Madras HC stalled the sale of illegal housing plots on agricultural land through an order six months ago, both the real estate market and government, who earn revenue through registration, felt the squeeze. This may end if the Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) implements a procedure to legalise such housing plots.
According to the proposed plan, conversion of agricultural land would happen in three steps — seeking public objections and suggestions, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the State agriculture department and an NOC from the local tahsildar.
The Madras High Court has passed an interim order prohibiting registration of unapproved land.
it passed an interim order that sent shock waves across the real estate sector of Tamil Nadu – it banned the registration of plots and houses (for the sale deed, the transfer of ownership from seller to owner) that had not secured approval for the change in land use from agricultural to residential from appropriate authorities such as the Directorate of Town and Country Planning or the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority.
If you are unable to buy or sell agriculture land for erecting a house or for commercial purposes, your long wait might end soon. Both the real estate market and government, who earn revenue through registration, felt the squeeze. This may end if the DTCP implements a procedure to legalise such housing plots.
However you can purchase agricultural land for agricultural purposes.
