What the checklist covers

The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority checklist dated 6 August 2026 applies to promoters seeking registration of a normal layout or sub-division. It is a filing checklist rather than a planning approval, and it identifies the information and supporting records expected with the application.

  • An individual must provide name, father’s name, occupation, permanent address, contact number, email address and photograph.

  • A joint venture must provide the landowner’s name, father’s name, occupation, permanent address, contact details, email address and photograph.
  • The applicant must provide a Permanent Account Number and a copy of the Permanent Account Number card.

Ownership and approval records

The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority requires the following property and approval documents:

  • Patta and sale deed or PLR.
  • A link document and document flow chart when the registration applicant differs from the applicant who obtained the planning permit.
  • An encumbrance certificate covering the period from planning permission approval to 15 days before submission to the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority.
  • Planning permission approval letter, planning permit, local body approval letter and one approved plan bearing the local body seal.

  • The promoter’s audited balance sheet for the preceding financial year.
  • An original bank certificate in the format available on the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority website.
  • Registration fee payment details. For layouts, sub-divisions and site approvals, the stated fee is Rs.5/- per square metre of plottable area, excluding Economically Weaker Section plots, roads and Open Space Reservation.
  • Details of projects launched during the past five years, including status, delays, pending cases, land type and pending payments.

Site and submission material

The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority requires the project address, land extent, survey details, boundaries, endpoint latitude and longitude, a Google image showing the location, licensed surveyor details, dated site photographs and the stage of development works.
