AP govt issues LRS guidelines, extends cut-off to June 30
Vijayawada:The state govt has directed municipal commissioners and vice-chairpersons of urban development authorities to resolve all pending applications under the Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS). Following the cabinet's recent approval of the proposal, the municipal administration department has issued detailed guidelines for implementing the LRS rules. Plot owners in unauthorised layouts covering around 18,000 acres across the state are expected to benefit from the move. According to reports, the director of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) submitted a report to the state govt stating that nearly 14,535 unauthorised layouts, covering approximately 78,452 acres, were uploaded to the UCIMS app by the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and Urban Development Authorities (UDAs). Subsequently, real estate bodies such as CREDAI and NAREDCO requested the govt to initiate a fresh layout regularisation scheme by extending the cut-off date to accommodate unauthorised or unapproved plots. The DTCP noted that several unauthorised layouts and buildings had emerged over time, leading to substantial revenue loss. Many individuals could not apply for plot regularisation due to a lack of awareness about the scheme, and are now facing difficulties in obtaining building permits. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Passive Income Ideas Sitting at Home Mone Undo The director recommended amending the Andhra Pradesh Regularisation of Unapproved Layouts and Plots Rules, 2020 (LRS-2020), by extending the cut-off date to June 30, 2025. This, she noted, would help mitigate revenue loss and bring unauthorised developments under legal and planning frameworks, ensuring orderly urban growth. After reviewing the DTCP's report and appeals from real estate associations, the government amended the LRS-2020 rules. The new rules extend the cut-off date to June 30, 2025, to bring unauthorised layouts and plots into the planning domain, said principal secretary S Suresh Kumar. He added that the updated rules will apply to all existing unapproved sub-divisions, layouts, and ventures promoted by landowners, private developers, companies, property developers, or societies, where the plots were registered by sale deed before June 30.

Andhra Pradesh government offers final chance for unapproved layout regularisation under amended LRS

The government issued a GO Ms. No. 134 on July 26 to this effect. As per the G.O., only those unapproved layouts and sub-division of plots with registered sale deed/title deed as a plot before June 30, 2025, can submit their applications within 90 days from the date of notification, that is July 26.

HYDERABAD: The resource mobilisation committee comprising ministers and headed by deputy chief minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Monday directed officials to speed up approval of Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS) applications to raise revenue. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Officials suggested that revising (increasing) the basic land value in sub-registrar offices may encourage more applicants to come forward to pay under LRS. The meeting attended by members N Uttam Kumar Reddy and D Sridhar Babu also reviewed initiatives aimed at enabling tribals to operate sand quarries directly in agency areas without any middlemen. The deputy CM instructed officials to explore ways to enhance revenue without imposing any additional tax burden on the public. He also directed the chief secretary to conduct daily reviews of decisions by the revenue resource mobilisation sub-committee. The committee also reviewed relocation of pollution-causing industries outside the Outer Ring Road (ORR) limits. Progress under the one-time settlement scheme in mines and geology department was also reviewed. In view of the construction of Indiramma houses, Bhatti emphasised that essential construction materials such as cement, steel, bricks and sand must be made readily available to scheme beneficiaries. He directed that price fixation committees be formed at each mandal.

TG mulls new scheme for regularisation of houses
Hyderabad: The Telangana government is gearing up to launch a new scheme for the regularisation of the houses constructed in the government lands. Eyeing to generate at least Rs 7,000 crore through the new scheme, the government officials, who are currently studying GO 59 issued by the previous government for regularisation of such houses, will soon come out with a new fee structure for this purpose. As many as 50,000 applications are pending before the government and most of them were received from Rangareddy, Hyderabad and Medchal districts before the Congress came to power in the state in December 2023, top officials said, adding that the previous government had regularized the houses built up to 125 yards free of cost. Those who constructed houses on 125-250 yards, have been asked to pay 25 per cent of the market value of the land in the respective areas. A penalty fee of 50 per cent of the market value of the land was fixed for the houses built on plots between 250 and 500 yards and 75 per cent fee to the houses constructed in the area between 500 and 750 yards and 100 per cent fee was collected from the houses constructed above 750 yards. Sensing some discrepancies took place in the regularization process earlier, the Congress government withheld the GO and stopped issuing conveyance deeds immediately after coming to power in 2023. All the applications were also under scrutiny in the wake of allegations of involvement of BRS leaders' role in the encroachment of the government lands. Soon after verification of the applications, the government will take a call and announce a new scheme for the regularization of the illegally constructed houses. 'The government is reviewing the fee structure under GO 59 and revising them according to the current market value of the lands finalized by the Gram Panchayats and Municipal Administration and Urban Development,' officials explained. Accordingly, the fee for regularization will also be enhanced. Recently, the Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS) generated a good amount of revenue for the government. The new scheme is expected to add more funds to the state's coffers in the wake of the government facing fund crunch in the 2025-26 financial year.

Rebate on LRS fee extended up to May 31
The Telangana government has issued orders yet again extending the deadline for payment of fee with 25% rebate for the Layout Regularisation Scheme to May 31. The government had already extended it twice, first to April 30, and then to May 4. The initial deadline ended on March 31 for the rebate scheme which was launched on February 20 this year. As per the initial announcement, a 25% rebate was announced on the regularisation fee and open space charges if paid before the deadline, for the LRS announced in 2020. Applicants were given the option of paying pro-rata open space charges at the time of obtaining building permissions too, but they will have to be paid in full, without 25% rebate. A total 25.67 lakh applications were received from across the State in response for LRS, when it was first notified in 2020. However, the applications were not actively processed, nor proceedings were issued, shelving the whole scheme for years. The response for the rebate offer is not very enthusiastic. Only 5.19 lakh applicants availed the rebate up to April 30 deadline, which is a little over 20% of the total applications. The LRS proceedings were issued with respect to 40% of the applications for which fee payment was made. Though the government hoped to collect ₹20,000 crore by way of the LRS fee payment, it could earn only ₹1,863 crore, achieving less than 10% of the targeted revenue.
