THE state government has passed an order allowing small commercial buildings and houses to get new electricity connection without submitting building completion certificates from the local bodies.
The exemption is given to residential buildings not exceeding either eight dwelling units or 750 square metres (8,073 square feet) of built-up area and for commercial buildings not exceeding 300 sq m (3,229 sq ft) area and 14 meters (45 feet) in height, states the G.O.
This news is a great relief for many shop owners who have been unable to obtain Electricity Board connections for several years.
Applications seeking new connections, particularly for commercial use, have been pending for months in several offices across the state due to the norms prescribed by the Tamil Nadu Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019.
