Hi,

Regarding your query. As per the normal bye-laws of the Delhi Municipality, living in the basement for residential purposes are usaully counted as illegal. However, this is not the rule.

It is dependant on the locality in which you are residing. The police shut down and sealed several stores in Defence Colony, New Delhi in January 2018 on account that the basements had been allotted only for residential use, whereas the owners were operating them under Commercial purposes without having paid the conversion charges.

If I have further details I can guide you with the same .
