About PUDA

The Punjab Urban Planning and Development Authority (PUDA) was constituted by the Government of Punjab on 1 July 1995, under the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995 (the “PRTPD Act”). It is the state's apex urban development body, responsible for the planning, development and regulated use of urban and sub-urban land across Punjab, and for preparing long-term strategic and local area plans wherever the state government assigns that function to it.
PUDA itself does not directly run every plot scheme or e-auction in the state. Under the same PRTPD Act, the Punjab Government has progressively constituted separate Regional Development Authorities — GMADA (Greater Mohali), GLADA (Greater Ludhiana), ADA (Amritsar), BDA (Bathinda), PDA (Patiala), JDA (Jalandhar) and DBNDA (Dera Baba Nanak) — each handling day-to-day plot allotment, e-auction, possession and compliance work within its own defined region. PUDA continues to function as the umbrella authority: setting state-wide planning policy, administering urban estates and schemes that fall outside any constituted regional authority's area, and providing overall administrative direction.
In June 2025, the Punjab Council of Ministers approved amendments to the PRTPD Act enabling the State Chief Secretary to serve as the common chairman across PUDA and all eight constituted development authorities, a governance change aimed at tighter coordination between the apex body and its regional counterparts. Because PUDA's exact administrative footprint shifts as new regional authorities are notified or boundaries are revised, we always recommend confirming with PUDA's office, or checking your own allotment paperwork, exactly which authority currently administers your specific plot, sector or town before booking a notice.

Malik Advertising is an independent newspaper-booking agency. We are not part of PUDA — we help applicants, allottees and professionals publish accurate, correctly formatted notices referencing PUDA records or schemes.

Not sure which authority administers your plot? GMADA covers Mohali/Zirakpur/Kharar, GLADA covers Ludhiana, and PUDA directly administers towns outside these and the other constituted regional authorities. See our GMADA Notice page if your matter concerns the Greater Mohali region specifically.

The notice we book most often is a PUDA property transfer notice in Punjabi Tribune or The Tribune, used whenever a plot or built-up property changes hands and the transfer requires public notification before PUDA processes the file. We also handle PUDA public auction advertisement bookings for upcoming e-auctions and draw of lots — typically released as a larger Display Ad with sector maps and reserve-price tables — alongside change-of-ownership (death case), cancellation and regularization notices for towns directly under PUDA's administration.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PUDA and when was it established?+

PUDA stands for the Punjab Urban Planning and Development Authority. It is a statutory body constituted by the Government of Punjab on 1 July 1995 under the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995, and functions as the apex urban development authority for the entire state, responsible for the planning, development and use of urban and sub-urban land across Punjab.

Does PUDA still exist, or has it been replaced by GMADA, GLADA and other authorities?+

PUDA still exists and remains the apex body. What has happened is regional delegation, not replacement: under the same 1995 Act, the Punjab Government has constituted separate Regional Development Authorities - including GMADA (Greater Mohali), GLADA (Greater Ludhiana), ADA (Amritsar), BDA (Bathinda), PDA (Patiala), JDA (Jalandhar) and DBNDA (Dera Baba Nanak) - to handle day-to-day planning, allotment and auction work in their specific regions. PUDA continues to oversee state-wide policy, areas not covered by a regional authority, and broader administrative direction. In June 2025, the Punjab Council of Ministers approved amendments enabling the State Chief Secretary to serve as the common chairman across PUDA and all the regional authorities, tightening coordination between them.

Which areas fall directly under PUDA rather than a regional authority like GMADA or GLADA?+

PUDA directly administers urban estates and development schemes in towns and areas of Punjab that do not fall within the specific jurisdiction of a constituted Regional Development Authority such as GMADA, GLADA, ADA, BDA, PDA, JDA or DBNDA. Because regional authorities have been carved out progressively since the late 1990s and 2000s, the exact list of towns directly under PUDA can change; we recommend confirming the current administrative authority for your specific town or sector with PUDA's office or your allotment paperwork before booking a notice.

What types of PUDA notices are published in newspapers?+

Common PUDA-related newspaper notices include plot allotment and e-auction announcements, draw of lots results, possession and resumption notices, change-of-land-use and building violation notices, tender/NIT notices for civic works, and individual allottee notices such as transfer permission, NOC, lease-to-freehold conversion and lost-document declarations referencing a PUDA file or plot number.

How do I publish a personal PUDA-related notice, like a transfer, NOC or lost-document notice?+

Send us the approved text or format required by PUDA (often specified in the allotment letter or department circular) along with your file/plot number, and we will book it as a Classified Text or Classified Display ad in your chosen newspaper, typically The Tribune, Punjabi Tribune, Ajit or Jagbani for Punjab matters. If you have lost your original allotment letter or possession certificate, see our separate Documents Lost category for the FIR-backed format most authorities expect.

Does PUDA itself release the public notice, or do I need to book it myself?+

PUDA's own scheme launches, e-auctions and policy notifications are released directly by the authority through its empanelled advertising channels. However, individual applicants, allottees, advocates or developers who need to publish a personal notice referencing PUDA records (such as a lost-document notice, transfer intimation, or objection notice) must book that ad themselves through an agency like ours.

What newspapers should I choose for a PUDA notice?+

For matters concerning Punjab's urban estates, The Tribune (English) and Punjabi Tribune, Ajit or Jagbani (Punjabi) are the most widely read and commonly specified newspapers. We can also add Dainik Bhaskar, Hindustan Times or national dailies if your notice requires wider reach, or a specific regional daily if your town is closer to a particular city.

How much does a PUDA notice ad cost in the newspaper?+

PUDA notice pricing depends on the newspaper, the Punjab edition, the notice size and the format, and rate cards are revised from time to time. Share your allotment details and we will confirm the exact current rate for the required editions.

Is PUDA the same as GMADA, GLADA or HUDA?+

PUDA and GMADA/GLADA are closely linked but not the same. PUDA is the apex state-level body created under the Punjab Regional and Town Planning and Development Act, 1995, while GMADA (Greater Mohali) and GLADA (Greater Ludhiana) are Regional Development Authorities constituted under that same Act to handle specific regions within Punjab. HUDA (now HSVP) is a separate authority altogether, created under its own 1977 Act for the neighbouring state of Haryana, and has no administrative connection to PUDA.

How quickly can a PUDA-related notice be published?+

Once the final text and newspaper are confirmed, PUDA notices in classified formats generally publish within 24 to 48 hours, subject to the edition deadline. Same-day release is often possible when you confirm before the cut-off.

Which format suits a PUDA e-auction or scheme advertisement?+

E-auction and scheme announcements carrying maps, sector plans or multiple plots generally go out as Display Ads so every detail stays legible. Simpler intimations, such as a single allottee's NOC, transfer or lost-document notice, are typically booked as Classified Text or Classified Display ads.

How do I publish a PUDA cancellation or regularization notice?+

Share the file/plot number and the exact cancellation or regularization wording specified by PUDA's Estate Office, and we will book it as a Classified Display ad — the bordered, bold-headed format normally required so the notice and its objection period are clearly visible to affected parties.

Can you publish a PUDA property transfer notice in Punjabi Tribune specifically?+

Yes. A PUDA property transfer notice in Punjabi Tribune (or The Tribune's English edition) is one of our most common bookings — we format the transfer, change-of-ownership or death case wording to match PUDA's requirements and schedule it for your chosen edition.
