What is GHMC GIS ID?
The GHMC GIS ID is a unique identifier assigned to each building/property in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation database. It follows the format:
G-{ZONE}-{WARD}-{PROPERTY}Example: G-042-23-00429
This ID links the building to GHMC's property tax records, building approvals, and other municipal services.

Frequently Asked Questions
GHMC building plan approval requires submitting architectural drawings, structural plans, and ownership documents through the Telangana State Building Permission Approval and Self-Certification System (TS-bPASS). Applications are processed within 21 days for plots up to 600 sq.m under self-certification, while larger projects require detailed scrutiny by GHMC Town Planning wing.
HMDA (Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority) regulates building construction across the Hyderabad Metropolitan Region under the HMDA Act 2008. Key regulations include setback requirements, Floor Area Ratio (FAR) limits based on road width, mandatory parking provisions, and rainwater harvesting. All constructions within HMDA limits require either GHMC or respective municipal body approval.
BPS (Building Permission System) number is the unique reference number assigned when a building plan is submitted for approval through TS-bPASS or the old GHMC building permission system. This number is used to track the approval status, download the sanctioned plan, and verify if a building has valid construction permission from GHMC.
You can verify building approval status through TS-bPASS portal (tsbpass.cgg.gov.in) using the BPS number, or check GHMC's GIS database for building footprints. Our Hyderabad Building Check tool shows whether a building exists in GHMC's official GIS records including zone, ward, property tax bill number, and usage classification.
An Occupancy Certificate (OC) is issued by GHMC or the respective municipal body after verifying that a building has been constructed as per the sanctioned plan. Under Telangana Municipal Acts, occupying a building without OC is illegal and can attract penalties. OC is mandatory for obtaining permanent electricity, water connections, and property tax assessment.
Unauthorized construction in GHMC limits attracts penalties under the Telangana Municipalities Act 2019 including demolition orders, fines up to 25% of the market value, and criminal prosecution. HYDRA (Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Monitoring and Protection Agency) actively demolishes illegal structures on water bodies, nalas, and government land.
GHMC (Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation) grants building permissions within its 625 sq.km jurisdiction covering Hyderabad city. DTCP (Directorate of Town and Country Planning) approves layouts and buildings in areas outside GHMC but within HMDA limits. Both now use the TS-bPASS online system for processing applications.
Building height in Hyderabad depends on road width and plot size as per GHMC Building Rules. Generally, buildings up to 15m (G+4) are allowed on 12m roads, while taller structures require wider roads and fire NOC. Areas near airports (Begumpet, Shamshabad) have height restrictions from AAI. Buildings above 18m require fire safety clearance from Telangana Fire Services.
