The rule: Building Plan Sanction & Commencement Certificate
Sanction of building plan from the planning authority is required before any factory/shed construction. For a Kolhapur weaving unit this is KMC (within city limits) or Pune ZP/Nagar Parishad equivalent (rural / Ichalkaranji). Followed by Commencement Certificate before construction begins and Occupancy Certificate before the unit can be operated.
