West Bengal PWD Schedule of Rates

A Public Works Department (Roads Wing) notification dated 7 July 2026 adopts the CPWD Delhi Schedule of Rates (DSR) for building works executed by West Bengal PWD, and the PWD (NH) Schedule of Rates for road and bridge works. It says the last comprehensive revision of the state schedule was in 2017–18 and that a separate state booklet will cover a few minor and maintenance items. Older state volumes (Building, Sanitary & Plumbing, Road & Bridge) are no longer the main reference for building works.

Building Control Rules: Official Document

The Kolkata Municipal Corporation Building Rules, 2009 govern construction inside Kolkata. An official copy hosted on a government site was not found at verification time, so no rulebook link is listed rather than pointing to a third-party copy.

KMC issues building permission inside Kolkata; the other bodies cover their own planning areas.
