The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(3)] Department issued G.O.(Ms).No.200 on 21 December 2017, by order of the Governor of Tamil Nadu, to amend the Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017 under Section 113-C of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. The amendment replaces the words "within six months" with "within nine months" in guideline number 4.
What the document does
G.O.(Ms).No.200, issued by the Housing and Urban Development [UD4(3)] Department on 21 December 2017, amends the Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017. Those guidelines concern the exemption of buildings and the assessment and collection of an amount for exemption under Section 113-C of the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971.
The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendment using the powers conferred by Section 113-C. The government order also directs that the appended notification be published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary dated 21 December 2017.
The change
The amendment makes one stated change to guideline number 4:
- The words "within six months" are replaced with "within nine months".
- The source does not reproduce the rest of guideline number 4.
- The source does not identify, within this notification, the event from which the nine-month period is calculated.
- No other wording or provision of the Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017 is amended in the supplied notification.
Who may be affected
The amendment may affect people and authorities dealing with building exemption under the Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017. This includes matters involving the assessment and collection of an amount for exemption.
A property buyer, owner or professional should note that the relevant period in guideline number 4 is nine months rather than six months. Because the notification does not reproduce the full guideline, the complete Guidelines for the Exemption of Buildings, 2017 are needed to determine what must be completed within that period and how the provision applies to a particular building.
Administrative circulation
G.O.(Ms).No.200 was circulated to all District Collectors, the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning and the Member Secretary of the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority. It was also sent to departments including Finance, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, Municipal Administration and Water Supply, and Law.
