What the government order covers
G.O.Ms.No.456, issued by the Revenue (Ser.V) Department on 19 July 2006, concerns the post of Joint Director of Land Reforms in the Office of the Commissioner of Land Reforms, Chennai.

Rule being amended

- The existing provision specifies a service period of six years.
- That period is reduced to three years for a person who has served in the Land Reforms Department itself.
- To receive the reduced requirement, the person must have completed at least twenty five years of service in the Land Reforms Department.
