What the amendment does
G.O. (Ms.) No. 107, issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu, Housing and Urban Development [UD4(1)] Department, on 16 July 2025, amends the Tamil Nadu Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019. The notification was ordered to be published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette, Extraordinary, dated 16 July 2025.

Meaning of redevelopment scheme
G.O. (Ms.) No. 107 adds a definition of “Redevelopment Scheme” to the Tamil Nadu Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019. It means a scheme proposed for implementation according to a detailed redevelopment report and authenticated by the authority under rule 12 of the Tamil Nadu Apartment Ownership Rules, 2024.
This definition is relevant when an apartment property is proposed to be redeveloped through the process set out in those rules.
Application requirements
G.O. (Ms.) No. 107 requires the promoter engaged under rule 10 of the Tamil Nadu Apartment Ownership Rules, 2024, to apply online for a redevelopment scheme. The promoter must include an authenticated copy of the redevelopment scheme.
The amendments also provide that:
- An authenticated copy of the redevelopment scheme must accompany Form B in Annexure II when a redevelopment scheme is executed.
- Form B may use the authenticated redevelopment scheme as evidence of the applicant’s right over the land for the proposed development.
- Form C in Annexure III is expanded to include “Promoter of a redevelopment scheme” in addition to “Lease Holder”.
- Applications under Form B must include the applicable ownership proof, plans, specifications, site plan, key plan, and topographical plan showing existing development within a radius of 100 metres, drawn to a scale of 1:500, together with other details that may be required.
Modified plans for registered projects
G.O. (Ms.) No. 107 addresses modification of plans for a project registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority. The person specified in clause (ii) of sub-section (2) of section 14 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, must submit the application for the modification.
