Setback rules are regulations that govern the minimum distance that a building must be set back from the property line. These rules are designed to ensure that there is adequate space for public walkways, parking, and other amenities.
In Telangana, the setback rules are set forth in Government Order (GO) 168, Table 3. This table specifies the minimum setback requirements for different types of buildings, based on the width of the abutting road.
For example, a building on a road that is 18 meters or less wide must have a setback of at least 2 meters on all sides. A building on a road that is 30 meters or more wide must have a setback of at least 6 meters on all sides.
There are a few exceptions to the setback rules. For example, buildings that are used for religious or educational purposes may be allowed to have a smaller setback. Additionally, buildings that are located in a heritage zone may be subject to different setback requirements.
The setback rules are enforced by the local municipal authorities. If a building is constructed without the required setback, the local authorities may issue a stop-work order or take other enforcement action.
Here is a table of the setback requirements for different types of buildings, based on the width of the abutting road:

It is important to note that these are just the minimum setback requirements. The local municipal authorities may have additional requirements that must be met.
