Telangana Government Moves to Clear Decades-Old Urban Land Files
The Telangana government wants to solve old land-related cases.
Many Urban Land Ceiling applications have been waiting for decades.
Officials will check these applications and regularise the ones that follow the rules.
The government said a 2016 order on the issue was never implemented.
This left thousands of cases unresolved.
A new memo tells officials to review applications filed under several earlier government orders.
The government also wants to speed up registration for some homes, plots and flats marked under the ‘22A’ category.
The goal is to reduce long-running problems with land rights and transactions.
Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy said Telangana will resolve eligible Urban Land Ceiling applications pending for decades.
Officials were directed to examine and regularise eligible cases after completing required procedures under applicable regulations.
The government said a 2016 order addressing pending applications had not been implemented, leaving thousands unresolved.
Memo No. 48062/ULC/A1/2026-1 directs review of applications filed under GOs 455, 456, 747 and 92.
The government also ordered fast-track registration of approved houses, plots and flats previously listed under the ‘22A’ category.
