Is it legal to build 5th floor on residential building in jaipur haritage area

Dear @Mohammad_Hashim

In Jaipur’s heritage areas, building regulations are stringent to preserve the city’s architectural integrity. Typically, structures are limited to Ground + 2 floors (G+2). However, amendments have allowed constructions up to G+3 floors in certain cases. The construction of a fifth floor, reaching 18 meters, may exceed these permissible limits. Additionally, safety concerns arise if the building lacks proper structural support.​ Read this document:
