What the office order does
The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority, Administration Division, issued Office Order No. 10/2016 dated 01 April 2016. It adopts a revised Infrastructure Development Charges rate for certain planning permission proposals in sewered areas, continuing earlier office orders and authority decisions. The subject also covers handing the collected charges over to CMWSSB.
Proposals covered
Office Order No. 10/2016 applies to planning permission proposals for:
- Special Buildings.
- Group Development.
- MSBs.
The proposals must be within the present Greater Chennai Corporation limit. The document expressly states that this includes both the old Chennai city and the newly added areas.
The revised collection applies where the DC demand is issued during the stated period. The document does not provide further definitions of Special Buildings, Group Development, MSBs, sewered areas or DC demand.
Revised charge and period
Office Order No. 10/2016 sets the Infrastructure Development Charges at:
- Rs. 121 per sq.m.
- Applicable from 01 April 2016 to 31 March 2017.
- Collected for covered proposals when planning permission is issued.
- Applied to covered proposals for which the DC demand is issued from 01 April 2016.
The rate is therefore tied to the type of proposal, its location within the present Greater Chennai Corporation limit, and the date on which the DC demand is issued.
Who may be affected
Office Order No. 10/2016 is relevant to applicants seeking planning permission for a Special Building, Group Development or MSB proposal in the covered area. Property buyers, owners and professionals reviewing an approval from the stated period may need to check the proposal category, whether the site was in a sewered area, and when the DC demand was issued.
