Quick answer

In Mumbai the fire NOC is issued by the Chief Fire Officer of the Mumbai Fire Brigade, MCGM's fire department, under the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006; a plot inside an MIDC industrial area goes to MIDC's own fire service instead.

For a new building your architect applies through the Common Application Form on MCGM's autoDCR single window, where the Right to Service limit is 7 working days for the building NOC and 15 for the occupation NOC. A shop, eatery or clinic gets its own trade NOC under section 394 of the MMC Act on the MCGM portal, a 10-working-day process.

How to get a fire NOC for a new Mumbai building

  1. Confirm the plot's fire authority

    Inside MCGM's 24 administrative wards the Mumbai Fire Brigade decides. A plot in an MIDC industrial area, such as the Marol estate in Andheri East, goes to MIDC's fire service and its single window.

  2. File the CFO NOC with the building proposal

    The architect applies on autoDCR through the Common Application Form, with the CTS number, ward, height to the terrace slab, the gross built-up area certificate and 3 plan sets. No separate application to the fire department is needed.

  3. Receive the building NOC

    The Right to Service limit for a fresh or revised building fire NOC is 7 working days. The fire brigade does not inspect the site at plan stage.

  4. Build to the NOC and keep revisions minor

    A minor amendment that leaves open spaces, refuge floors, exits and travel distance unchanged needs no revised CFO NOC at intermediate stages; the change is checked at the occupation NOC.

  5. Install through a licensed agency

    A Maharashtra-licensed agency installs the fire systems and issues Form A, which the Mumbai Fire Brigade asks for with its annexure at the occupation stage.

  6. Apply for the fire occupation NOC

    The fire brigade inspects the building. Attach earlier NOCs, the IOD or CC, a structural stability certificate and, at 24 m or more, the PWD lift certificates. The Right to Service limit is 15 working days.

  7. Start the Form B calendar

    Once occupied, the building files Form B from a licensed agency every January and July with the Mumbai Fire Brigade.

Who issues the fire NOC at your Mumbai address?

Mumbai has one municipal fire service, but not every plot answers to it. Start with where the plot sits.

  1. IfThe plot is in any of MCGM's 24 wards, from A ward (Colaba, Fort) to T ward (Mulund)

    The Mumbai Fire Brigade's Chief Fire Officer issues building and occupation NOCs, and the ward's DFO console handles trade NOCs. Mumbai Fire Brigade

  2. IfThe plot is in an MIDC industrial area, such as the Marol estate around MIDC's Andheri East headquarters

    MIDC's fire service issues the Provisional and Final Fire Approval through the MIDC single window; MIDC runs a fire station at SEEPZ Gate No. 1, Andheri. MIDC fire stations

  3. IfIt is a warehouse on a plot below 900 m² inside MCGM limits

    No CFO NOC is needed for construction; the architect, owner or occupant self-certifies compliance. Warehouses MCGM autoDCR FAQ

  4. IfIt is a shop, eatery, clinic or other licensed trade inside an existing Mumbai building

    Besides the building's own approvals, the trade needs a fire NOC under section 394 of the MMC Act, filed on the MCGM portal. Fire NOC for Shop Mumbai Fire Brigade

  5. IfThe address is in Thane, Navi Mumbai, Mira-Bhayandar or Vasai-Virar rather than Mumbai

    That city's own municipal Chief Fire Officer decides; the Mumbai Fire Brigade has no NOC role there. Fire NOC Maharashtra Amendment Act 2023

Mumbai buildings that need fire NOCs most often

Each type has its own all-India page; here is the Mumbai detail that changes the file.

Five Mumbai buildings and what the rules make each do

Real-shaped cases worked from MCGM's and MIDC's published rules. They are examples, not client stories.

  1. Case 1

    A 30 m residential building in Borivali

    New G+9 housing, about 30 m to the terrace slab, R/C ward.

    What applies Below 32 m, so MCGM's codified low-rise list applies: 4.5 m gate clearance, a courtyard paved for 28-tonne engines and car-park sprinklers. At 24 m or more the occupation NOC also needs the PWD lift certificates. Mumbai Fire Brigade

  2. Case 2

    A 600 m² restaurant-bar in Lower Parel

    G/S ward, 12 commercial LPG cylinders.

    What applies Above 500 m² and 11 to 20 cylinders: an ADFO inspects and the Divisional Fire Officer issues the trade NOC from console RCC-2-B. The 2026-27 trade compliance fee above 200 m² is ₹64,430. Mumbai Fire Brigade

  3. Case 3

    A storage shed on an 850 m² plot in Kurla

    Warehouse, plot below 900 m², inside MCGM limits.

    What applies No CFO NOC for construction; the architect, owner or occupant self-certifies fire compliance with the building proposal. MCGM autoDCR FAQ

  4. Case 4

    A new unit on an MIDC plot in Marol

    Light-engineering building in the Marol MIDC estate, Andheri East.

