Commencement of Building Construction

 

101.5. A building for which an application for a grant is to be made is not to be commenced until the plans (including the site plan) and estimates have been approved in writing, by the authorities of the Education, the public health and the public works and housing departments.   

 

Agency for the Construction of Building

 

101.6. The construction by a private agency shall be permitted up to any amount subject to the conditions that:

 

(a) No deviations in the sanctioned plans are made without the previous permission, in writing, of the competent authority of the public works and housing department; and

 

(b) The authorities of the public works and housing departments who approve the plans are satisfied as to the competency of the private agency by which the work is to be carried out.

 

Production of a valuation certificate

 

101.7. A grant shall not be paid unless the executive engineer concerned certifies that the work for which it is claimed is accordance with the approved plans, is in good condition, and is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, of a certain value. The amount of grant actually to be given depends on the value of the building as estimated by him, as laid down in Rule 101.2 above.

 

Grants for Sites

101.9. In addition to building grants as aforesaid, Government will  consider applications for grant-in-aid for building hostels, laboratories, libraries, observatories, school, workshops, or gymnasia or for providing play-grounds provided that funds are available, and subject to such of the foregoing conditions as may be declared applicable by the department, or to any other that may be imposed. Grants made under this rule are exceptional and government are not pledged to give any fixed proportion but will deal with each case on its merits and subject to financial considerations.
