Overview
- The Revenue Department issued orders on Thursday allowing registration of open plots, houses and flats that received valid GHMC, HMDA, DTCP or municipal approvals even if the properties remain on the Section 22-A prohibitive list.
- Applicants must supply at least one 'link document' showing a prior registration after statutory approval so the registrar can verify that the development followed required permissions.
- District-level committees led by the collector and including the district registrar and local-body representatives will examine difficult cases and resolve problems that arise during the registration process.
- The relief stops short of removing properties from the 22-A list, a distinction that analysts say may keep prices depressed because buyers will still face title uncertainty and gain bargaining leverage.
- The move implements the government’s Assembly pledge and follows earlier regularisation steps under GO 118 and GO 76, and it could lift transaction activity while leaving legal and market questions for affected owners to manage.
