  2. So as long as the earlier Regularisation application conforming to present parameters asked for has not been rejected prior to promulgation of the ordinance on 1st April 1970,it is construed to have been regularised.
    Only those that were earlier rejected are to apply again as per the following :-
    Guidelines – Tamil Nadu Guidelines under section 113-C of the Tamil
    Nadu Town and Country Planning Act, 1971 for the Exemption of Buildings
    and Assessment and Collection of amount for Exemption, 2012 –
    Notification – Issued

    8. Transitory provisions
    (2) Any person whose application was rejected or refused, under
    the relevant rules prevailing as on the 1st July, 2007 in the respective
    areas, immediately before the date of coming into force of these
    guidelines, may make an application afresh satisfying the provisions of
    these guidelines.
