Purchasing open plots in Telangana without proper DTCP (Directorate of Town and Country Planning) and RERA (Real Estate Regulation and Act) approvals can lead to financial losses, legal complications, and even demolition of unauthorized constructions. This guide explains why these approvals are non-negotiable for safe real estate investments.
DTCP approval confirms the layout plan has been vetted and approved by the Telangana government's planning authority.
Mandatory registration under Telangana RERA for plots in developments of 500 sq.m or more (8+ plots).
| Risk Type | Without DTCP | Without RERA |
|---|---|---|
| Legal Issues | Demolition orders, title disputes | No legal recourse for delays/cheating |
| Financial Loss | No bank loans, poor resale value | Developer may misuse funds |
| Infrastructure | No guaranteed roads, drainage | Amenities may never materialize |
| Future Problems | Cannot get building permissions | Difficulty in selling later |
In 2022, 150 investors in Kokapet avoided financial loss when their RERA-registered developer failed to deliver. Through RERA intervention, 92% of their investments were recovered, while buyers in an unapproved nearby layout lost everything.
Never compromise on DTCP and RERA approvals when buying open plots in Telangana. While unapproved plots may seem cheaper initially, they carry enormous financial and legal risks. Always verify approvals personally through government websites, consult a real estate attorney, and remember - if a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Pro Tip: For high-value plot purchases, consider paying extra for title insurance which covers legal defects and potential undiscovered claims.
