FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

1. Question:
I heard that HUDA has changed its layout approval procedure. Can you enlighten us as to how this
new and changed procedure is better than the old one?
Rajsekhar, Hyderabad

Ans:
Yes, there has been a change in the mechanism of according layout approval by HUDA since 2001.
In the old system procedure, a draft layout was given to developer/applicant with conditions to
develop the layout works within one year. Plots could be disposed only after HUDA sanctioned the
Final layout. This procedure left many layout development works incomplete and also dragged on
the cases for a number of years due to non-compliance of the layout development works. Under the
new procedure, the applicant/developer is allowed to sell 75% of the plotted area after the layout
approval and after mortgaging 25% of the plotted area as surety for compliance of the layout
development works. This procedure has resulted in facilitating the layout owner/developer with
getting capital investment for undertaking the layout development works, faster layout
development works ( many layouts are completed within six months) and a proper check on the
layout developer and the works undertaken by him. In fact this procedure is working well and is
being emulated by other UDAs also.

2.Question:
I bought a land in Khazaguda (Cyberabad Zone) from a developer. He says it is a Panchayat layout.
Can you tell me if its OK if its Panchayat layout and not HUDA layout ? Moreover, I dont stay
here, can you please advise me how to protect my land from land-grabbers or from other
encroachments ?
Shasi, Lincolnshire

Ans:
Any layout has to have a valid approval from HUDA. The layout mentioned by you does not have
HUDA approval. This Panchayat layout necessarily has to be got regularized through the
Municipality and the Cyberabad Development Authority.

As regards protection of your site is concerned, this may be done by individual efforts, viz., fencing/
construction of compound wall ( for which necessary permission from the Commissioner, Seri
Lingampally Municipality needs to be obtained), watch and ward security, etc., or collectively by
forming an Association and taking similar measures.
2. Question:
I intend to buy a residential plot in a HUDA approved tentative layout of 1995 in Sy No. 132 of
Yapral (V).What is the difference between a tentative layout and a Final layout. Can we get house
permission in this ? When would HUDA be giving the Final Layout ? .
Naven Nuney,Capt Gemini, Ernest & Young

Ans:
A Tentative layout has been released by HUDA to the applicant in the said venture and the Final
layout is under consideration.

As to the difference between a Tentative HUDA approval and Final HUDA Approval, a
Tentative layout is given by HUDA after due technical and ownership & ULC verification. The
applicant is required to mortgage 25% of the plots to HUDA as surety for undertaking and
completion of all layout development works and conditions. However, the applicant/developer can
sell the plots in the remaining non-mortgaged area. After compliance of the development works as
per the specifications, HUDA releases the complete layout. Till then no building permission can be
given.

3. Question:
I purchased plots long back in Narnes Estates venture called Central Park Sector-3 . (a) Could you
give us the latest position of this venture at Kondapur?
(b) How long does it take to approve a layout by HUDA ?
(c) Can we go ahead and book a plot in this venture ?
Ramesh Sawlani, Hyderabad

Ans:
(a)
No Tentative layout approval has been given by HUDA in this venture mentioned by you as
there is a discrepancy in the land ownership which the applicant has to sort out first.
(b)
A layout normally takes one month for clearance after compliance of the all
requirements, ie., layout plans drawings, position of established road, filing of all ownership
documents, ULC papers and related link documents, etc. Similarly, Final layout approval takes one
month for clearance after all the development works are completed.
(c)
No transaction should take place in the layout, unless there is valid approval for the
same from HUDA.

4. Question:
I have purchased two plots
in Lakshmi Megacity-2 at Narkhuda and Chowduryguda . I am
told that HADA is undertaking the preparation of a Master plan for the area. How is this HADA
different from HUDA? Will our plots be confisticted by HADA as a result of the Public Caution
Notice issued in August 2002? Can you tell me as to how this Master Plan would affect us for our
layout approval and how different it is from a layout? BS Sharma. Saidabad, Hyderabad.

