee of 14,910, up from the previous 13,550.
4. Statutory Notice Forms To officially notify the BMC of construction intentions under Section 337/342 of the MMC Act or Section 44/69 of the MR&TP Act, physical forms are required. The cost for these specific administrative notices has increased to 179 plus taxes.
The revised fees are applicable from 01 April 2026 to 31 March 2027.
