G.O.(Ms).No. 104, Amendments to the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning (Levy of Infrastructure and Amenities Charges) Rules, 2008
The Housing and Urban Development [UD4(1)] Department of the Government of Tamil Nadu issued G.O.(Ms).No. 104, dated 8 July 2025, amending the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning (Levy of Infrastructure and Amenities Charges) Rules, 2008. The amendment extends the payment period for infrastructure and amenities charges from thirty days to sixty days, while retaining interest for late payment and the bar on planning permission until full payment.
What the amendment covers
G.O.(Ms).No. 104 of the Housing and Urban Development [UD4(1)] Department changes the procedure for paying infrastructure and amenities charges under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning (Levy of Infrastructure and Amenities Charges) Rules, 2008. The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendments using powers under the Tamil Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971.
The notification was directed to be published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Extraordinary, dated 8 July 2025.
Payment deadline and consequences
The substituted rule 9 applies to a person who receives a final assessment order under rule 8. Its key requirements are:
- Infrastructure and amenities charges must be paid to the Planning Authority or Local Authority, as applicable.
- Payment must be made in one lump sum.
- The payment deadline is sixty days from the date on which the notice in Form C is served.
- If payment is not made within sixty days, interest at fifteen percent per year is payable on the outstanding amount.
- Planning permission cannot be issued unless the full amount is paid.
The amendment therefore relaxes the earlier thirty day payment limit to sixty days. It does not remove the requirement for full payment before planning permission can be issued.
Revised Form C demand notice
The amendment also replaces Form C, the Notice of Demand of Infrastructure and Amenities Charges referred to in rules 8 and 9. The revised form identifies the assessed building through details such as door number, street, division or ward, survey information, village or town, and site extent.
Form C must state the assessed infrastructure and amenities charges and require payment within sixty days from service of the notice. It also warns that late payment attracts interest at fifteen percent per year on the outstanding amount and that planning permission will not be issued until the amount is paid in full.
Who is affected
The amended payment process affects any person served with a final assessment order and Form C demand for infrastructure and amenities charges. Planning Authorities, Local Authorities, and applicants awaiting planning permission must follow the revised sixty day period and the related payment conditions.
