What the document does
Government Order (Ms.) Number 199, issued by the Housing and Urban Development Department on 21 December 2017, amends the Tamil Nadu Assessment and Collection of Amount for Exemption of Buildings Rules, 2017. Those rules concern the assessment and collection of an amount for exemption of buildings under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971.

The change

- In rule 3, clause (ix), sub-clause (a), the words "within 6 months" are replaced by the words "within nine months".
- The relevant period is therefore extended from six months to nine months.
- The notification does not reproduce the rest of clause (ix) or explain what action must be completed within that period.
- No other amendment, amount, rate or fee is stated in the notification.
