No Property Registrations without Sanctioned Plans: Telangana

Henceforth, properties in unauthorized layouts, apartments and buildings without sanctioned plans of the civic bodies will not be registered. The Registration and Stamps department has issued a memo on Wednesday directing all the sub-registrars to insist on layout approval or building permission copy for property registrations. This is applicable to the plots that have already registered and are going for second sale (resale). The Registration and Stamps (R&S) department commissioner T Chiranjeevulu in his order said the mandatory permissions and approval are applicable to all municipal corporations in the state including the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), municipalities and gram panchayats with immediate effect. The new order is likely to impact thousands of properties in the state especially in and around Hyderabad, where thousands of illegal layouts and constructions have come up. The decision has been taken by the government as many developers and plot owners are not coming forward to regularise their plots in authorized layouts under Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS) which now in vogue in newly created municipalities and merged villages. The commissioner said for registration of a house, flat or building, the approval of permission copy is a must and the registration document should be clearly mentioned that the registration is in accordance with the sanctioned building plan.
