Single Window for Building Approvals Soon In Tamil Nadu

Work is under way for the implementation of the single window system to provide approval for housing sites and building plan approvals for the public, Tamil Nadu minister for housing and urban development S Muthusamy said. He said that as per the instructions of the Chief Minister, required infrastructure facilities are being created so that people can get approval for housing sites and building plans by sitting at the comfort of their houses. He urged applicants to attach all required documents while submitting applications to officials as delay in processing applications is often caused by lack of of documents. “It takes a certain amount of time for the application to reach appropriate officials for approval. If the relevant documents are not available, the documents will be put on hold, resulting in delay,” he said. He said that instructions had already been given to officials to ensure that they collect all required documents from applications when they receive applications. Officials should not ask for additional documents later, which will cause delay.
