CMDA Plot Handover Procedures for Four Project Sites
The CMDA administrative order dated 21 January 2013, issued by R. Venkatesan, Member Secretary, sets procedures for handing over allotted plots at Maraimalai Nagar, Manali, Koyambedu and Sathangadu, and takes immediate effect. It supersedes earlier orders, while retaining the existing Tamil Nadu Housing Board handover procedure for plots in Manali New Town Phase I.
What the document does
The CMDA administrative order dated 21 January 2013 establishes an internal process for handing over plots in project sites at Maraimalai Nagar, Manali, Koyambedu and Sathangadu. R. Venkatesan, Member Secretary, issued the procedures in supersession of earlier orders and directed that they take immediate effect.
The document deals with the preparation and verification of plot sketches, physical handover to applicants, and demarcation of sites. It does not describe allotment eligibility, prices, fees, ownership documents or construction permissions.
Who is affected
The CMDA procedures directly concern applicants who are due to receive possession of allotted plots at the listed project sites. They also assign responsibilities to officers in the Allotment Division, Planning Division, project estate offices and Construction Wing.
The locations covered are:
- Maraimalai Nagar.
- Manali.
- Koyambedu.
- Sathangadu.
A separate arrangement continues for Manali New Town Phase I, where the Tamil Nadu Housing Board remains responsible for handing over plots.
Plot handover process
The CMDA administrative order dated 21 January 2013 sets out the following sequence:
- The process begins when the concerned Allotment Division requests that a plot be handed over.
- The Assistant Planner of the Planning Division instructs a Planning Assistant Grade III or Planning Assistant Grade IV to prepare the plot sketch.
- The completed sketch must be checked and countersigned by a Planning Assistant Grade I or Planning Assistant Grade II.
- The Senior Estate Officer for the relevant project hands over the site to the applicant.
- The Senior Estate Officer coordinates the handover with the relevant Planning Assistant Grade III or Planning Assistant Grade IV.
- The CMDA Construction Wing carries out physical demarcation of the site.
Practical significance
For an applicant, the document identifies which CMDA teams prepare the sketch, verify it, coordinate possession and mark the site boundaries. It does not state what documents an applicant must submit or how long the process should take. For a Manali New Town Phase I allottee, the document confirms that plot handover continues through the Tamil Nadu Housing Board rather than under the newly stated CMDA process.