Ans:
To put it simply, the Master Plan and a valid layout approval guides usage of land and regulates the
development activities in an area. A valid layout approval means you can utilize the plot for
development purpose like building construction, etc. after duly obtaining permission as per law.
However, not having a valid layout approval does not imply that the area would be confisticated by
the public authority or the ownership rights over the land are affected as in your case (unless there
is an ownership discrepancy). It means that you cannot utilize the plot for development purposes
like house construction, etc. You would not get building approval under the law for the said area.
Both HUDA and HADA are separate planning and development authorities but operating under the
aegis of the Andhra Pradesh Urban Areas (Development) Act, 1975. Regarding the rules and
regulations for development, they would depend upon the Statutory Master plan and the set of
Development Control Regulations accompanying it. Therefore, these are different for different
UDAs.
The Master Plan as well as the Development Regulations for the HADA area is under finalization
and would be notified to the public shortly for their suggestions, comments, etc.

6. Question:
I am an NRI and looking out for land (around 500 sq yards) in Nagole area. Could you kindly
inform me if there is any HUDA/Government of AP Authorised Real Estate Agency ? Hari
Krishna, Hyderabad

Ans:
HUDA has approved a Final layout in Sy No. 10,11, 12 & 15 of Nagole (V). For similar areas layout
status, you may meet our Jumior Planning Officer on any working day at our Office @ Begumpet.
Regarding the second part of your question there are no authorization or system of licencing real

Regarding the second part of your question there are no authorization or system of licencing real
estate agencies at present. You may therefore need to approach any reputed real estate agency.

7. Question:
Ours is a Central Government organization and we sanction housing loans to our employees. We
wish to know:
(a)
Panchayats

Whether HUDA approval is a must for layouts which are in the purview of Gram

(b)
Whether HUDA approval is a must for construction of apartments/multistoreyed residential complexes, which are in the purview of Gram Panchayats or Municipalities.
(c)
Whether GOMs Nos. 422 and 423 exempt local bodies like Municipal Councils
from obtaining the approval of HUDA before sanctioning the construction plans of residential
complexes.

Ans :
(a)
All layouts whether they are in Gram Panchayat areas or UDA areas need to
have a valid approval. In case of UDA areas, approval of the UDA is a must, while in case of outside
UDA areas, approval of the Director of Town & Country Planning , AP is essential.
(b)
Similarly for Apartment Complexes, approval of UDA is a must if in UDA area
and approval of DT&CP for areas outside UDA areas.
(c)
No, the two Government Orders quoted require the above procedure at (b) to be
followed. The local bodies are not exempted from obtaining approval of HUDA or the DT&CP as
the case may be, in sanctioning and releasing the Apartment Complexes permissions.

8. Question:
We formed a Society and established a colony with duly approved layout about 15 years back. Onetenth of the land (about 1200 sq. metres) was registered in favour of Municipal Corporation of
Hyderabad as gift for utilization for religious purposes. We recently approached the MCH for
permission tp allot the said land for construction of a Kalyan Mandapam and a temple by (a)
fixing and collecting the cost of the land (b) giving it on long lease and fixing the amount of lease
to be paid (c) accepting alternate site of the same size within the locality in lieu of the site. The
MCH says it is not in a position to give answers for lack of guidelines. Can you help ? N V Rao

Ans :
HUDA cannot help in the matter. The details are not clear. From the question we infer that your
Society had gifted 10% of the open space in the layout to the MCH-as required by the layout
regulations. This is for park and play/ green area and cannot be used or converted for building use.
The recent Honble Supreme Court and Honble High Court rulings are clear on these. Further, once
the area is handed over to the MCH your Society has no locus standii over the land, which is a
public property. Therefore, allotment of the land for Kalyan Mandapam would not be possible in
the said land.

