Proc. No. TNRERA/A4/707/2022, Fast Track Registration of Regularised Layouts
The Real Estate Regulatory Authority issued Proceedings No. TNRERA/A4/707/2022 on 13 January 2022, introducing an immediate, simplified fast track procedure for registering regularised layouts as a one-time measure. It lists the documents and fee required, provides conditions for part layout registration and designated bank accounts, and delegates registration powers to the Additional Director (Operation), Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority.
What the proceedings do
Proceedings No. TNRERA/A4/707/2022 of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority establish a simplified process intended to speed up registration of regularised layouts. The process took effect immediately on 13 January 2022 and is described as a one-time measure.
The proceedings concern registration with the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority after a layout has received regularisation proceedings from the competent Planning Authority and approval from the Local Body. They do not themselves grant planning regularisation or Local Body approval.
Who may be affected
The fast track procedure directly affects promoters applying to register regularised layouts with the Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority. It may also be relevant to buyers, owners and professionals checking whether a regularised layout has the documents needed for registration.
For part layout registration, the promoter has an additional responsibility to identify the part being registered by marking a distinct boundary and providing an undertaking.
Documents and fee required
An application for registration of a regularised layout must include:
- Form A.
- Form B.
- A copy of the regularisation proceedings issued by the competent Planning Authority.
- A copy of the approval issued by the Local Body.
- An Encumbrance Certificate.
- For part layout registration, a distinctly marked boundary in the layout and an undertaking from the promoter.
- A registration fee of Rs. 5 per square metre of plottable area.
Designated bank account condition
The regularised layout registration procedure does not require the opening of a designated bank account if the promoter declares that all development works have been completed according to the layout condition and the brochure. The proceedings link this exemption to the promoter's declaration of completed development works.
Authority to approve registration
The Real Estate Regulatory Authority delegates its powers under Section 81 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 to the Additional Director (Operation), Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority. The delegated officer may accord registration under the one-time procedure.