    What applies MIDC's fire service, not the Mumbai Fire Brigade: Provisional Fire Approval through the MIDC single window within 30 days of a complete file, Final Fire Approval in 15, and Form B online on the MIDC portal. MIDC EoDB

  5. Case 5

    A 10-bed nursing home in Dadar

    Registered with MCGM's Health Department, on the first floor of a mixed building.

    What applies Fire compliance under section 394 with MCGM's document list, including an electrical audit, Form A and Form B and an indemnity bond on ₹500 stamp paper. Mumbai Fire Brigade

Form B, audits and renewals for Mumbai buildings

Maharashtra fixes no general renewal period; the Mumbai duties after occupation are filings.

Do

  • File Form B from a licensed agency with the Mumbai Fire Brigade every January and July. Free Press Journalnews report
  • For a residential tower above 70 m, book a licensed Fire and Life Safety Auditor every 2 years. Amendment Act 2023
  • On an MIDC plot, file Form B online on the MIDC portal, as required since 1 January 2025. MIDC circular
  • When a Mumbai trade licence is renewed, budget for the ₹4,050 to ₹32,220 compliance scrutiny fee. MCGM BRC 69

Don’t

  • Don't wait for a renewal date on the NOC: the 2023 amendment issues a renewal only where another Act or rule requires one. Amendment Act 2023
  • Don't use MCGM's 2021 empanelled auditor for a section 45A audit: that route certifies NOCs for residential buildings up to 32 m. MCGM auditor 2021
  • Don't treat a 120-day notice period as normal: since June 2026 BMC gives 15 days to 1 month. Mumbaikar Newsnews report

Mumbai fire NOC mistakes that cost weeks

Problems Flamekite sees when MCGM's published rules are read against how files are actually prepared.

  • If A plan revision moves a staircase or a refuge floor

    Only minor amendments that keep open spaces, refuge floors, exits and travel distance unchanged skip a revised CFO NOC; anything else needs a fresh 7-working-day NOC. MCGM autoDCR FAQ

  • If A restaurant adds cylinders after its NOC

    Crossing 2, 10 or 20 cylinders moves the NOC to a higher officer; declare the real count before an inspection finds it. Mumbai Fire Brigade

  • If A kitchen or store is built on the compulsory open space

    In June 2026 such kitchens at 5 Andheri (West) venues were demolished. Keep open spaces clear for fire engines. Free Press Journalnews report

  • If The small-warehouse exemption is read as no fire duty at all

    Below 900 m² of plot only the construction NOC is waived; compliance is still self-certified and the trade still needs its section 394 NOC. MCGM autoDCR FAQ

  • If An MIDC plot is filed with MCGM

Questions about Mumbai

Who issues the fire NOC in Mumbai?

The Chief Fire Officer of the Mumbai Fire Brigade, MCGM's fire department, issues fire NOCs for buildings inside MCGM's 24 wards under the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006. Plots in MIDC industrial areas, such as the Marol estate in Andheri East, get their fire approval from MIDC's own fire service.

How long does a fire NOC take in Mumbai?

MCGM's autoDCR system gives 7 working days under Right to Service for a fresh or revised building fire NOC and 15 working days for the fire occupation NOC. A trade NOC under section 394 of the MMC Act runs 10 working days: 1 to assign, 7 to inspect and draft, 2 to issue.

What is the fire NOC fee in Mumbai?

Under MCGM's 2026-27 schedule, trade compliance costs ₹8,070 up to 50 m², ₹16,120 for 50 to 100 m², ₹32,320 for 100 to 200 m² and ₹64,430 above 200 m². Building scrutiny is 10% of the Fire Service and Emergency fee, and an alteration or change of user is at least ₹25,000.

Can I apply for a Mumbai fire NOC online?

Yes. Building and occupation fire NOCs are filed on MCGM's autoDCR system through the Single Window Clearance System's Common Application Form, trade NOCs on the MCGM portal, and MIDC fire approvals and Form B on the MIDC services portal.

Does a shop or restaurant in Mumbai need its own fire NOC?

Yes. A trade licensed under section 394 of the MMC Act needs its own fire NOC from the Mumbai Fire Brigade, separate from the building's approvals. Floor area and LPG cylinders set the officer: above 20 cylinders a Deputy Chief Fire Officer issues it.

Does a Mumbai fire NOC need renewal?

Maharashtra's Act fixes no general renewal period. Instead, a licensed agency's Form B is filed with the Mumbai Fire Brigade every January and July, and residential towers above 70 m need a licensed fire audit every 2 years.

What are the fire rules for high-rise buildings in Mumbai?

Residential buildings up to 32 m follow MCGM's codified low-rise list, buildings of 24 m or more add PWD lift certificates at occupation, and towers above 70 m are section 45 buildings with a 2-yearly audit. Notifications reported in October 2024 add a 2-hour fire tower to every high-rise and break tanks every 65 m at 90 m and above.

Does a small warehouse in Mumbai need a fire NOC?

Not for construction if the plot is below 900 m² and inside MCGM limits: the architect, owner or occupant self-certifies fire compliance instead. A trade run from the warehouse still needs its section 394 fire NOC.