9. Question:
I have purchased a Plot of 200 sq.yds bearing No.98 in
Sy.Nos.61,62,65,68/1,68/2,69,69/1,70,70/1,71,72,72/1,73,76,77,85,85/1,86,94,120,121,122 to
126 at Sreeram Nagar Colony, Puppalaguda (V), Rajendernagar(M), R.R.District on 08-08-1990
through Sale Deed (regd.Doc.N0.13763/90). It was bounded by Plot No.97 to North, Plot No.99 to
South, lot No.79 to East and 60" road towards West. I paid post registration amounts in full
towards Development and betterment charges etc in the Year 1990 itself. Now I intend to construct
a house on the said plot.
Now, I came to know from the then G.P.A. Holder verbally that according to the revised layout plan
submitted with Huda long back, Plot No.99 towards South was deleted and earmarked for a road
and shown Plot No.98 as dead end towards south in the revised plan. Therefore, I request you to let
me know:
a) whether the Revised Plan submitted by A P Secretariat
Employees Co-operative Society is approved and/or present stage?
b) Whether, I can go for construction of a house on my Plot No. 98
(Shown as dead end plot towards southern side in revised plan
submitted with Huda) M Kanwal Pershad
Ans:
HUDA has not approved the said Revised layout Plan for the area in question. As you may be aware,
there are problems between the layout applicant and the Association with regard to developments
undertaken, change in the layout pattern and open spaces, etc. Unless these are sorted out between
the two, no approval can be considered in the said area. Therefore no building approval can be
considered until the area has valid layout approval. You can undertake house construction only
after obtaining buildingpermission.

after obtaining buildingpermission.

10. Question:
We have purchased a site in 1983 at Kudanpally village beside highway which goes to Keesara (RR
district). My father used to pay instalments to TPS housing Ltd and due to his sudden demise we
paid the remaining in one instalment and got registered on my mothers name in 1983 itself.
Unfortunately we have not paid taxes since then as we are staying somewhere far this place. But
now we heard that the sons of that site owner are going to re-sale the same land claiming that we
have not paid any taxes since 1983. Please suggest us what shall we do to keep safe of our land. We
have got registered documents with us. Sai SudhakarHyderabad

You need to consult a lawyer and take up the same in court of law in the matter.
11. Question:
I am planning to buy a land measuring 5 acres under Survey No. 36/A/3 Village Gopanpally,
Rajendernagar mandal, R District. Please let me know if I can purchase this land as an investment ?
Mohd. Abdul Waheed, Saudi Aramco,

Ans:
The said area comes under the Cyberabad Development Authority area. The land cited by you is
classified as Government land as per records available with us. We therefore do not advise you to
venture into this. However, you need to confirm the current status from the Mandal Revenue
Officer, Seri Lingampally Mandal

12. Question:
I read an article in your esteemed daily stating that some extra permissions are required for
registration of land in the Shamsabad area. We have taken plots from Lakshmi Mega City Phase 2
at Narkhuda, Chowdury guda and Pedda Shapur villages. Are we permitted to register the plots ?
Hari Krishna, Hyderabad

Ans:
The said area of Narkhoda as well as Pedda Shahpur come within the jurisdiction of the
Hyderabad Airport Development Authority (HADA) and there is no valid layout approval in the
above-mentioned sites. Further the area under reference comes within the 10 km prohibited area of
Himayatsagar Catchment area wherein such residential colonies and layouts are not permissible. We
understand that Government have given instructions not to register plots in such unauthorized
layouts.

13. Question:
Can you update us on the status of Survey No. 1003-1005 in Kukatpally. Will the developer be given
HUDA approval if all requirements are satisfied ? C Srinivas, Hyderabad

Ans:
The said site is earmarked for Residential Use in the statutory Zonal Developemnt Plan for
Kukatpally wherein residential activities are permissible. The area comes in the core area of ULC
limits and prior clearance from the Special Officer, ULC Authority would be needed. Yes, HUDA
would certainly accord development permission if all the technical and prima facie ownership
requirements are met. The applicant has to apply in the prescribed Form with all details that are
contained in the prescribed Form , or may approach the Building & Layout Scrutiny Committee on
any working day to ascertain details.

14. Question:
Kindly guide me about registration with HUDA and information about the title as I am interested to

ownership titles for the said area. You may go ahead and register the plot in the saleable area of the
said layout and after verifying the approved layout as well as on ground.

