What the document does
G.O.(Ms).No.90 dated 21 June 2019 was issued by the Housing and Urban Development [UD4(3)] Department. Its appended notification amends the Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017, which were made under section 113-C of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971 for building exemptions and the assessment and collection of amounts for exemption.
The notification states that the Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendment using the powers conferred by section 113-C. It also directs publication of the notification in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary dated 21 June 2019.
Exact amendment
The amendment makes one stated textual change to guideline number 4 of the Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017:
- 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 particular application, payment, assessment or other action that must occur within that period.
- No other change to the guidelines is set out in the notification.
Who may be affected
The amendment 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 read it using the substituted period of thirty months rather than twenty four months.
The notification does not identify any individual building, property owner or application. It changes the wording of the general guidelines rather than granting an exemption to a named property.
