Relevance to property owners and buyers

Notification No. ந.க.எண். 46689/2021/இ1 may be relevant where a property transaction involves one of the named temples, trusts or endowments. The notification itself does not identify survey numbers, boundaries or individual properties, so it does not by itself establish that a particular parcel belongs to a listed institution.
