At Era Elevator, we take pride in being one of the most trusted companies for DDA Lift Installation in Delhi. Our team not only specializes in lift installation for DDA flats but also provides complete assistance in obtaining the NOC (No Objection Certificate) required for DDA lift installation from MCD and SDMC authorities. As per the latest announcement by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), allottees of DDA flats located in denotified areas are no longer required to approach DDA directly for lift installation permissions. Instead, they can now obtain approvals from the respective local bodies. In a recent press release, DDA has outlined a revised procedure for issuing NOCs for the installation of lifts in group housing flats developed by DDA. This new policy supersedes previous orders related to obtaining NOCs for lift installation in Group Housing Flats, SFS, and other DDA-built flats, making the process more streamlined and homeowner-friendly.
General
Lift NOC Procedure
To obtain an NOC for lift installation and connecting bridge, the application must be submitted by the proposing applicants after securing consent from at least 50% of the flat owners or legal representatives in the same staircase or block who will benefit from the lift installation in DDA flats. While the consent of ground floor residents is considered desirable, it is not mandatory for submitting the NOC request. Applicants are required to ensure that their application is complete in all respects, including all necessary documents, affidavits, and other prerequisites needed for the approval and installation of lifts in DDA flats.
Lift NOC Procedure
Whom ToApply
Allottees residing in colonies where services are managed either by the MCD or by the DDA are required to submit their applications to the SE (HQ), DDA of the respective zone. The CE (HQ) will issue the NOC (No Objection Certificate) after verifying all necessary documents. Once the NOC has been issued by the DDA, applicants must ensure that modified building drawings are approved by the local municipal authority—particularly in areas that have been de-notified—before beginning any installation work. This process ensures smooth and compliant lift installation in DDA flats as per the latest DDA regulations.
