Pune City (PMC) Masterplan

The PMC Development Plan 2007-2027 is the operative land-use document for PMC's old city limits of 147.85 sq km, divided into six sectors, prepared under the MRTP Act, 1966. A separate DP process covers the 11 merged villages added to PMC limits from 1997 onwards.

Yes, a DP reservation means the land is earmarked for a public purpose under the MRTP Act, 1966. No private construction is permitted on a reserved plot until PMC acquires it or the owner secures an accommodation reservation, which involves surrendering part of the land to PMC in exchange for FSI compensation.

No, a BDP No Development Zone classification under the PMC DP prohibits private construction. Buyers should demand the exact zone code for their survey number before signing any agreement; brokers frequently describe BDP-zone land as residential without disclosing the sub-classification.

The basic FSI for a residential plot under UDCPR in PMC limits is 1.10 on the net plot area. Total potential rises with road width: plots on roads of 9 meters or more can access premium FSI and TDR loading, reaching a maximum building potential of up to 2.50 FSI on 30-meter roads.

TDR (Transferable Development Rights) allows a buyer to load additional FSI onto a plot by purchasing rights from owners whose land was surrendered for DP roads or reservations. Under UDCPR, TDR loading in PMC area can add up to 1.4 FSI on the gross plot, significantly increasing total building potential and land value.

Check the 7/12 extract, property card (City Survey), encumbrance certificate, PMC tax receipt, approved layout plan, and the DP zone and reservation status for the survey number. Since February 2026, a tentative layout approval from PMC is mandatory before any land measurement can proceed under Maharashtra law.

PMC publishes sector-wise DP maps on its official website (pmc.gov.in) under the Building Development section. For merged village areas, the operative DP may still be under preparation; confirm the current planning authority status with the PMC Town Planning Department before relying on any broker-supplied zone classification.

Yes, if the survey number shows a clean residential or commercial zone with no active DP reservation, a clear property card, and a valid NA (non-agricultural) status. Plots in the 11 merged villages where the DP was not published within the stipulated period carry additional uncertainty and require direct confirmation from the PMC Town Planning Department.