15. Question:
I have gone recently into a sale agreement of a house on a registered approved plot for a
constructed (in 1984)) house in Sy. No. 274 of Malkajgirir Municipality. On checking I came to
know that although plots A,B,C,D & E for regularization had been submitted in 1998 with fees Rs
4000, this house has not been regularized till date. Tax receipt has been paid till date & EC
Certificate is available. On enquiry with TPO, I was informed that due to FTL this has not been
regularized. What difficulties will be faced by me if I purchase the house ? Will the house be
demolished by Municipality ? There are approximately 200 houses under construction under same
area with people living. Please elucidate risks involved in purchase of house. Meeth Maharana,
Hyderabad

Ans:
The said site is earmarked for Conservation Use in the statutory Zonal Development Plan and the
layout is an unauthorized one. Further, the area is covered in the Full Tank Level of the
Ramkrisnapuram lake (Mukhidi Cheruvu), wherein residential activities are not prohibited. No
permission can be given by the local Municipality in view of the above.
Further, as per the recent Lakes and Trees Act, 2002 such areas are required to be protected by the
local Municipality.
Inspite of the above, if you risk and venture into this area, the developments undertaken are liable
for enforcement action by the local Municipality.

16. Question:
I intend to purchase plot no: 127 in survey numbers 466 and 467 at Dammaiguda, a hamlet of
village Nagaram, mandal Keesara R.R. district. This plot is adjuscent to the temple. Kindly let me
know whether this comes under HUDA's jurisdiction. If so, whether HUDA approval is there r not. I
am told by the seller that it is under panchayath. If so what are the requirements for me to fulfill so
that i can construct house on the said plot. V N Bhojane
Ans:
The area of Dammaiguda comes within HUDAs jurisdiction. The area is earmarked for Residential
Useand is affected in the alignment of the Intermediate Ring Road in the statutory Zonal
Developemnt Plan. As per our records, no layout has been obtained from HUDA for the said site. As
stated above the said layout has to be got regularized. Then only house building approvals can be
considered by the local authority. This would be a time consuming process. Hence we do not advise
you to go for this.

17. Question: Allotment of L.I.G. Plot NO-10

With reference to the above,I would like to inform you that the physical position was taken by me
on 27/02/97.But the registration of the same remained pending.Now I request you to kindly
confirm whether this plot can be transferred and registered in the name of third party directly. On
hearing from you I will comply with the necessary formalities required by you. An immediate
communication would be highly appreciated.

18. Question:
I have brought 266 sq yards of land from Boppana Constructions in Gajularamaram Village,
Quthbullapur Mandal, R.R Dist. They named it as Mithila Nagar. It is quite near to Praghathi
Nagar. The plot is under Survey No 307/E/5 (New Survey No. 307/2/5). The vendor has shown the
following documents at the time of purchasing the land. No objection letter from MRO and the
letter from HUDA showing the payment of development fees and mortagage of land to HUDA for
the development of land. All the roads are 60 feet and 40 feet roads. I am planning to buy another
land of 400 Sq. Yards in the same layout. Would you please confirm to me the status of the layout
of that area. Would I get loan in future to construct a residence in that area. Vineesh Degapudi
Ans:
HUDA has not approved the layout for the above-mentioned area as there is a court case pending.
Therefore you may venture for purchase of the said plot in this layout after the said layout is
released by HUDA.
19. Question:

19. Question:
I live in the USA and have some agriculture lands at Shamsabad. We have been told to get pattedar
passbooks for these. What is this and to whom do we approach for these? We would like to go in for
a HUDA Project plot. When would HUDA be announcing or notifying these? Mahesh Nomula

Ans:
We would be announcing sites/plots of HUDA Projects and the terms and conditions shortly the
information of which would also be made available on our Web Site: www. hudahyd. org. You may
therefore look forward to these.
Regarding the second part of your question, a pattadar passbook is given for agricultural purposes
by the Revenue Department. You need to approach the local Mandal revenue Officer of Shamsabad
Mandal in the matter.

20. Question:
We want to buy a plot in Akbarjah (V), under Alwal Municipality from a developer. He saysthe area
does not come under HUDA and so HUDA permission is not required and he can manage house
permission from Alwal Municipality. So we need not worry about housing loan, etc. Can you clarify
on this ? Prasada Rao

Ans:
The area very much comes under the purview of HUDA .What the real estate firm is stating and
doing is not as per law of development requirements. Any site needs to have a valid layout approval
before the local Municipality (in this case Alwal Municipality) can consider individual building
approvals in the plots. The Municipality cannot accord building approvals in unauthorized layouts.
So please do not take these for granted.

