Telangana Resumes House Regularization; Middlemen Charge High Fees

The Telangana government resumed the process of regularizing houses under GO No. 76, which had previously stalled. The government has given approval to issue title deeds to 2,200 applicants, and a survey has begun in Kothagudem. Reports indicate that middlemen are approaching applicants, promising to secure deeds for fees up to ₹3,000 per square yard for commercial plots and ₹2,000 for residential properties.

The resumption of the property regularization process in Telangana creates opportunities for intermediaries to target anxious applicants. These middlemen are allegedly charging significant fees, which could increase the cost for applicants to secure property rights. Furthermore, some local political leaders are reportedly attempting to use the process to recover political expenditure.
