After a YEIDA Plot Allotment: Payment, Lease Deed, Possession, Map Approval and Completion

Winning a plot in a YEIDA draw is the start of the process, not the end. Between the allotment letter and moving in there are several steps, each with a deadline, and missing one costs money, or in the worst case the plot. This guide walks through them in order, using YEIDA’s own brochure, lease-deed format and building regulations.

The timeline at a glance

Step 1: pay the premium

Under the RPS10/2026 brochure, the full premium is due within 60 days of the allotment letter. The CEO may allow up to 30 more days with interest at 13.5% a year; late payment otherwise leads to cancellation. YEIDA also publishes public notices with payment deadlines for specific schemes, so watch its website. Payments are made through YEIDA’s allottee portal, ccp.yamunaexpresswayauthority.com.

Step 2: the checklist and lease deed

When the plot is ready, YEIDA issues a checklist, and the lease deed must be executed within 90 days of it. The lease is for 90 years from the date of the lease deed, and the one-time lease rent (10% of the total plot cost) is paid before execution.

YEIDA’s published document list for lease-deed permission includes:

• a written request, passport photographs and specimen signatures attested by a gazetted officer or bank;
• a no-dues certificate: obtained by a written request with self-attested copies of all payment challans;
• an affidavit undertaking to pay any future dues;
• proof of payment of the lease rent; and
• a no-objection certificate from your bank if the plot is financed.

The lease deed is registered with the Sub-Registrar, and stamp duty, registration and all execution costs are paid by the allottee. YEIDA’s checklist asks that the stamp duty be calculated by the Sub-Registrar’s office. See our guide to stamp duty and registry in UP.

Step 3: possession

Under the RPS10/2026 brochure, possession is offered after development (about five years from the allotment letter), and the date on which the lease is approved is treated as the date of possession. You must execute the lease deed and take possession within 180 days of the offer. Before submitting building plans you will need the possession certificate, the lease deed and the dimension plan issued by the Authority.

Step 4: get the building plan approved

Since 1 August 2024, building-plan approval and completion in YEIDA are handled online only, on the BPMS portal. The process, as YEIDA describes it:

1. Log in with your allottee (CCP) credentials. The system checks that you have no dues with the finance and property departments.
2. Choose an architect registered with the Council of Architecture and with YEIDA; the architect accepts the request.
3. The architect uploads the drawing, which goes through an automated pre-check and rule check.
4. Once the drawing passes, pay the fee online (fees can only be paid through BPMS), and the application goes to an officer.

Fees and time limits (YEIDA Building Regulations, 2010)

• Building permit fee: ₹15 per sq m of covered area on all floors; debris charge ₹10 per sq m (plots up to 2,000 sq m). The Authority may revise these.
• If there is no decision within 60 days, the plan is deemed sanctioned: but only if you inform the CEO in writing within the next 20 days.
• Objections must be resolved within 60 days, or the plan is rejected and the fee forfeited.
• A sanctioned permit is valid for five years.
• Building without a permit attracts a compounding charge of ₹1,000 per sq m.

What you can build on a typical plot

Table 1 of the 2010 regulations sets these limits for individual residential plots:

Other rules in the same regulations: no sub-division; up to three dwelling units on plots of 100–500 sq m; stilt parking up to 2.4 m is not counted in FAR on plots of 112 sq m and above; and one basement, within the building footprint, for parking, services or storage. Setbacks in the sector’s zonal plan take priority over the table.

Check the current rules for your plot. The 2010 regulations are the version published on the BPMS portal, but YEIDA’s board decided in September 2025 to apply Airports Authority of India height restrictions within 20 km of the airport, with revised guidelines to follow. Your architect should confirm the limits that apply to your specific plot before drawing.

Step 5: completion and occupancy certificate

When the house is built, submit a completion notice with the required drawings, the completion fee (₹10 per sq m under the 2010 regulations), photographs and utility receipts. No one may occupy the building before the occupancy certificate is issued. If YEIDA has not acted within 90 days, the owner must send an intimation before occupying.

How much must be built to qualify differs between documents: the 2010 regulations set a minimum of 40 sq m or 50% of the permissible ground coverage, whichever is more, with a working kitchen and toilet, a boundary wall and a number plate; the recent lease-deed format requires 50% of the permissible FAR. Follow the terms in your lease deed.

If construction runs late

Under the recent lease-deed format, missing the three-year deadline brings time-extension charges of 4%, 5% and 6% of the premium in years one to three, and continued breach can lead to re-entry and forfeiture. Older schemes have their own rates. YEIDA has, at times, granted blanket extensions: a 2025 office order gave residential allottees whose construction period had expired before 31 December 2024 a free extension to 31 December 2025, subject to getting plans approved and starting construction within set periods. Do not plan on such relief being repeated.

Selling, or transferring to heirs

Transfer to anyone other than a legal heir needs the CEO’s prior written permission and payment of transfer charges. Transfer to legal heirs also needs written permission, but no transfer charge; YEIDA’s list of documents for this includes the death certificate, an indemnity bond, no-objection affidavits from family members, a family-member certificate from the SDM or Tehsildar and a newspaper notice.

Common questions

Please verify before you commit. Scheme terms, fees and building regulations change, and the terms in your own allotment letter and lease deed override anything summarised here. Check with YEIDA and your architect.
