Relevance to property owners and buyers
Government Order G.O.Ms.No.55 is a programme funding approval, not a land administration measure. It contains no provision changing title, patta, land classification, registration, planning permission, land use or property charges. Tamil Nadu property buyers and owners are therefore not directly affected by it.
