What to check before you pay an advance
Sizing and dyeing processes need the right Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board consent category, so check that the parcel's zoning allows your process. For houses, check that loom sheds or extensions are covered by approvals.
Banks check both the land (the title and the approved layout) and the building (an approved plan that matches what was actually built) before they sanction a loan. Our house document checklist lists every paper you'll need.
What to check
- Compare the approved building plan with the house as built: floors, setbacks and extensions.
- Confirm the plot is in a DTCP/LPA-approved layout, or that a regularisation order exists.
- Pull a 30-year Encumbrance Certificate on TNREGINET and trace the parent documents.
