In a move that is expected to benefit buyers of house site plots located in large real estate layouts, the Directorate of Survey and Settlement (DOSS) has put in place a pre-mutation module for creating new subdivisions for approved layouts, wherein all the subdivisions in them could be done in one-go.
The module was successfully piloted in Coimbatore district and was found to be effective.
Once the plot subdivisions are created and approved on Tamil Nilam through the new module, all plots will be recorded in the name of the applicant/developer. Later, whenever there is a sale/purchase of the plot, there will be automatic mutation in the name of the purchaser, a recent communication from DOSS to all Collectors said. The NIC has developed the software for the pre-mutation module.
