In Dhaka city, the Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha also known as RAJUK is the authority to grant such permission. If you are trying to get RAJUK approval for a building plan, there are some important steps that you should take beforehand.
This process can be time-consuming as it involves many administrative works, however, you can save your time if you follow this guideline below:
Steps to Get RAJUK Approval
