Relevance to property owners and buyers
G.O.(Ms) No.131 is an internal administrative arrangement for selecting agencies to conduct outsourced studies for the Evaluation and Applied Research Department. It does not contain provisions on land ownership, registration, planning permission, land classification, acquisition, valuation or property charges.
Property buyers and owners are therefore not assigned any duty or entitlement by the document. Agencies submitting technical proposals for empanelment, and the government officials appointed to evaluate those proposals, are the persons directly affected by its provisions.
