The Director of Town and Country Planning is designated as the Estimating, Reconciling and Controlling Authority for the new account head. The Director is authorised to draw the sanctioned amount by account payee cheque in favour of the Member Secretary, Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority, for deposit in the authority's personal deposit account.
