The Chennai chapter of the Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India (CREDAI) has approached the Madras High Court challenging a Government Order issued on July 7, 2023, increasing the fee for registering a power of attorney executed in favour of a non-family member to sell an immovable property from a fixed amount of ₹10,000 to 1% of the market value of the property.

It has also challenged the increase in the fee for registering construction agreements from 1% to 3% of the cost of construction.