21. Question:
This is regarding a Change of land use in Sy no. 163 at Hydernagar from agriculture to residential
use, where we have a piece of land. What are the implications ? would the land be acquired by
HUDA as a result of the Change of land use classification? Dr. V B Sai Kumar

Ans:
You are mistaken. Any change of land use in the statutory Master Plan is undertaken as per a
statutory process. A change of land use implies that an area is to be utilized or developed for the
said reclassified land use and the activities that are permissible as per zoning regulations for the said
use. It does not imply that the lands so reclassified would be subject to compulsory acquisition by a
public authority like HUDA. If any private land is required for land acquisition by a public authority
like HUDA, it has to be done so under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1984 and as per
which notifications and notices would be issued and compensation as per the said Act provisions
would be paid.

22. Question:
I booked a plot at Jaybheri Park, Kompally. How long will it take to relese the Final layout ?
Goutham Sreenivasulu, Hyderabad

Ans:
A tentative layout approval was given for the said venture by HUDA. The Final layout can be
considered only after the developer complies with all the layout development conditions and
specifications and applies accordingly to HUDA in the given time period. You may therefore take up
the matter with the developer in this regard.

23. Question:
Please confirm whether Jawahar Nagar Colony in Moula Ali (near Eveready factory) is a HUDA
approved layout and there is no hassle in proceeding with the transaction. Ramesh Babu,
Secunderabad

Ans:
This is not an approved layout of HUDA and as in all such cases, requires regularization through the
Municipality and HUDA. However, this is an old existing colony and building permissions are being
considered subject to the above condition of regularization by the Municipality. Therefore, there
may not be hassle on this count.

24. Question:
Last week you stated that the layout venture of M/s Janachaitanya Housing Ltd., at Upperpally is
an illegal one. But the said company has said that they had applied to HUDA and also paid the
requisite fees and charges. How long will it take to clear the case?
Venkatram Reddy, Himayatnagar

Ans:
The position in the matter remains unchanged as there is no response or compliance from the said
applicant/developer till date. The fees and charges mentioned are levied at the time of scrutiny of
any such development permission. The application was rejected for want of formation of the 12.2
mt (40 feet) wide black-topped approach road to the proposed layout site. The layout development
works are allowed to be undertaken up only after approval and release of the tentative layout plan.
You may therefore have to take up the issue with the developer only in the matter.

25. Question:
We have purchased plots in Sy Nos 78 to 82 at Kothapet (V) near the Musi River and have been told
that a big road is being planned along the Musi River banks. Who can give us the details inthis
regard? Rajesh, Kothapet

Ans:
There is no valid approved layout for the site. The proposed Nandavanam Project River drive road
of 80 feet width is passing through this said site (which has been surveyed and demarcated by the
Quli Qutb Shah Urban development Authority (QQSUDA) on ground). Regarding the
implementation of the said Musi River front road, you may approach the QQSUDA, Darul Shifa, in
the matter.

26. Question:
I and my friends bought a plot at NCL Homes, and Satyam Homes at Jeedimetla respectively. Can
we go ahead and construct houses in these? Whom do we approach for permission ? Phani
Krishna

Ans:
Both the layouts of NCL Homes, Jeedimetla as wellas Satyam Enclave have been Final Layout
approval by HUDA. Therefore you may go ahead and buy plot in the above ventures. Regarding
individual house building permission in the plot, you need to apply to the Commissioner,
Qutbullapur municipality and need not approach HUDA for permission.

27. Question:
We have purchased plots at Narhkoda and Pedda shapur in the venture floated by Madhupala
Estates. Wecame across your Public Caution Notice on HADA area.Is it stillvalid ? What is the
position of Madhupala Estates ventures now ? Can we get house permission in this? Is it coming in
Urban Agglomeration ? B Prahlad

Ans:
The said area of Narkhoda as well as Pedda Shahpur come within the jurisdiction of the
Hyderabad Airport Development Authority (HADA) and there are no valid layout approvals in the
above-mentioned sites of M/s Madhupala estates. Further the area under reference comes within the
10 km prohibited area of Himayatsagar Catchment area wherein such residential colonies and
layouts are not permissible. No development permissions are being entertained in the area. HADA
has issued a Public caution Notice wherein the list of unauthorized layouts in the HADA area was
published. The position or status of the layouts ventures mentioned of M/s Madhupala Estates
remain unchanged. We understand that the Government as well as the Collector, RR District have
given instructions to the Registration Department not to register plots in such unauthorized layouts.
The areas mentioned are outside the Urban Land Ceiling or urban agglomeration limits.

