G.O. (D) No. 25, Electrical Undertaking Compensation Committee Tenure Extension, 2015
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MC-II) Department issued G.O. (D) No. 25 dated 19 January 2015, extending for another six months the tenure of a committee chaired by the Commissioner of Municipal Administration. The committee, whose previous extension expired in December 2014, was formed to resolve compensation and current consumption arrears connected with electrical undertakings handed over to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board in Madurai, Coimbatore, Thanjavur, Karur and Pollachi.
What the government order does
G.O. (D) No. 25 dated 19 January 2015, issued by the Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MC-II) Department, gives the existing committee another six months from the date of the government order to complete its work. The committee is chaired by the Commissioner of Municipal Administration.
The committee had originally been constituted under G.O. (Ms.) No. 252 dated 12 December 2008. Its tenure was later extended until December 2014 under G.O. (Ms.) No. 75 dated 20 June 2014. G.O. (D) No. 25 extends that tenure again rather than creating a new committee.
Matters covered
The committee is responsible for finding a solution to financial issues arising from the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board taking over electrical undertakings. Its work covers:
- Finalisation and settlement of the compensation amount connected with the takeover.
- Settlement of current consumption arrears.
- Issues involving Madurai and Coimbatore City Municipal Corporations.
- Issues involving Thanjavur, Karur and Pollachi Municipalities.
The Director of Municipal Administration reported that proposals had already been sent to the Energy Department but had not been finalised. The Director expected that two or three further sittings might be required and requested a six month extension.
Who is affected
G.O. (D) No. 25 directly concerns the Commissioner of Municipal Administration, the relevant municipal corporations and municipalities, the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board and the Energy Department. Copies were also sent to the commissioners or municipal commissioners concerned.
For an individual property buyer or landowner, the government order does not set out any land classification, ownership, registration, planning or property transfer requirement. Its stated purpose is limited to extending the committee's tenure so that institutional compensation and electricity consumption arrears can be resolved.

- The extension runs for six months from 19 January 2015, the date of G.O. (D) No. 25.
