The Government of Tamil Nadu published Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part II, Section 2, No. 18 on 3 May 2017, containing notifications from several Secretariat departments. For land interests, G.O. (Ms.) No. 13 of the Highways and Minor Ports Department, dated 6 March 2017, amends an earlier land acquisition notification, but the supplied extract ends before the wording of that amendment and does not identify the affected land.
What the Gazette covers
The Government of Tamil Nadu published this Gazette issue to notify official decisions affecting particular sections of the public. It contains notifications from the Backward Classes, Most Backward Classes and Minorities Welfare Department, Commercial Taxes and Registration Department, Higher Education Department, Highways and Minor Ports Department, and Home Department.
Land acquisition notification
G.O. (Ms.) No. 13 of the Highways and Minor Ports Department, dated 6 March 2017, issues an amendment relating to acquisition of lands. The notification number is No.II(2)/HWMP/327/2017.
Key points for property owners and buyers are:
- The amendment relates to an earlier notification issued through G.O. (Ms.) No. 243 of the Highways and Minor Ports Department.
- The supplied source ends before the actual amendment is reproduced.
- No district, village, survey number, owner, land extent or acquisition purpose appears in the supplied portion.
- A reader cannot determine from this extract whether a particular property is affected. The complete amendment and the earlier notification would be needed for that assessment.
Stamp duty notifications for insurance policies
The Commercial Taxes and Registration Department issued several notifications under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. These concern consolidated duty payable for insurance policies issued by specified insurers, rather than stamp duty on property transfers.
They include:
- Rs.12,00,000 for policies issued by the Oriental Insurance Corporation Limited through its Tamil Nadu branches from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018.
- Rs.1,42,00,000 for policies issued by the Life Insurance Corporation of India through its Tamil Nadu branches from 1 April 2017 to 30 June 2017.
- Rs.10,00,000 for policies issued by Shriram Life Insurance Company Limited through its Chennai Divisional Office from 17 March 2017 to 30 September 2017.
- Amendments extending specified periods for policies issued through the Life Insurance Corporation of India P&GS Department, Madurai, and the New India Assurance Company Limited, Vellore.

It records university nominations and awards to Fire and Rescue Service personnel. These provisions do not identify or regulate privately owned land in the supplied text.
