What the government approved
The Tamil Nadu Housing and Urban Development Department, through Government Order (Ms.) No. 125 dated 12 November 2021, approved the construction of 155 flats in the Tamil Nadu Housing Board's Padikuppam scheme area in Chennai district.
The approval covers a self financing housing project costing Rs. 69.43 crore, excluding the cost of land. The project is to be funded from the Tamil Nadu Housing Board's own funds.
Background to the approval
The Housing and Urban Development Minister announced in the Legislative Assembly on 1 September 2021 that the Tamil Nadu Housing Board would construct 155 flats at Padikuppam under a self financing scheme. The announcement described the objective as providing homes that the public could purchase at affordable prices and stated an estimated cost of Rs. 62.77 crore.
The Managing Director of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board later requested administrative approval for a project cost of Rs. 69.43 crore, excluding land cost. The Tamil Nadu Housing Board approved the proposal in its agenda dated 20 October 2021. The government accepted the proposal after examination and issued the administrative approval with Finance Department concurrence.
Key conditions
Government Order (Ms.) No. 125 places the following requirements on the Tamil Nadu Housing Board:
- A detailed estimate must be prepared for the project.
- The detailed estimate must be examined by a subcommittee of the Board that includes a Finance Department member.
- This examination must take place before tenders are invited or financial approval is given.
- The Managing Director of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board must take the necessary action to implement the approval.
What it means for buyers and owners
Government Order (Ms.) No. 125 authorises the Tamil Nadu Housing Board to proceed administratively with the Padikuppam construction project. It does not provide application procedures, allotment conditions, flat prices, buyer eligibility requirements, construction schedules or possession dates. A prospective buyer would therefore need separate information from the Tamil Nadu Housing Board before applying for or purchasing a flat in the project.
