A special drive will be taken up from the first week of August to clear all the pending applications and regularise illegal layouts and plots within three months.

Principal Secretary for Municipal Administration M.Dana Kishore issued orders to complete the scrutinization of applications for plots in three stages and applications for layouts in four stages. About 25 lakh applications pending since 2020 due to various issues, will be scrutinized and the eligible applications will be sorted out, before collecting the prescribed fee for regularisation.

An online tool designed by the Centre for Good Governance will help to simplify and streamline the process so that the Revenue and Irrigation departments are kept in the loop, and no plots are regularised on water bodies and government lands, the memo issued by the Municipal Administration and Urban Development department said. 

The LRS applications will be clustered survey number-wise and village-wise, and each cluster will be given a unique ID.  In case of prohibitory properties, an auto-generated message about the shortfall will be sent to the applicant, who will be allowed to re-submit the application with documentary proof.  The list of applications filtered under the prohibitory category will be shared with the Office of the Inspector General of Registration and Stamps to prevent registration of such properties.

Besides conducting awareness programs at the district, mandal, and municipality levels, the officials have been instructed to open help desks at the offices of the District Collector, urban Local Body, and Urban Development Authority.  The complete process of LRS applications is online, without physical interaction between the applicant and the officials concerned.
