Civic body targets Rs 10 crore through Layout Regularisation Scheme in Ongole
ONGOLE: The Ongole Municipal Corporation (OMC) has launched a Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS) to legalise 374 unauthorised real estate ventures within its limits and aims to generate around Rs 10 crore in revenue. OMC Commissioner K Venkateswara Rao said the scheme allows owners of unauthorised layouts and individual plot holders to regularise their properties by paying stipulated penalties and 14% open space charges. 'We are expecting around Rs 10 crore income through this Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS) as we have identified 374 unauthorised layouts and real estate ventures within OMC limits. This is the best opportunity for real estate owners, layout developers, and flat or plot owners to regularise their sites and relieve themselves of any legal tension. Otherwise, they will face difficulties in the future,' said Rao.

State govt issues fresh LRS notification with 90-day deadline
Vijayawada: The state government launched a final, time-bound opportunity for regularising unapproved layouts and plots through the Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS). Property owners have 90 days to apply via the official portal, which is now live. The department of municipal administration and urban development said that this is the last chance for regularisation, with no further extensions. Eligible plots must have registered sale deeds dated on or before June 30, 2025, covering individual owners, welfare associations, and developers, provided at least one plot in the layout was sold before the deadline. The scheme applies to areas under municipal bodies, urban development authorities, and master plan zones, excluding the Amaravati capital city area. The initiative addresses public demand to bring unregulated layouts under proper planning norms. Regularised plots will gain access to building permissions, bank loans, and civic services like water supply, street lighting, and drainage. Revised fees, based on plot size and land value, make the process affordable, with a 10 per cent discount for full payment within 45 days and a 5 per cent discount within 90 days. Applicants must submit a sale deed, site plan, encumbrance certificate, and other documents, with a minimum payment of Rs.10,000 or 50 per cent of total charges at application. Layouts lacking open space require a 7 per cent land value compensatory charge after a 50 per cent concession. Ineligible plots include those on government land, water bodies, road alignments, environmentally sensitive zones, or in legal disputes. Flood-prone areas, green buffers, and assigned lands are also excluded. Principal secretary S Suresh Kumar stressed that this is a final administrative step, urging prompt action. Funds collected will upgrade local infrastructure, benefiting residents directly. Unregularised plots risk penalties, legal action, or inclusion in the Prohibitory Property Watch Register.

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.