28. Question:
I am planning to construct a nursing home at Attapur (V). Kindly brief me about the size of plot,
location and building requirements for this.
Hasan MM

Ans:
For a nursing home the optimum size of plot may be 1000 sq mts with the abutting approach road
of 12.2 mt (40 feet) width and black topped. The building setbacks and other requirements are
required to be as per GO Ms. No. 423 MA Dt 31-7-1998. For a 1000 sq. mt plot, you are allowed a
total built up area of 1500 sq mts + 30 % for common areas like corridors, staircase, etc. and the
front setback has to be 9 mt (30 feet) and remaining sides with 6 mts (20 feet) for a height of 3
floors. The site can be in residential or commercial or in institutional use zone of the Master plan.
Necessary building permission has to be sought from HUDA. You are advised to seek the services of
a qualified architect in the matter.

29. Question:
I have a piece of land at Janwada(V), Rajendernagar mandal, and want to develop farm house
layouts. But I am told that HUDA has stopped giving farm houses layout permissions. What is the
way out ?... Satish Kumar Shah, Hyderabad

Ans:

House permissions. You need to approach the Government for a Change of land use of your Survey
Number to Residential Use and after which only necessary layout permission and building
permission can be considered by HUDA.

Ans; No application has been received for approval of layout in the said site. As per the Statutory
Master Plan the area under reference falls in Conservation Use Zone wherein residential colonies are
not permitted. The owner therefore has to first seek a Change of land use for residential use from
the Government (Municipal Administration & Urban Development Dept.) and then only approach for
layout approval and development.

37. Question:
I wish to buy a residential plot in Survey No. 101/6, Nagole village, Taluk Hayathnagar, District
Ranga Reddy. Kindly advise about the lay-out whether approved by HUDA or not. What is the Govt
rate and the market rate in this area. Whether registration is possible immediately or there is a
temporary ban on registration as of now. Nuprun, Hyderabad

Ans:

a Government land. We therefore advise you not to venture into this.
For other details you may contact the Sub-Registrar, Uppal and the Mandal Revenue Officer, Uppal

For other details you may contact the Sub-Registrar, Uppal and the Mandal Revenue Officer, Uppal
Mandal in the matter.

38. Question:
We have paid a substantial amount of money and plan to purchase plot nos 31 & 32, under Survey
No.1/4, Hasmathpet, Balanagar Mandal, Kukatpally Municipality, developed by Lakshmi Bai and
others. Kindly let us know whether the above plots are free from discrepancies and can we build
houses immediately after purchasing the plots.S Janakiraman, Hyderabad

Ans:
As per our records, a tentative Group Housing Scheme cum plotted development layout was
approved on 9-9-1998 to the said applicant/developer. However, the developer has not come
forward for the Final approval till date. The said tentative approval has lapsed on 8-9-2001 and the
applicant was further informed on 8-7-2002 to apply afresh in the matter. Hence houses
permissions can be taken up only after a fresh approval is obtained from HUDA. You may therefore
have to take up the issue with the developer in this regard.

39. Question:
I have booked a duplex house in Attapur, a project launched by the Janapriya Engineers Syndicate
in January, 2001. I paid an advance amount of Rs 25,000 towards booking. However, till now,
there is no progress, like allotment of housing site, payment of further amount, etc., by the builders,
saying that some approvals are pending with Huda. They have not taken any steps to construct the
said houses in Attapur. The cost of the house is Rs 6.5 lakh. Kindly advise as to what I should do.
Vilma Prasad, Hyderabad

Ans:
The said developer has applied for a Group Housing Scheme approval to HUDA for the abovementioned site, and the same is under examination. The developer can proceed to undertake house
construction activity only after the same is approved by HUDA. We advise you to wait till approval
is given by HUDA.

