What types of building approvals does Palani Planners assist with?
We assist with residential houses, commercial buildings, institutional layouts, and subdivision approvals across the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC), CMDA, and DTCP jurisdiction limits.
Can you guarantee that my building plan will receive approval?
No ethical engineering consultancy can guarantee a government sanction. Approvals depend exclusively on your property's legal title, road width, setback adherence, FSI norms, and statutory inspections by the competent authorities. We ensure your application is technically robust to prevent avoidable rejections.
What documents do I need to begin building plan sanction?
Key preliminary documents include your registered Sale Deed, Revenue Patta in your name, Encumbrance Certificate (EC), Field Measurement Book (FMB) sketch or TSLR copy, and property tax receipts.
How does the plot enquiry process work?
When you enquire about a plot, we share verified layout details, location coordinates, and legal documentation status. We also advise scheduling an in-person site inspection and conducting independent legal verification.
What are the requirements to become a work-from-home insurance agent?
Candidates should possess good communication skills in Tamil and/or English, a basic educational background (minimum 10th or 12th standard pass), and an interest in helping families plan their financial protection. Full product training is provided.
