For plots in village-panchayat-administered areas around Chennai, Panchayat approval is needed before construction. Process is similar to CMDA/DTCP but at the panchayat level — Homeli files end-to-end.
Panchayat approval applies to plots in village-panchayat-administered areas around Chennai — typically outskirts not under CMDA or DTCP. Process: site visit, drawings, document compilation, application to panchayat office, fees, site verification, approval. Timeline: 30–60 days (varies by panchayat efficiency). Fees lower than CMDA — ₹30,000–₹80,000 total for typical residential 1,500 sq ft (₹20,000–₹50,000 refundable deposit).
Plots in village panchayats around Chennai — typically in further outskirts of Chengalpattu, Tiruvallur, Kanchipuram districts — fall under panchayat jurisdiction for building approval. The first step is confirming jurisdiction by checking the master-plan map.
Timeline 30–60 days depending on panchayat office efficiency. Some panchayats have moved to online filing; many still accept offline.
