Layout Regularisation Scheme rules amended

The government has issued an amendment allowing the registration of unregistered plots in unauthorized layouts, provided, at least, 10% of plots were sold via registered sale deed before 26.08.2020. LRS applications of plots falling within 200 metres of water bodies/lakes will be processed through the revenue and irrigation department. For applications of plots not falling in prohibited lands, lakes and waterbodies or within 200 metres of water bodies/ lakes, the provisional LRS fee notice will be automatically generated, allowing applicants to avail the 25% rebate if paid by 31.03.2025. Applicants may opt to pay pro-rata open space charges at the time of building permission in which case they will not be eligible for the rebate. The LRS 2020 website now also allows citizens to check application status, approval proceeding, fee details, shortfall details and rejection letters.
