Is running a ladies boutique legal in a group housing society flat
04-Mar-2023 (In Property Law)
I am the owner of the flat in a group housing society in East Delhi with around 300 flats.
I wish to run a ladies boutique in my flat on ground floor. I will be residing in my other flat on the first floor and use the ground floor for the boutique. The boutique will be used to sale ladies garments and also provide tailoring services to the ladies residing in the society and nearby areas.
I wish to know if i can run such a business is allowed in residential area and can i run it legally and without any problems and what all permits do I need to run this business?
This question has always been of a great concern. People usually want to use their properties for commercial purposes because it saves time and money. Moreover, running a business in a commercial building would cost them heavy rents, taxes and electricity charges. Legal experts say that professionals like Doctors, Lawyers and Chartered Accountants among others can use residential properties for commercial purposes. Also, yoga, dance, music and other classes can be taken up.
Yes, it is legal to use residential property for commercial purpose, provided that, the prior permission of Municipal authorities of that area should be taken and if the professional is a tenant then landlord’s permission is required.
Any activity relating to the purchase and sale of goods is called a commercial activity. The work done by professionals involves element of service and is not a commercial activity. Hence, it is not illegal.However here your business would be of not into exclusive service but sales of garments which would bring in sale and purchase of goods. So it is advisable to get prior permission from DDA and your Residents Welfare Association.
DDA plays a very important role in deciding whether the residents can carry out professions in their basements. If DDA has permitted the builder or society to use the basement for professional purposes, only then such activities can be carried out, if DDA has not permitted, then no such activity can be carried out. The DDA has a right to lodge prosecution for change of user if found that activities are carried out without its permission.
With regard to all the provisions to be followed and permissions to be obtained from various competent authorities in order to carry out professional activities in residential areas, it is to be understood that, in all cases whether it is Delhi, Noida or Gurgaon, the services rendered by Lawyers, Doctors, Chartered Accountants and Architects to name a few, have remained unaffected when it comes to usage of basement for commercial activities. These services as discussed earlier do not fall within the ambit of commercial activities as they are service activities and do not involve sale and purchase of goods. However, for all other kinds of commercial activities as per the prevalent building laws or bye- laws, municipality laws; specific permissions are required to be obtained before taking up a commercial activity in a residential basement.
Good luck.

Yes, it is legal to use residential property for running a ladies boutique, provided that, the prior permission of Municipal authorities of that area should be taken and if the professional is a tenant then landlord’s permission is required.
Since you are a professional designer, running a boutique would not be illegal as you are providing service. However, make sure that the tailors or workers your boutique should not create any kind of nuisance for the residents of the society.
