Do I need the building or developer's NOC to run a holiday home?

Usually yes. Most DET applications require a No Objection Certificate from the building or community management confirming short-term letting is allowed. Some developers and owners' associations restrict or ban holiday-home use in their towers, so confirm before buying or listing. Without the building NOC (and, if you rent, the landlord's NOC), DET will not issue the permit.

Rules and eligibility criteria change — confirm the current position with the relevant authority before acting. This is general information, not legal advice.
