State PWD Schedule of Rates

Delhi's own PWD does not publish an independent Schedule of Rates. Delhi adopts CPWD's own "Delhi Schedule of Rates" (DSR) directly — a confusing name, since DSR is CPWD's (central government) name for its Delhi-region schedule, not a GNCTD state publication. In other words: there is no separate Delhi state document to look for here — CPWD's rates are Delhi's rates.

Building Control Rules — Official Document

Static reference link only. For a plain-language answer to a specific question, the Building Control Rules Q&A tool is coming next.

Includes the base 2016 rulebook plus two 2021 amendments, and applies across the whole NCT of Delhi — a direct structural parallel to TN's single TNCDBR link.

Authority Websites

DDA sets planning/master-plan policy for the whole NCT; MCD issues the actual building permit for most of the city outside NDMC and Cantonment areas.

Worth knowing before assuming Delhi RERA works exactly like other states' RERAs: it was originally constituted as an interim authority in 2016, with the DDA Vice-Chairman dual-hatted as its head — a structure that has reportedly changed hands more than once since. It's a genuine, official regulator, just not one that started out as a standalone dedicated body the way some other states' RERAs did.
