How to get building permit in Kerala?

I really appreciate the initiative of the author for giving basic details which leads to obtaining the required permissions from the sanctioning authorities. But normally I feel that the town planning officer of the particular region plays the major role here. He has the list of government properties, lands and also rules and regulations regarding deviations and permissions. But normally he wont reveal to the beneficiary and waits till the building is constructed fully. After that he tries to scuttle the progress of occupying the premises by giving show cause notice for the violations. In that case the owner as no other go but to shell down handsome amount as bribe to the town planning officer and thus this kind of corruption exists in all the states. Is Arvind Kejriwal listening ?

Thank you for your valuable response.

Yes, Town planning officer often playing here. But consulting an engineer before starting work may avoid future such problems.

Is there any provision to issue permit for the building of which the validity of the permit lapsed more than 15 years. The property is now under another person. Is it possible to get a new permit or the renewal of permit.

Could you please clarify;
1.In case if the plot is sold, is it possible to transfer existing building permit to new buyer?

2. If the plot is classified as "Nilam Nikathiya Shalam", in the documents, would it be possible to get building permit for making a house on that plot?
