G.O.(Ms).No.152, Amendment to Tamil Nadu Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019 (18 Aug 2022)
The Tamil Nadu Housing and Urban Development [UD4(1)] Department issued Government Order (Ms.) No. 152, dated 18 August 2022, to amend the Tamil Nadu Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019. It replaces the provision on Premium FSI charges for properties within 500 metres of qualifying existing, under execution or proposed metro rail corridors, setting the charge at 50 percent of the applicable Premium FSI charges.
What the amendment changes
Government Order (Ms.) No. 152 of the Tamil Nadu Housing and Urban Development [UD4(1)] Department amends the Tamil Nadu Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019. It substitutes clause (ii) in sub-rule (5) of rule 30 with a revised provision for properties near metro rail corridors.
The substituted provision states that:
- It covers existing metro rail corridors.
- It covers metro rail corridors under execution.
- It covers proposed metro rail corridors for which the Government has issued administrative sanction.
- The property must be within 500 metres of the corridor.
- The 500 metre distance is measured from the centre line of the metro rail corridor.
- Premium FSI is charged at 50 percent of the applicable Premium FSI charges for a qualifying property.
Who may be affected
The amendment to the Tamil Nadu Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019, is relevant to owners, buyers, developers and professionals dealing with property located near a metro rail corridor. Its practical relevance depends on the property's measured distance from the centre line and the status of the corridor.
A property near a proposed metro route is covered only where the Government has issued administrative sanction for that proposed corridor. The notification does not state that every property near any suggested or unapproved metro alignment receives the concession.
The provision concerns the amount charged for Premium FSI. It sets that amount at half of the otherwise applicable Premium FSI charges for properties meeting the stated location and corridor requirements.
