portion in such a way that roof top water falls on the splash pad.
f) Brick masonry wall is to be constructed on the exposed surface of pits/trenches
and the cement mortar plastered. The depth of wall below ground shall be such
that the wall prevents lose soil entering into pits/ trenches. The projection of
the wall above ground shall at least be 15 cm.
g) Perforated concrete slabs shall be provided on the pits/trenches.
h) If the open space surrounding the building is not paved, the top layer up to a
sufficient depth shall be removed and refilled with coarse sand to allow
percolation of rain water into ground.
v) The terrace shall be connected to the open well/bore-well/storage tank/ recharge pit/trench

Proper signage:
Appropriate identification of specific facilities within a building for the differently abled persons
should be done with proper signals. Visually impaired persons make use of other senses such as
hearing and touch to compensate for the lack of vision, whereas visual signals benefit those with
hearing disabilities.
Signs should be designed and located so that they are easily legible by using suitable letter size (not
less than 20 mm high). For visually impaired persons, information board in brail should be installed
on the wall at a suitable height and it should be possible to approach them closely. To ensure safe
walking, there should not be any protruding sign which creates obstruction in walking. Public Address
System may also be provided in busy public areas.
The symbols/information should be in contrasting colour and properly illuminated because people
with limited vision may be able to differentiate amongst primary colours. International Symbol
Mark for wheel chair be installed in a lift, toilet, staircase, parking areas, etc., that have been
provided for the differently abled.

[Building + Tower(s)] shall have to be obtained from any of the recognized Government Institutes.
(j) While according permission for installation of TCS/BS, permissible for erection of a cabin at ground
level may be granted. However, the same shall not be allowed in the prescribed marginal distances.
The area of such cabin shall not be more than 20 sq. mt. for each TSP/IP, subject to the certificate of
structural safety. Built-up area of such cabin(s) shall not be counted towards built-up area or FSI.
(k) No permission for installation of TCS/BS shall be granted on buildings which are unauthorized and
structurally unsafe. If permission for installation of such structures is granted on a building, which is
declared as unauthorized at a later point of time, the Metropolitan Commissioner shall first take
recourse to the provisions of sections 52, 53, 54 and 55 of the Maharashtra Regional and Town
Planning Act, 1966 or other relevant laws, as the case may be, against such unauthorized building and
in case the Metropolitan Commissioner, after completing the due process of law, decides to undertake
any action of demolition against such unauthorised building then such decision shall also be conveyed
to the concerned TSP/IP with a direction to relocate the TCS/BS within a period of 90 days, after
which the Metropolitan Commissioner shall not be under any obligation to send any further intimation
to the TSP/IP concerned before demolishing such unauthorised building, and it shall not be liable to
pay compensation for the loss of the Base Station as a consequence of the demolition of the
unauthorised building. The TSP/IP shall indemnify the Metropolitan Commissioner to this effect,
while seeking permission for installation of TCS/BS.
(l) Permission for installation of TCS/BS, once granted shall remain valid for next 5 years. The TSP/IP
shall apply for renewal of permission to the Metropolitan Commissioner. The Metropolitan
Commissioner, while considering renewal, shall insist upon submission of fresh structural stability
certificate for buildings more than 30 years of age. Administrative fee shall be levied and collected as
prescribed in Regulation no.36.4 (b) hereinabove, for every such renewal. If TSP/IP fails to apply
for renewal alongwith all necessary documents before the expiry of earlier permission, then such
TSP/IP shall be liable for action under the provisions of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning
Act, 1966.
(m) In case of any existing TCS/BS on a slum structure, every effort shall be made to relocate such

220
 2158

TCS/BS on a nearby suitable public building or any other authorised structure or open land in the
slum. If such relocation is not possible, then such TCS/BS may be allowed to be continued on such
slum structure subject to its structural suitability, till the TCS/BS is shifted to any other authorised
structure or till the redevelopment of the slum, whichever is earlier.

(n) While granting permission for TCS/BS, the Metropolitan Commissioner shall stipulate that TSP/IP
shall conduct regular audit in accordance with the directions/guidelines issued by TERM Cell or DoT
from time to time.
1.7 Electro-Magnetic Field (EMF) Radiation Norms
(a) Prior to installation of TCS/BS, the TSP/IP shall have to obtain Site clearance from the Standing
Advisory Committee on Frequency Allocation (SACFA) of the Department of Telecommunication
(DoT) for every site from the point of view of interference with other wireless users, aviation hazards
and obstruction to any other existing microwave links.
(b) The Electro-Magnetic Field (EMF) radiation from BTS towers shall be subject to the regulations
framed by the DoT from time to time. The TSP/IP shall periodically conduct audit and monitor EMF
radiation in Urban localities, hospitals and educational/industrial /residential / recreational premises,
especially around the Protected Areas (PAs) and ecologically sensitive areas, in accordance with the
guidelines issued by DoT in this regard. It shall be binding on TSP/ IP to follow the mechanism
prescribed by the DoT/TERM Cell at local level for ensuring control on the EMF radiation and for
notifying on continual basis the radiation level at critical location. For all the existing as well as new
BTSs/Towers, TSPs are required to submit self-certificates periodically in the format prescribed by
TEC, DoT, in order to ensure that normally all general public areas around the TCS/BS site are within
the safe EMR exposure limits. Audit of the self-certification furnished by the TSPs shall be done by
the TERM Cell periodically. TERM Cell shall carry out test audit of the BTS sites on random basis as
per the guidelines received from DoT and also in respect of al1 cases where there is a public complaint.
The TERM Cell shall have due regard to the instructions issued by DoT regarding technical audit of
TCS/BS, including radiation of towers within safe limits. These shall include Roof Top/Ground
Based./Pole Mounted/Wall Mounted Towers. The TERM Cell shall also verify antenna orientation,
safe distance from the Tower (exclusion zone) etc. For non-compliance of EMF standards, Telecom
Service Provider shall be liable for penal action by the TERM Cell and/or Department of
Telecommunication (DoT). Any violation noticed may attract heavy penalties on TSPs and may also
lead to shut down of TCS/ BS, in case the violation persists.
1.8 Miscellaneous Provisions
(a) Any complaint concerning illegal installation of TCS/BS on any building or any query of any nature
regarding the installation of telecommunication equipment, shall be addressed to the Metropolitan
Commissioner which shall intimate the concerned TSP/IP about the same with a direction to
resolve the issue under intimation to the Metropolitan Commissioner, within such period as may be
prescribed by the Metropolitan Commissioner.
(b) The TSP/IP, who has erected TCS/BS without due permission, shall apply to the concerned
Metropolitan Commissioner for regularization within 180 days from the date of coming into force of
this Regulation. In case such application is made within the prescribed period, then the offence, if any,
registered against the TSP/IP may be compounded by the Metropolitan Commissioner under section
143 of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966, subject to the provisions of these
regulations.

one year from the date of commencement of this Regulation, unless the same is specifically regularized
by the Metropolitan Commissioner following due compliance by TSP/IP. However, operation of such
non-conforming Telecommunication Cell Site/Base station shall be discontinued within a period of 30
days from the date of receipt of notice from the Metropolitan Commissioner to that effect, which shall
however be issued only after obtaining the consent of the TERM Cell of DoT.
(e) The Licensees shall try to share the tower for fixing their respective antennae provided the prescribed
conditions are duty fulfilled, so as to ensure curtailing of multiple towers and optimizing the use of
the existing ones.
