Telangana Government Makes Amendments to the LRS Rules:- The government of Telangana issued orders with the new amendments for certain clauses in the ‘Telangana Regularisation of Unapproved and Illegal Layout Rules 2020’ for the rates when compared to the previous Land Regularisation Scheme (LRS) of 2015. The charges of regularisation specified in Telangana Regularisation of Unapproved and Illegal Layout Rules 2020 are said to be quite higher and the government took up the requests that are placed by the public. The new orders are issued by the state's Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar. The below are the charges of regularisation for the market value of the plot in rupees per square yard:

Below 3000 square yards: 20 percent
Between 3000 and 5000 square yards: 30 percent
Between 5000 and 10,000 square yards: 40 percent
Between 10,000 and 20,000 square yards: 50 percent
Between 20,000 and 30,000 square yards: 60 percent
Between 30,000 and 50,000 square yards: 80 percent
Above 50,000 square yards: 100 percent

If there is no 10 percent open space in the unapproved layout, the pro-rata open space charges would be 14 percent of the plot value. Several other amendments are made considering the number of unapproved layouts in the state. The Telangana Revenue Department is expected to earn huge amounts through this new Telangana Regularisation of Unapproved and Illegal Layout Rules 2020. The bill was passed in the Telangana Assembly recently after the Panchayatraj Minister KTR introduced it in the house.
