File phototammore-inThe deadline for regularisation of unapproved plots and layouts may be extended, as a majority of the plot owners are yet to apply for the scheme. Less than 5% of the plot owners in unapproved layouts have been able to apply for the scheme in the State, according to officials. Over 20,000 applications have been submitted in the Chennai Metropolitan Area,” said an official. Only after senior bureaucrats such as Rajesh Lakhoni took over as the CMDA Member Secretary, work gained momentum in Chennai Metropolitan Area. For urban local bodies outside the Chennai Metropolitan Area, buyers can benefit from the regularisation scheme if the individual plots are located in layouts formed between January 1, 1980 and October 20, 2016.
