1. Industrial Development Authority or Corporation
If the land is located within a government-developed industrial estate, the primary No Objection Certificate (NOC) must be obtained from the respective state industrial development authority, such as:
- MIDC (Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation)
- KIADB (Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board)
- SIPCOT (State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu)
- RIICO (Rajasthan State Industrial Development & Investment Corporation)
- TSIIC (Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation)
These bodies evaluate whether the land complies with allotment conditions and whether there are any dues or lease restrictions before issuing the NOC.
2. Local Municipal or Urban Development Authority
In cases where the industrial land falls under municipal limits or urban development zones, an NOC may also be required from:
- Municipal Corporation or Nagar Panchayat
- Urban Development Authority (e.g., DDA, HMDA, CMDA)
- Town Planning Department, confirming zoning and building rule compliance
This is especially relevant if the buyer plans to change land use, re-develop, or subdivide the property.
3. State Pollution Control Board (If Applicable)
If the industrial land was used for hazardous, chemical, or polluting activities, a No Objection Certificate from the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) may be required to confirm:
- Proper disposal or treatment of industrial waste
- Closure of operations as per environmental norms
- No contamination risk or pending environmental liabilities
This NOC ensures environmental compliance and avoids liability transfer to the buyer.
4. Financial Institutions or Banks (If Land Was Mortgaged)
If the industrial land is under any loan, mortgage, or lien, the seller must obtain an NOC from:
- The lending bank or NBFC holding the charge
- Ensuring that all dues are cleared
- Confirming that the institution has no objection to the transfer of title
This is critical to prevent legal encumbrances during registration.
5. Legal Heirs or Co-owners (If Joint Ownership Exists)
If the land is jointly owned or inherited, the seller may need to secure:
- NOC from all legal heirs or co-title holders
- Confirmation of mutual consent to sell
- Succession certificate or family settlement agreement, if applicable
This ensures that there are no future claims or disputes from family members or partners.
6. Department of Industries or Revenue Department (in Specific Cases)
In certain states or for leasehold industrial plots, additional NOCs may be required from:
- Department of Industries – confirming compliance with project implementation terms
- Revenue Department or Tehsildar – verifying mutation and land classification
- Land Ceiling or Conversion Authorities – if sale is linked to a change of land use
These agencies confirm that the land is legally and procedurally eligible for sale.
