What the Gazette contains
The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, No. 17, Part II, Section 2, published by the Government of Tamil Nadu on 7 May 2014, contains three groups of notifications. They concern consolidated stamp duty on insurance policies, a Police Medal for Gallantry, and a correction to an earlier labour dispute notification.
Consolidated duty on insurance policies
The Commercial Taxes and Registration Department issued three notifications under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899:
- G.O. (Rt) No. 224, dated 8 April 2014, consolidates duty of Rs. 5,00,000 on policies issued by the New India Assurance Company Limited through its branches in the Coimbatore region. It covers the period from 1 April 2014 to 30 September 2014.
- G.O. (Rt) No. 225, dated 8 April 2014, consolidates duty of Rs. 5,00,000 on policies issued by the New India Assurance Company Limited through its branches in the Madurai region. It covers the period from 1 April 2014 to 30 September 2014.

These provisions concern the consolidated duty chargeable on the insurers' issue of policies. The text does not impose a land transaction duty or alter property registration charges.
Police Medal for Gallantry
The Home Department Letter No. HSC.1/1618-7/2012, dated 18 April 2014, republishes Government of India Notification No. 36-Pres/2014 dated 21 March 2014. The notification awards the Police Medal for Gallantry posthumously to Sub Inspector T. Alwin Sudhan of the Tamil Nadu Police and records the service for which it was awarded.
Labour notification correction
The Labour and Employment Department G.O. (D) No. 128, dated 8 April 2014, corrects Notification No. II(2)/LE/206/2007. The correction replaces the reference to Lucas India Limited, Hosur, with a reference that includes both Lucas India Limited, Hosur, and Icon Management Services, Chennai.
