Role you're checking

Town Planner

Government & Public Service

Town Planners in India are the regulatory backbone of city-building — scrutinising subdivision layouts and building permit applications against Development Control Regulations (DCR), enforcing master plan land-use zones, and processing occupancy certificates. While an urban planner conceptualises long-range master plans and regional strategies, the town planner lives in the permit window: calculating FSI, checking setbacks, signing layout sanction orders, and issuing or withholding OC/CC based on AS-BUILT drawings. The two main employment streams are State Town and Country Planning (T&CP) cadres recruited via PSCs (Maharashtra's MPSC, Karnataka's KPSC, UP's UPPSC etc.) and the planning departments of municipal corporations — BMC (Mumbai), MCD/NDMC (Delhi), BBMP (Bangalore), MCGM, and others. The Town and Country Planning Organisation (TCPO) under MoHUA provides central-level guidance and AMRUT/Smart Cities project supervision. Entry requires a 2-year M.Plan degree; ITPI membership is the professional credential.
