How to Regularise an Unapproved Plot in Tamil Nadu


Updated: 26th Jan 2021

We understand that the Online Process is again Open for a one month period, till Feb 28, 2021.

All those who have not applied earlier, can take this opportunity to get their plots Regularised.

This Scheme of Regularisation is applicable to Unapproved Plots Registered on or before 20th Oct 2016.

அங்கீகரிக்கப்படாத  வீட்டுமனைகள் மற்றும்  லே அவுட்டுகள் வரன் முறைப்படுத்த (Regularisation of Unapproved Plots and Layouts) இணையதளத்தின்  மூலம் பதிவு செய்யும் வசதி மீண்டும் ஒரு குறுகிய காலத்திற்கு நடைமுறைக்கு வந்துள்ளது.

இப்போதைய  நிலவரப்படி, இந்த ஆன்லைன் விண்ணப்ப பதிவு,  2021 பிப்ரவரி மாதம்  28 வரை  நீடிக்கும்.

There seems to be no change in the procedure or charges.

இந்த வரன்முறை படுத்துதல்(Regularisation) பல கட்டங்களாக செயல் படுகிறது.

1. முதலில் இதற்கென ஏற்படுத்தப்பட்டுள்ள இணையதளத்தில் தேவைப்பட்ட அனைத்து விவரங்களையும் கோப்புகளையும் பதிவிட்டு, 500 ரூபாய் பணமும் செலுத்தி, பதிவு எண் பெற்றுக்கொள்ள வேண்டும். இந்தப் பதிவு எண், பின்னர் எல்லா தொடர்புகளுக்கு தேவைப்படும்.  

2. பின்னர் மேலே குறிப்பிட்ட அரசு ஆணையில் சொல்லப்பட்டுள்ள ஆவணங்களை சம்பந்தப்பட்ட தகுதிவாய்ந்த அதிகாரியிடம்(Competent Authoriuty) சமர்ப்பிக்க வேண்டும்.

3. அதிகாரிகள் இந்த ஆவணங்களை எல்லாம் சரிபார்த்து, இடத்தை வந்து இன்ஸ்பெக்சன் பார்த்துவிட்டு,  வரன்முறைக்கு செலுத்த வேண்டிய கட்டணங்களுக்கான நோட்டீஸ் தருவார்கள்.

4.முறைப்படுத்தலுக்கான தொகையும், அபிவிருத்திக்கான தொகையும்-ஒன்று வங்கியிலும் ஒன்று கருவூலத்திலும்- செலுத்த வேண்டும்.

5. பணம் செலுத்திய பின்னர்  சில நாட்களுக்குப் பின்னர் வர ன்முறைக்கான ஆணை வழங்கப்படும்.

தேவையான  வழிமுறைகள் (procedures and Formalities) அந்த இனணய தளத்திலேயே தரப்பட்டுள்ளது.

இதில் பிரச்சினை என்னவென்றால் சமர்ப்பிக்கப்படும் விண்ணப்பங்களை பரிசீலித்து ஆணை பிறப்பிக்க அதிகாரிகளை தொடர்ந்து பின் தொடர வேண்டிய ஒரு கட்டாயம் இருக்கிறது. இதை முறையாக செய்து முடிப்பது என்பது சிரமம்தான்.

Follow Up is the Key

The description above are the steps involved in getting the Unapproved Plots and Layouts Regularised. In actual practice, it involves a lot of follow up actions at various levels right from the stage of submission of Application. It may not be possible for an Applicant to do the follow up to get the Plot Regularised. 

Consequences of Non-Approval

The May 2017 GO (Regularisation GO) says that those who hold on to the Unapproved Plots, couldn’t transfer the Property through a Sale Deed.

Moreover, approval of Building Plans, electricity, water supply, drainage and sewerage connections, shall be denied to such Unapproved Plots or Layouts, according to those Rules.

But now, Registration or Transfer of Property takes place even in the case of Unapproved Plots. The situation may change in the future if anyone files another PIL demanding strict implementation of the GO.  Also, Unapproved plots have a lower market value. In view of these facts, it’s better to get the Unapproved Plots Regularised when the option exists.

Restrictions
Plots that are not eligible for Regularisation are:

A total of around 4500 layout frameworks are regularized by the competent authorities in the Chennai Metropolitan Authority area, according to the CMDA Website.. The details of the approval number along with the maps and sketches are up on the CMDA Website. The approved maps or sketches can be downloaded by the general public.

Applicability of the Rules

These Rules will be applicable only for the Registered Unapproved Plots in the following manner:  i) in the Chennai Metropolitan Area, between August 5, 1975 (the date when the First Master Plan was Notified) and  October 20, 2016 ie upto the Ban on Registration imposed by the High Court, ii)in the rural areas outside the Chennai Metropolitan Area for layouts formed between November 29, 1972 (the date when DTCP came into existence) and October 20, 2016, iii) and in the urban local bodies outside the Chennai Metropolitan Area, for layouts formed between January 1, 1980 (the date when the first Regularisation Scheme was rolled out) and October 20, 2016.

    I got my plot near Siruseri DTCP approved. But I read in newspapers yesterday that, in addition to the DTCP letter, for selling and registering the plot if I want to, then a letter of approval from the local authority is also needed: Otherwise the registration can not be done. Can you please check and explain this? If available, copies of such approvals can be posted, blacking out all personal matters like name, plot number etc.

    Sir, I am having a plot in madipakkam area which was registered in my name in 1996. The land/plot was first registered in 1957 and subsequently to 3 more buyers in 1984, 1986 and 1995. As per your article, if the land registered before three dates i.e. 5/8/1975 or 29/11/1972 or1/11/1980, then it will be considered as deemed regularised. Though i am a subsequent buyer of land (1996), whether this exemption is applicable to me or not. Whom should i approach in CMDA /Chennai corporation for clarification. AWaiting your response

    What happens to Land which are under HACA – Hill area conservative authority?
    There is no clear process or govt order stating how to convert those lands into a DTCP approved one.

    1. ChennaiRealties avatar

      Rule 6 of the Regularisation GO (78 0f 2017). makes it clear that the Regularisation shall be in Conformity with a List of existing laws, including The Tamil Nadu District Municipalities (Hill Stations) Building Rules, 1993.

      1. bodhikriyai avatar

        But the local panchayat office is stating that they have not received a GO for plots falling under HACA to proceed with DTCP approval process, I have done the online registration a year back and still waiting to hear from them. The LPA office members told to only keep in touch with the local panchayat office. Any comments or suggestions here?

    It was said by the DTCP officials as appeared in the Times Of India on 08/12/2017 that Layout frame works would be uploaded online within two weeks. But nothing happened like that. Will the authorities please look into this and do the needful ?

    Dear Sir,
    Great info on this website. In the above article you have mentioned that “All the Plots Registered before these dates in those areas, shall be ‘deemed as Regularised’, and owners need not apply for Regularisation.”
    Does it mean that the plot registered for the first time before 1972 or last registered in 1972? I would really appreciate your input.
