New Amendment Related to LRS Rules

The Government has issued an amendment allowing the registration of unregistered plots in unauthorized layouts, provided at least 10% of plots were sold via registered sale deed before 26.08.2020. This applies regardless of whether the owners applied under LRS 2020.

# 25% Rebate: Applicants who pay regularization and pro-rata open space charges by 31.03.2025 will receive a 25% discount on these charges.

# If an LRS 2020 application is rejected, 90% of the amount paid will be refunded with deduction of 10% towards processing charges.

• Procedural Updates:

# LRS applications of plots falling within 200m of water bodies/lakes will be processed through the Revenue and Irrigation Department.

# For LRS applications of plots not falling in prohibited lands, lakes & waterbodies or within 200m of water bodies/ lakes, the provisional LRS fee notice will be automatically generated, allowing applicants to avail the 25% rebate if paid by 31.03.2025.

# Applicants may opt to pay pro-rata open space charges at the time of building permission in which case they will not be eligible for the rebate.

• Online Access & Support:

# The LRS 2020 website now allows citizens to check application status, approval proceeding, fee details, shortfall details and rejection letters without logging in.

# A call centre has been set up at HMDA for assistance, reachable at 1800 599 8838.

# All eligible plot owners are encouraged to make payments before 31.03.2025 to avail the 25% discount. HMDA will ensure LRS applications with completed payments are processed within 10 days.
