PLANNING APPROVAL CHECK
Verify DTCP layout or planning approval
An approval number matters only when the official record and sanctioned drawing cover the exact survey, subdivision, layout, plot and use being offered.
STEP BY STEP
Complete the verification in this order
Keep identifiers and evidence dates attached to each result so the records can be compared rather than viewed separately.
- Identify the approval claim
Record the approval or permit number, date, issuing authority, applicant, village, survey numbers and project or layout name.
- Check the official route
Use the DTCP, planning-permission or applicable local-body service rather than relying only on a marketing brochure or copied plan.
- Match the sanctioned drawing
Compare survey numbers, plot number, dimensions, roads, common areas, open-space reservations and conditions with the property offered.
- Confirm the responsible authority
Planning jurisdiction can depend on location and project type. Verify which authority issued the record and which local body handles the related permit.
- Separate approval from other checks
Continue with title, EC, land records, access, TNRERA applicability, taxes, utilities and the physical site.

COMMON QUESTIONS
DTCP Approval Verification in Tamil Nadu FAQs
These answers state the limits of each record and avoid treating one document as complete verification.
Does a DTCP approval number prove that my plot is approved?
Not by itself. Match the official record and sanctioned drawing to the exact survey, subdivision, layout, plot and dimensions offered.
Is DTCP approval the same as building approval?
No. Layout or planning approval and a building permit answer different questions. Check the approvals required for the property and work actually offered.
Does approval prove ownership?
No. Verify title, seller authority, EC, revenue identity, access and other property-specific records separately.
What if the plan on site differs from the sanctioned drawing?
Pause and obtain the current official record, the explanation for the difference and professional advice on its effect before paying.
