The Telangana government’s Layout Regularization Scheme (LRS) 2020, which offers a 25% discount on regularization fees until March 31, 2025, is facing serious issues due to wrongly marked prohibited lands in the Dharani portal. As a result, many genuine plot owners are unable to generate fee intimations and avail themselves of the limited-time discount.
Fee Intimations Issued for Some, But Not for All in the Same Survey Number
While fee intimations have been successfully generated for some plots in the same survey number, other plots within the same survey number have been incorrectly marked as prohibited lands. This has led to widespread confusion and frustration among property owners.
Ceiling Land & ULC Issues Causing Major Hurdles
A major issue affecting applications is ceiling land cases, where:
- Plot owners hold a valid Urban Land Ceiling (ULC) clearance,
- But Dharani wrongly displays their plots as government or prohibited land.
- LRS staff, relying solely on Dharani portal data, are rejecting these applications without verifying the actual ownership status.
Genuine Plot Owners Unable to Pay Fees & Get Regularization
Due to these errors, thousands of genuine applicants are left struggling to get their fee intimations, making them ineligible for the 25% discount scheme. Despite having clear land titles, their LRS applications remain stuck due to outdated or incorrect data in Dharani.
Government Urged to Resolve the Issue Before March 31 Deadline
With the March 31 deadline approaching, affected plot owners are demanding that the government take immediate action to:
- Manually verify wrongly prohibited plots and correct Dharani portal errors.
- Ensure fee intimations are generated for all eligible plots, including those previously marked as prohibited.
- Extend the deadline if necessary, so that affected applicants don’t lose the 25% discount benefit due to administrative delays.
As the deadline nears, thousands of property owners are left uncertain about their LRS status.
