The telangana government has extended the Layout Regularisation Scheme (LRS) 2020 deadline till march 31, 2024, in response to pleas from residents taking part in the program. This initiative applies to layouts that are not within the jurisdiction of the Endowments Department, Waqf lands, or areas under the authority of judicial authorities.
 
An estimated 20 million low- and middle-class households stand to gain from the program's provisions by extending the deadline, including access to infrastructural upgrades and the legal recognition of their homes.
 
The telangana government launched the Land Reform Scheme (LRS) in 2015 to regularise unapproved and unauthorized layouts to encourage planned development in metropolitan areas.
 
In addition to not adhering to development standards, master plans, or statutory development plans, these layouts frequently neglect to include necessary infrastructure like lighting, drainage, and roadways.
 
The plan aims to provide citizens with basic amenities and better living circumstances by incorporating these unofficial communities into the official planning framework.
 
By granting legal status to unapproved and unlawful layouts and constructions, Telangana's Land Regularisation Scheme (LRS) seeks to encourage planned growth in metropolitan areas.
 
Key Aspects
• Promoting growth through officially sanctioned plans and integrated townships, which can be started by the public or privately.
 
• Plots or entire layouts may be registered, depending on the applicant's status as the owner or representative of the layout.

• The cost varies based on the location, size, and other characteristics of the plot; for plots smaller than 100 square meters, the minimum road width required may be as low as six meters.

• Applicants must fulfill specific requirements, such as not having any structure or layout within the bed of any kind of waterbody or the Full Tank Level (FTL) of any lake, pond, "Kunta," or "Shikam" property.

• If open spaces do not follow established guidelines, pro-rata open space fees will be applied.

• Included in the regularisation fees is the NALA fee (changing agricultural land to non-agricultural land use).

• General powers of attorney and agreements of sale are not acceptable as proof; only copies of the selling transaction or title deed are allowed.
 
• The authorized layout patterns by competent authorities shall be adhered to, irrespective of the number of plot owners requesting regularisation.

• The regularisation costs were restructured into seven slabs in 2022, as opposed to the previous four, and the new charges were greater than those of the 2015 version.

Through the official website, applications for the LRS program can be made online. The procedure entails entering personal information, uploading required papers, and making payments. On the same portal, applicants may monitor the status of their applications after submitting them.
