Hyderabad Unauthorized Plots Regularisation Scheme

Though there was overwhelming response to regularisation of plots in unauthorized layouts with over 25 lakh applications across the state, many plot owners in the surrounding municipalities and municipal corporations, where illegal layouts have mushroomed, did not come forward to regularise their properties under Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS). The LRS scheme was announced by the municipal administration and urban development (MA&UD) department on September 1 and ended on October 31. The state also stopped registrations of plots in unauthorised layouts and buildings without permission from civic bodies. As the government stalled all registrations, there was huge response to the scheme from day one. While the highest number of applications have been received from plot owners in GHMC jurisdiction with 1.06 lakhs, another 1.01 lakh applications have come from Greater Hyderabad Warangal Municipal Corporation.
