As per notification by DDA, the Delhi Development Authority has eased the norms for installing lifts in its apartment blocks (Roy,2011).
DDA flat owners in denotified areas can approach municipal corporation for No objection certificate or permissions. Our team provides complete solution for lift installation in DDA/CGHS/GH flats.
