Check my plot with Panache

Planning aid only. FAR, ground coverage, height, floors and setbacks shown are typical values; real rules depend on plot size, road width, zone, corner position and the zoning plan, and they change with new notifications. Confirm with the authority, or use our building plan approval service. Costs are indicative.

How it works

Check your plot in five easy steps

1Pick the location
Choose HSVP / DTCP Haryana, Faridabad MCF, Gurugram, Delhi MCD, Noida, Ghaziabad or other.
2Enter the plot size
Pick a common size like 30×50 ft or set the exact width and depth.
3Review the rules
See typical coverage, FAR, height and setbacks, or override them with your zoning plan.
4See it in 3D
Setback zones, the buildable envelope and the stacked floors, with or without stilt parking.
5Get it approved

Good to know

How FAR, coverage and setbacks work together

Coverage decides the footprint, FAR the total

Ground coverage caps how much of the plot one floor may cover. FAR (or FSI) caps the total built area of all floors together. On a 150 sq m plot with 66% coverage and FAR 2.4, each floor can be up to about 99 sq m and the whole house about 360 sq m, so you need roughly four floors to use it all.

Setbacks often bite first

Front, rear and side setbacks are open spaces measured from the plot boundary. On narrow plots they can leave less room than the coverage allows. A 25 ft wide plot with a 3 m front and 2 m rear setback loses about 16 ft of depth before you start. Always draw the envelope first.

Rules differ by authority and plot

HSVP and DTCP plots in Haryana follow the Haryana Building Code and the sector zoning plan; Delhi follows the Unified Building Bye-Laws; Noida and Greater Noida have their own regulations. Corner plots, road width and allotment conditions change the numbers, so get the zoning plan for your plot checked.

Are the FAR and setback values in this tool official?

No. They are typical values for residential plotted development, matching our FAR calculator, and they change with plot size, road width, zone, corner position and new notifications. Haryana sector plots are often governed by a plot-specific zoning plan. Use the tool to plan, then confirm the figures with the authority or ask our approvals team to check your plot.

What is the difference between FAR and ground coverage?

Ground coverage is the share of the plot one floor may cover, for example 66%. FAR is total built-up area on all floors divided by plot area, for example 2.4. Coverage sets the footprint and FAR sets the total. Divide FAR by coverage to see how many floors you need, here about 3.6, rounded up to 4.

Does stilt parking count in FAR?

In most NCR authorities a stilt floor used only for parking is not counted in FAR, but it does count in the building height. That is why stilt plus four floors is common on Haryana and Delhi plots. Stilt height, use and enclosure rules are strict, and any rooms in the stilt usually count. Check the current bye-law for your authority.

Why can’t I use all my FAR in the 3D view?

The tool stacks floors only up to the floor and height limits. If coverage is small or setbacks eat into the plot, the floors allowed by height may not add up to the full FAR. The stats then show the unused FAR. Basements, mezzanines or a larger footprint can sometimes help, subject to the rules.

How do I find the exact setbacks for my plot?

For HSVP and DTCP plots, the zoning plan issued with the plot or available from the estate office shows exact setbacks and coverage. In Delhi and Noida they come from the bye-law tables for your plot size and road width. Our team can get the zoning plan, check it and give you a written feasibility before design starts.

Can Panache get my building plan approved?

Yes. We prepare sanction drawings with the area and FAR statement, check setbacks, height and parking, and handle online submission and follow-ups with HSVP, DTCP, MCF, MCG, MCD and the Noida authority. Send your plot details through the form below and we will tell you what is allowed and what documents you need.