40. Question:
I work abroad and would like to return and have a peaceful life. I would like purchase a small plot
in agood location or a flat or readymade house. Can you guide me or can I purchase from HUDA ?
Jayaprasad, United Arab Emirates

Ans :
Certainly HUDA can help! Firstly it depends upon the requirements, budget, and the location that
you would prefer, viz., within MCH Area or outside MCH Area. If within MCH Area, you may get in
touch with MCH or the various reputed real estate agencies/ builders for flat/apartment/readymade
house who have approved and valid permission from MCH.
If outside area is preferred, you may get in touch with HUDA for HUDA plots which HUDA is
Auctioning on 10th of May, 2002. If you prefer private layout plots, HUDA can give you the details
of private layout developers to whom HUDA has given layout approvals/ layouts with constructed
houses approvals. Similarly, HUDA can give details of builders/developers of approved Flats/
Apartments Complexes outside MCH area. So make up your mind accordingly, and if preferring
HUDA auctioned plots hurry up ! For details and application form get in touch with HUDA
immediately.

the HUDA Plots Auction scheduled to be held on 10th May, 2002. In the said HUDA Auction, none

the HUDA Plots Auction scheduled to be held on 10th May, 2002. In the said HUDA Auction, none

42. Question:
We are the worst sufferers, hit by the real estate bulls in the year 1996-97. We had taken
membership of Sripriya Real Estates Pvt. Ltd., located in Babukhan Estates.After we had paid all the
mobthly instalments, we were told that our respective plots in the ventures will be allotted to us. But
now, they dont even have office in the above mention3ed premises. Please tell us what to do ?
Rauf Saif, Hyderabad

Ans:
You need to take up the matter with the Police as the above action of the said developer amounts to
cheating and comes under the purview of Indian Penal Code.

43. Question:
Hi, I planned to purchase a third floor flat near Narayanguda area. I paid some advance to the
Builder and he gave a receipt for it. When asked for the HUAD clearance, the Municipal permission
and all other clearances, he showed us the municipal permission. He does not have permission for
the third floor. He has permission for only ground + two floors. Since he has converted the ground
floor for parking place, he says ground floor is applied to first floor and first floor is applied to
second floor and second floor permission is applied to the third floor. I came to know that some
people who have purchased flat from this builder, have registered the flat in their name. My first
question is : does registration not require any approval or even Municipal permission? My second
question : Is there any way to regularize this, if so, what needs to be done (do we need to wait till
the GO to regularise the construction comes) because when I asked him to get it regularized he says
it is not possible now, we need to wait till the GO comes.
Shasidhar Kache, Hyderabad

Ans:
In the MCH area all building permissions are given by MCH and HUDA does not come in the
picture. This is as per the Government policy. If the building has not been approved for flats then we
would not advise you to venture into this. However, you should enquire with the Asst. City Planner,
MCH, Circle 3 for the actual details. All flats/apartments which are put for sale require permission
of the MCH or Municipality. This is also a prerequisite for obtaining house loan from any loan
agency.
Regarding the second part of your question, there is no Government Order in force regarding
regularization of buildings and deviations. In fact, the present GOMs No. 423, MA, Dt. 31-7-1998
in force, mandates the MCH to take action against such violations and deviations in building
constructions.

44. Question:
I read an article in the Times of India that Government are contemplating to reduce the prohibited
area of the Himayatsagar Catchment. We have a plot in one of the layouts at Narkhoda as well as
Pedda Shapur being developed by M/s GPR Housing Pvt. Ltd.. Will these be registered in view of the
above decision?
Hari Krishna, Hyderabad

Ans:
The said area of Narkhoda as well as Pedda Shahpur come within the jurisdiction of the
Hyderabad Airport Development Authority (HADA) and there is no valid layout approval in the
above-mentioned sites. Further the area under reference comes within the 10 km prohibited area of
Himayatsagar Catchment area wherein such residential colonies and layouts are not permissible. We
understand that Government have given instructions not to register plots in such unauthorized
layouts.

