What the notification does
The Government of Tamil Nadu, Finance Department published G.O.Ms.No.139, Finance (SFC-MC), dated 20 July 2026, in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary. The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendment, and the notification was also issued under the name of the Chief Secretary.
The amendment changes Finance Department Notification No. II(1)/Fin/10(b)/2025 dated 28 May 2025. That earlier notification concerned the constitution of the Seventh State Finance Commission to study the financial position of specified rural and urban local bodies.
The only stated amendment is:
- Every occurrence of the expression “31st August 2026” is replaced by “31st December 2026”.

Local bodies covered
The Seventh State Finance Commission notification concerns the financial position of:
- Village Panchayats.
- Panchayat Union Councils.
- District Panchayats.
- Town Panchayats.

G.O.Ms.No.139 primarily concerns the Seventh State Finance Commission and the local bodies whose financial position it is studying. Officials, professionals and others following the commission’s work should note that the date appearing as 31 August 2026 in the earlier notification must now be read as 31 December 2026.
For property buyers and owners, the notification does not announce a land classification, planning permission requirement, property tax rate, registration fee or change of land use.
