Fire NOC Document Readiness Checklist
Mark each document a fire NOC file commonly needs as available, missing or not applicable, and get the missing list to work from. The tool does not decide whether a fire NOC applies to your building — that is the authority's call, and the page links to its official site.
What this tool estimates
How many of the commonly requested fire NOC documents and particulars you hold, which are missing and which you have marked not applicable — with the missing items listed and the official page of the authority to confirm with.
What it cannot decide
- Whether a fire NOC applies to the building: no verified, reviewed rule set is held for any state, so applicability is not assessed.
- Whether the building or its fire scheme complies, whether an application will be approved, or how long it will take.
- What your authority's current list contains — the items here are generic; confirm them with the authority.
- Whether a document you hold is correct, current or matches the building.
Result
Applicability not assessed.

Counts, not a score: nothing here says a file is complete enough to be approved, and no item list here is any authority's own. What would change the list — the authority's current checklist, the stage of the application and what is changing in the building — is covered in the method below.

Where to confirm: official fire NOC pages
Each page below was opened and checked on 6 Oct 2026. Portals move — if a link stops working, start from the authority's home page. For a site outside these states, the National Single Window System's Know Your Approvals questionnaire identifies the approvals a business needs; confirm each with the issuing authority.
| State | Authority | Official page |
|---|---|---|
| Punjab | Fire Services, Department of Local Government, Punjab The department's page sends applicants to firenoc.lgpunjab.gov.in, and Batala applicants to mSeva. | Apply Fire NOC Online — Department of Local Government, Punjab |
| Haryana | Department of Urban Local Bodies, Haryana (fire service) The department's online services (online.ulbharyana.gov.in) carry the login for fire applications. | Fire Acts and Rules — Department of Urban Local Bodies, Haryana |
| Delhi | Delhi Fire Service, Government of NCT of Delhi | Delhi Fire Service |
| Uttar Pradesh | Uttar Pradesh Fire and Emergency Services The portal says industrial applications are made through the Nivesh Mitra portal. | Uttar Pradesh Fire and Emergency Services portal |
| Himachal Pradesh | Department of Fire Services, Himachal Pradesh Its NOC page publishes a checklist for NOC and the procedure. | Department of Fire Services, Himachal Pradesh |
| Uttarakhand | Uttarakhand Fire and Emergency Services Lists the pre-establishment and pre-operational fire NOC and the annual clearance certificate. | Fire services on Invest Uttarakhand (single window) |
| Rajasthan | Department of Local Self Government, Rajasthan | Fire NOC on LSG Online |
| Chandigarh | Municipal Corporation Chandigarh | Fire safety — Municipal Corporation Chandigarh |
The generic items come from three official sources, none of which is a list for every state: the Himachal Pradesh Department of Fire Services' Check List for NOC, the Rajasthan Fire NOC citizen manual on RajNivesh and the Delhi Fire Service FAQs. The guide behind this tool, fire NOC planning for new and renovated buildings, covers the process around the paperwork.
How this calculator works — and where it stops
What it calculates
A record of your fire NOC paperwork: which commonly requested documents and particulars you hold, which are missing and which you have marked not applicable — counted, with the missing items listed. It does not assess whether a fire NOC applies to the building, and it never says a file is complete enough to be approved.
Inputs
- State and authority — eight North Indian jurisdictions, each with its official fire NOC page, or another state or union territory.
- Occupancy, height, built-up area and the proposed change (new building, extension, change of use, internal alteration or renewal) — recorded with the checklist for your engineer.
- A status for each of 15 generic items: available, missing or not applicable — or left unmarked.
- Optional extra items copied from your authority's own current list.
Method
- Applicability is evaluated only from a versioned rule set for the chosen jurisdiction that names its official source, the provision relied on, its effective date and the person who reviewed it. None is held, so every jurisdiction reports: Applicability not assessed — confirm with the authority.
- The items marked available, missing and not applicable, and those left unmarked, are counted; the missing ones are listed.
- Applicable items = available + missing. Nothing is weighted, scored or turned into a percentage, and no likelihood of approval is estimated.
Assumptions
- The checklist is generic. Each item appears on at least one of the official checklists, manuals or FAQs below — not on every authority's list. 'Commonly requested' means exactly that.
- The statuses are your own judgement of what you hold; the tool does not read or check any document.
Limitations
- Does not say whether a fire NOC applies, whether the building complies, whether an application will succeed or how long it will take — the authority decides all four.
- Is not any authority's checklist: lists differ by state, by local body, by building type and by stage, and they change. Add the authority's own items as extra rows.
- Does not check what a document says — a sanctioned plan that no longer matches the building still counts as available here.
Worked example
Produced by running this calculator with the inputs below.
Inputs
- Punjab — Fire Services, Department of Local Government
- Industrial occupancy, 12 m high, 3,000 m² built-up, extension
- Available: identity proof, ownership document, building particulars
- Missing: fire-safety drawings, design calculations
- The other 10 items left unmarked
Working
- Applicability: no reviewed rule set is held for Punjab, so it is not assessed — confirm with Fire Services, Department of Local Government, Punjab.
- Counts: 3 available, 2 missing, 0 not applicable, 10 not marked yet.
- Applicable items = 3 + 2 = 5. Missing list: fire-safety drawings; design calculations.
Result. 3 available and 2 missing out of 5 applicable items, with 10 still to mark — and no statement about applicability, compliance or approval.
Sensitivity — what moves the answer
- The authority changes the list more than anything else. Add its own items as extra rows; each one marked missing joins the missing list.
- Marking an item not applicable removes it from the applicable count — check that call against the authority's list, not this one.
- The occupancy, height, area and proposed change do not change the counts: they are recorded for the engineer, because which documents a change triggers is the authority's decision.
How engineers use the result
To start a fire NOC conversation from a gap list rather than a blank page: the engineer checks the missing items against the authority's current requirements and the building's actual fire scheme, and plans the drawings and records still to be prepared.
When a professional design must replace it
Before filing: confirm the authority's current checklist and the stage of your application on its official page or at its office, and have a fire engineer check the drawings and particulars against the building as it stands.

Questions people ask before using it
What do I need before using this checklist?
The state and the authority your application goes to; the building's occupancy, height and built-up area; what is changing — a new building, an extension, a change of use, internal work or a renewal; and the papers you already hold, such as the ownership document, sanctioned building plans, fire-safety drawings and any earlier fire NOC. Each item is then marked available, missing or not applicable.
Which building or site conditions could change the documents needed?
The authority first: lists differ by state and sometimes by local body, and they change. Then the stage — before construction, after it, or a renewal (authorities name these stages differently); what is changing in the building; its occupancy and height; whether flammable or hazardous materials are stored or used; and whether fire systems are already installed for an inspection to check.
What should I send an engineer for a project-specific review?
The authority's current checklist if you have it, the sanctioned building plans, any existing fire NOC and fire-safety drawings, a description and drawings of the proposed change, photographs of the installed systems, and the CSV or JSON saved from this page.
