G.O. (Ms.) No. 83, Amendment to the Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017
The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(3)] Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 83 on 21 June 2018 to amend the Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017. The amendment replaces the period of twelve months in guideline number 4 with eighteen months.
What the government order does
G.O. (Ms.) No. 83, issued by the Housing and Urban Development [UD4(3)] Department on 21 June 2018, amends the Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017. Those guidelines concern exemption of buildings and the assessment and collection of an amount for exemption under section 113-C of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971.
The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendment using the powers conferred by section 113-C. The Principal Secretary to Government signed the government order and notification.
Main change
The amendment makes one stated change to guideline number 4:
- The words "within twelve months" are replaced with "within eighteen months".
- The document does not reproduce the rest of guideline number 4.
- The document does not explain the event from which the eighteen-month period is calculated.
- No other amendment to the Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017 is described in the notification.
The amendment therefore extends the period referred to in guideline number 4 by six months. It does not itself reproduce all the requirements, conditions or procedures governing building exemption.
Who may be affected
G.O. (Ms.) No. 83 may affect building owners or applicants whose exemption matter is governed by the time period in guideline number 4. It is also relevant to authorities administering the building exemption guidelines, including the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning, the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority and District Collectors, all of whom were included among the recipients of the order.
The notification does not identify particular buildings, approve an individual exemption or state that every building is eligible. A property owner must therefore determine whether guideline number 4 applies to the building or application concerned.
Publication
G.O. (Ms.) No. 83 directs that the appended notification be published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary dated 21 June 2018. The document does not state any exemption amount, fee or rate, although the underlying guidelines are described as covering assessment and collection of an amount for exemption.
