G.O.(Ms).No.90, Amendment to the Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017
The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(3)] Department issued G.O.(Ms).No.90, dated 21 June 2019, amending the Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017. The amendment changes the period in guideline number 4 from “within twenty four months” to “within thirty months”.
What the document does
The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(3)] Department issued G.O.(Ms).No.90 on 21 June 2019. The appended notification was directed to be published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary on the same date.
The notification 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 the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971.
The change
The amendment makes one specific substitution in guideline number 4:
- The words “within twenty four months” are replaced with “within thirty months”.
- The source does not reproduce the rest of guideline number 4.
- The source therefore does not identify the event, application or other action from which the thirty month period is calculated.
- No other wording change is included in the notification.
Who may be affected
G.O.(Ms).No.90 may affect building owners, applicants and professionals dealing with exemption under the Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017. Anyone relying on the time period in guideline number 4 should note that the period stated by the amendment is thirty months rather than twenty four months.
The amendment does not itself state that a particular building is exempt. It changes a time period within the existing exemption guidelines. Whether the change matters for an individual property depends on whether guideline number 4 applies to the relevant exemption matter.
Authority and administrative circulation
The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendment using the powers conferred by the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The government order was issued by order of the Governor and signed by the Principal Secretary to Government.
Copies were addressed to authorities including the Director of Town and Country Planning, the Member Secretary of the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority, all District Collectors, and departments concerned with finance, local administration, rural development and law.
