⚠️ Can a Village Panchayat President legally approve a private layout?
No! Under Government of Tamil Nadu regulations enacted in 2016, Village Panchayat Presidents have no legal authority to sanction private residential layouts independently. A Panchayat President can only sign local building plan approvals for layouts that already possess a valid DTCP or CMDA sanction number. Always verify the DTCP sanction order before purchasing.
