Now, pay more to get NOC from Punjab Fire Dept
Chandigarh, July 14
Getting a fire NOC has become costlier in the state. To mop up resources, the Local Government Department on Tuesday issued a uniform fee structure to get fire NOCs for residential, commercial and industrial units and charges levied to attend a fire call.
Those getting a fire damage report will also have to pay a fee. Those seeking NOC for multiplexes, petrol pumps, high-rise building of 15 metres and above, residential colonies, industrial units, marriage palaces and hotels with three-star rating and above will now have to pay Rs 20,000.
Similarly, those seeking NOCs for group housing projects with height less than 15 metres and business establishments on an area above 5 marlas will have to pay Rs 10,000. For smaller plots, the NOC fee has been fixed at Rs 5,000. For private schools and colleges, the fee varies between Rs 10,000 and Rs 5,000, depending on student strength. — TNS
