What the Gazette contains

Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Part II, Section 2, No. 2 is a collection of Government of Tamil Nadu notifications affecting particular sections of the public. It includes property related measures, consolidated stamp duty arrangements for named insurers, police medal announcements, and authorisation of the Secretary of the Tamil Nadu Online Gambling Authority to compound specified offences.

Land sale for the desalination plant

The Commercial Taxes and Registration Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 168, Commercial Taxes and Registration (J1), dated 10 December 2024. Two notifications under that government order apply to a particular sale deed between the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board and the Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation Limited.

Key provisions are:

• Stamp duty is remitted for the specified sale deed.
• The registration fee payable for that deed is also remitted in the public interest.
• The land measures 14.26 acres in Village No. 92, Kattupalli, Ponneri Taluk, Thiruvallur District.
• The covered survey numbers are 1/3B4B2, 1/4A1 and 330/2.
• The stated purpose is setting up a desalination plant.

These concessions are transaction specific. The Gazette does not provide a general stamp duty or registration fee exemption for other buyers or land in Kattupalli.

Forest settlement administration

The Environment, Climate Change and Forests Department issued G.O. Ms. No. 208, Environment, Climate Change and Forests (FR.13), dated 2 December 2024. It nominates or approves the Forest Settlement Officer identified in that government order to exercise functions under the Tamil Nadu Forest Act, 1882 within the stated territorial jurisdiction.

Earlier district notifications referring to a Forest Settlement Officer are to be read as referring to the officer identified in G.O. Ms. No. 208, unless the context prevents that interpretation. This may matter where land is involved in forest settlement proceedings.

Attachment of properties in Erode District

The Home Department issued G.O. (4D) No. 107, Home (Police XIX), dated 13 November 2024. It makes an ad-interim attachment of immovable properties connected with Messrs Sri Kandhan Nagar, Patlur nall road, Anthiyur, Erode District, following complaints about failure to return deposits after maturity.

Control of the attached properties is transferred to the Competent Authority and District Revenue Officer, Erode District. Anyone dealing with property connected to that financial establishment should check whether it is among the properties identified in the order's Schedule.
