Two Commercial Taxes and Registration Department notifications expressly amend earlier insurance stamp duty notifications.
Property and land relevance
The Housing and Urban Development Department notification sanctions and declares an Area Development Scheme for residential plots at the Uchapatti Thoppur Satellite Town Scheme in Madurai District under the Tamil Nadu State Housing Board Act. The supplied text does not provide the government order number, date, boundaries, survey numbers or detailed conditions of the scheme. Buyers and owners dealing with land in or near the scheme area may therefore need the complete notification and scheme records to establish whether a particular property is included.
