Plot Subdivision Charges in Akola – Full Breakdown with Example

In Akola, many plot owners purchase part of a larger property thinking they can apply for building permission directly. However, unless the plot is officially subdivided and registered with the Municipal Corporation, your file can get stuck during approval.

What is Plot Subdivision?

Plot subdivision means legally dividing one large plot into smaller ones through a municipal process. Without this, your part of the plot has no independent identity on record. The Akola Municipal Corporation requires a subdivision layout and order before issuing any new construction permissions.

Charges Involved in Subdivision

Below is a realistic cost structure based on actual cases handled by engineers in Akola:

  • Engineer Fees (File Preparation & Submission): ₹5,000 to ₹10,000
  • Scrutiny Charges (Paid Online): ₹2,000 to ₹3,000
  • Final Approval Charges (Online): ₹1 to ₹3 per sq.ft. (on total plot area)

Example Case: 2000 sq.ft. Plot Divided into Two

An owner wants to divide a 2000 sq.ft. plot into two parts of 1000 sq.ft. each. Here's the estimate:

  • Engineer charges: ₹7,000
  • Scrutiny charges: ₹3,000
  • Final approval: ₹2/sq.ft × 2000 = ₹4,000

Total Approximate Cost: ₹14,000

Important Notes

  • Subdivision must be done before applying for construction permission.
  • Charges are calculated on the entire original plot area.
  • Both scrutiny and final approval fees are paid online using the same registered engineer login.
  • If there are multiple owners, you will need documents from all parties.

Final Advice

Before purchasing or building on a shared plot, always discuss subdivision with your engineer first. Ignoring this step can delay or block your construction plans later. To know more read this: Pending Plot Subdivision Case
