Online Temple Property Rent and Lease Collection Instructions
The Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department issued proceedings Na.Ka.No.31154/2010/M3 dated 31 August 2021, directing the online administration of rent and lease collections for immovable properties belonging to religious institutions under its control. The proceedings amend earlier departmental instructions by changing the start date for the online system from 1 September 2021 to 15 September 2021.
What the proceedings govern
The Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department proceedings Na.Ka.No.31154/2010/M3 dated 31 August 2021 concern immovable properties owned by religious institutions under the Department's control. They deal with online payment of rent and lease amounts, and the recording of demand, collection and balance details.
The proceedings refer to earlier departmental communications dated 7 August 2021 and 19 August 2021. Those communications had instructed subordinate officers to arrange for tenants and lessees to pay the relevant religious institution online from 1 September 2021.
Main change
The Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department changes the commencement date for the online arrangement:
- The previously stated start date was 1 September 2021.
- The revised start date is 15 September 2021.
- Subordinate officers are instructed to bring the system into operation from the revised date.
Information to be uploaded
The proceedings require the Department's online records to contain information concerning immovable properties belonging to religious institutions. The required work includes:
- Entering demand, collection and balance details for rent and lease amounts.
- Entering relevant information concerning the properties and their tenants or lessees.
- Completing the online data before the collection arrangement is put into operation.
- Completing and sending the required confirmation relating to the data entry work.
The proceedings note that sufficient progress had not been made in entering the information and that only limited records had been uploaded. This incomplete work was delaying full online implementation.
Who is affected
The proceedings directly affect tenants and lessees who pay rent or lease amounts for immovable properties owned by religious institutions controlled by the Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department. They also direct the subordinate departmental officers and institution administrators responsible for property records, collection details and implementation of online payment arrangements.
The proceedings do not state that ownership, tenancy terms or lease amounts are changed. Their focus is the method and timing of payment administration and the completion of online property and collection records.
