All housing services and property sales under the state housing system will soon be shifted entirely to online platforms. The move aims to digitise operations, improve transparency, and make services more accessible to the public.

During a review meeting held at the housing board headquarters on Tuesday, the minister in charge of housing and urban development reviewed a wide range of issues, including ongoing projects, unsold houses and plots, delays in execution of sale deeds, new schemes proposed for launch this year, rental housing initiatives, revenue generation, administrative matters, land acquisition, financial status, and petitions received through the chief minister’s grievance redressal mechanism.

The minister directed officials to bring all unsold housing units and vacant plots across various schemes in the state under a unified online sales platform. This would allow the public to purchase properties quickly and without procedural delays. Officials were also instructed to ensure that all services and future housing schemes are delivered exclusively through digital platforms.

Emphasis was placed on expediting key initiatives such as the own-house construction scheme for government employees, the reconstruction of ageing tenements managed by the urban habitat development authority, and the development of satellite townships in multiple locations, including areas near Chennai, Madurai, and Pudukkottai.

The transition to a fully digital system is expected to streamline housing services, reduce administrative bottlenecks, and enhance public access to government housing schemes.
