Subdivision plan approval

Hemanth (Querist) 02 May 2022 This query is : Resolved
Hi,
I bought a piece of land from total of 3300 sq ft which was divided to 3 part and I bought 1045 sq ft. Got separate Patta and survey number for the same. Now when I went for DTCP approval for construction they were asking for sub division plan approval. When I ask the Govt official they said that when a land is divided into 2 or more (sub divided) it has to be approved as sub division plan.
Then I prepared document for sub division plan but now they are asking nearly total of 90K as DD (90K is collection of amount for various fee as DD)to be paid getting sub division approval.

My question is out of 3300 sq ft divided in to 3 part and sold to 3 different people . one with 1354 sq ft has got sub division approval already while registration they got approval for his part of land . So the remaining mine 1045 sq ft and last one 943 sqft are the one which do not have sub division approval. Some how we missed that sub division before buying and that create a problem now.
Is it mandatory to have sub division plan approval for the land for construction of building or even of selling it.?
And will it be that much fees need to be payed for getting sub division approval as approx 90K as the land is located near Guduvanchery.

Thanks

The DTCP fees vary from one state to another state. I think in Tamilnadu, the fees payable are from Rs.115/- roughly to Rs.750/- per sq. meter depending on the size, area, and location of the plot. It is agricultural land you have to first apply to covert the land into the site to the RDO/SDO/Revenue authorities of your division. Then you have to apply for plan approval.