45. Question:
This is with reference to the Public Caution Notice issued by HADA on unauthorized layouts in
Shamsabad area. We have come to know through the layout developer that the areas especially
Jukal and surroundings coming in the Himayatsagar Catchment are going to be regularized. Can
you enlighten us on this ?
Sreekanth, Hyderabad

Ans :
The said area of Jukal falls within the jurisdiction of the Hyderabad Airport Development Authority
(HADA) and there is no valid layout approval in the above-mentioned site. Further the area under
reference comes within the 10 km prohibited area of Himayatsagar Catchment area wherein such
residential colonies and layouts are not permissible. As far our information goes, there is no such
move contemplated for regularization or modifying the prohibited area falling in the Himayatsagar
lake Catchment area. The developer is simply conning you and misleading you.

As stated in the Public Caution Notice we had advised not to go in for such ventures. We would
again reiterate and advice to desist from buying in such ventures. Therefore the decision to either
keep the land or taking your money back is entirely yours.

46. Question:
I have purchased a land ininstalments from GPR Millenium Meadows. It is situated near Pedda
Shapur village at Shamsabad along Hyderabad-bangalore National Highway measuring 200 sq.
yards. After paying the allotment fees, this Public caution Notice on unauthorized layouts came to
my notice. In that Notice, GPR Housing Pvt. Ltd. Has also been marked for developing which were
not approved by the Directorate of own Planning. When I asked the Company, I was told that the
plots would be authorized within six months. Kindly let me know whether that information is
correct. If no such thing is going to happen, what should I do ? Sheriyar, Hyderabad.

Ans :
We have no knowledge whether any such regularization is being done or contemplated for those
areas covered in the HADA Public Caution Notice either by the Director of Town and Country
Planning or the Governemnt. Regarding the answer to the other part of your question, you have to
take up the issue with the developer. HUDA or HADA cant be of any help in this regard.

47. Question:
I purchased a flat in Ranfa Prasad Enclave, Vinayak Nagar, Gachi Bowli, Hyderabad. The builder
without obtaining permission from the falt owners allowed the Tatas ro erect a tele-tower on the
sixth floor of our Apartment Complex. We objected to that but he is not willing to remove it. He has
actually leased out the open area and is getting a huge amount towards maintenance charges.
Please guide us inthis regard. It has become a source of botheration.
Rugmini Padmanagan, Hyderabad.

Ans:
The Government has given special exemptions for such tele-tower facilities. However, These are
subjected to certain specific conditions, one of these being that tehconsent of the owners has to be
obtained by the service provider. Since in your case it appears that the builder/owner (who has no
locus standi once he sells the flats and common areas of the Apartemnt Complex) has not consulted
you all, you may therefore take up the issue with the service provider.

48. Question:
I would like to set up a petrol station on the Nagarjunasagar Highway at Turka Yamjal (V). Please
tell me the procedure for seeking permission from HUDA. Chinmaya Reddy, Abids

Ans:
The permission procedure for petrol station, cinema theratre, storage of explosives, etc., are well
established and originate at the District Collectorste Office. You have not mentioned tehbexact site
location. Firstly, givingbthe site details, ascertain from HUDA whwther treh proposed activity is
permissible as per the Statutory Master Plan. If permissible, apply in the prescribed format through
the Oil Company to the District Collector, RR District with all prticulars, requiste plans and
drawings, etc.The Collectorate issues the licence/permisionafter clearance from HUDA, the Police
department, R&B Department and the Revenue department. Based on this, building permission has
to be sought from HUDA, which releases it through the local authority.

49. Question
I wish to buy a plot in the layout of Golden Heights in Sy. No. 160, 161 of Budvel (V) and Sy. No.
45 of Upperpally (V). can I go ahead in this venture?
KS Babu Mohan, Ameerpet.

Ans:
Yes, you can go ahead in this venture as this is a HUDA approved layout. But as we have stated
earlier, verify from the approved layout plan to ensure that the site is not part of an open space or
non-buildable area of the alyout- and such areas are distinctly marked on ground.

50. Question
Several real estate companies are luring gullible public into buying their plots, claiming they have
approval or clearance from HUDA. How can we check these and other aspects of ownership?
S. Raghava Rao, Somajiguda

Ans:
Before buying the plot, ensure that it is part of a valid layout from HUDA. Also check whether it is
earmarked for plots and does not form part of the layout open spaces. On the registration aspect,
obtain a Non-Encumberance Certificate from the Revenue Authority/Registration Departemnt to
avoid legal complications, problem of double registrations, registration in prohibited areas, etc.
