G.O. (Ms.) No. 48, Reassignment of Nolambur, Ayanambakkam and Athipattu Villages, 2021
The Commercial Taxes and Registration (G) Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 48 on 26 February 2021 to change the Sub Registrar Office jurisdictions of three villages. Nolambur is reassigned from the Konnur Sub Registrar Office in North Chennai Registration District to the Villivakkam Sub Registrar Office in Central Chennai Registration District, while Ayanambakkam and Athipattu are reassigned from the Ambattur Sub Registrar Office to the Konnur Sub Registrar Office in North Chennai Registration District.
What the government order changes
G.O. (Ms.) No. 48, issued by the Commercial Taxes and Registration (G) Department on 26 February 2021, changes the registration jurisdiction for three villages:
- Nolambur is removed from the jurisdiction of the Konnur Sub Registrar Office in North Chennai Registration District.
- Nolambur is added to the Villivakkam Sub Registrar Office in Central Chennai Registration District.
- Ayanambakkam and Athipattu are removed from the Ambattur Sub Registrar Office and added to the Konnur Sub Registrar Office. Both offices are in North Chennai Registration District.
- Mogappair remains with the Konnur Sub Registrar Office. The proposal considered its workload but did not transfer it.
Who is affected
G.O. (Ms.) No. 48 affects buyers, sellers, property owners and professionals dealing with documents relating to property in Nolambur, Ayanambakkam or Athipattu. The relevant Sub Registrar Office depends on the village where the property is situated.
The government order changes registration office boundaries. The source does not state that it changes ownership, survey boundaries, land classification, guideline values, stamp duty rates or registration fees.
Reasons recorded for the changes
G.O. (Ms.) No. 48 records that an integrated Registration Department office complex was newly built in Nolambur. The complex was planned to accommodate six Sub Registrar Offices, including Villivakkam, and four offices had been completed when the government considered the proposal.
The Registration Department reported that Nolambur was mainly residential and generated approximately 1,300 registered documents and about Rs. 30 crore in government revenue each year. It considered Villivakkam more suitable than Anna Nagar because areas under Villivakkam adjoined the Konnur jurisdiction.
The government also considered office workload and revenue. Transferring both Nolambur and Mogappair could have substantially reduced Konnur's registrations and stamp revenue, so only Nolambur was transferred. Ayanambakkam and Athipattu were added to Konnur after their registration activity, revenue and proximity were reviewed. The source states that both villages were within approximately 1 to 1.5 kilometres of the Konnur Sub Registrar Office.
Practical point
