On Line System for issue of No Objection Certificate - Buildings & Masts Height Clearances
Airports Authority of India has introduced On Line No Objection Certificate Application System (NOCAS) for Buildings and Masts Height Clearances with effect from 19th June, 2008. NOCAS System is now available for the following cities:S.No 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 City Delhi Mumbai Chennai Kolkata Hyderabad Bangalore Ahmedabad S.No 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 City Amritsar Aurangabad Lucknow Madurai Vadodara Trivendrum Bhavnagar S.No 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 City Bhopal Dehradun Indore Nagpur Raipur Ranchi Tirupati

Practice of manual submission of applications for these cities is hence discontinued. Progressively other cities shall also be included in a phased manner. NOCAS System is accessible from AAI website www.aai.aero for submission of NOC Applications on line. With this system, applicants will not only be able to apply of NOC online but will also be able to track the status of their applications. With complete online processing of NOC cases issuance of NOC will be expedited. The NOCAS system carries out all related calculations to decide on the height clearances based on site location coordinates provided by the applicant. Thus with the implementation of NOCAS, it will be mandatory for the applicant to provide surveyed site coordinates in WGS-84 format from a certified agency. Without appropriate coordinates submission of application on-line will not be possible. Applicants are required first to register themselves on line and only thereafter they can submit their applications for NOC online. Once registered, access to the NOCAS for submitting the NOC application as well as tracking its status will be possible. On registering in NOCAS an Applicant User Id will be issued which can be used for future references including the tracking. Applicants will also get NOC ID on submission of the applications on-line, which can be used for tracking application status thereafter. After submission of the application applicant will take

the printout of the application and forward the same to nearest airport along with other essential documents. On receipt of the documents at respective airport, AAI user will scrutinize the NOC documents and will decide whether the application can be accepted or returned. In case of any non compliance in the NOC application, intimation to the applicant will be forwarded on-line with the details of discrepancies observed in the application. Applicant will then be required to submit the relevant documents to the airports in order to make the application acceptable for further processing. Once the NOC application is accepted by the airport AAI user, complete processing of NOC application will take place automatically by the system. NOCAS is a complete work flow based application providing on line routing of application to Regional Headquarter or Corporate Headquarter AAI users to finally decide on the issue of NOC. Based on the NOC calculation sheet provided by NOCAS application, height clearances are decided by the NOC committee with following options (a) NOC application cleared with requested height clearance (b) NOC application cleared with restricted height clearance (c) NOC application rejected. NOCAS applications provides automatic generation of various types of letters and formats as required during various stages of NOC case processing to bring uniformity in the process of issuance of NOC.
