Does this affect land or property matters?
This gazette is not mainly about land or property. For most property buyers and owners, the only potentially relevant part is the amendment to the Tamil Nadu Factories Rules, 1950, because it removes the need for a separate Form No. 1 application where permission has already been sought through the approved single window clearance common application form.
