The Chief Commissioner of Land Administration (CCLA) has advised the ghmc not to sanction or approve any layout or provide construction permit based on conveyance documents about the regularisation of government lands under GO Ms No.59. Following reports of fraud, the ghmc was required to re-verify GO 59 applications and transfer documents. This regulation is only applicable to conveyance deeds executed on or after august 17 in Rangareddy, Medchal-Malkajgiri, and sangareddy districts till verification is completed.

The BRS administration issued GOs 58 and 59 to regularise land under the Land Regularisation Scheme (LRS) in the ownership of applicants previous to the creation of the state on june 2, 2014. GO 58 allows applicants who fall below the poverty threshold to regularise plots of up to 125 square yards for free. GO 59 dealt with the regularisation of land held by non-BPL people.

The plot was regularised using GO 59, which collected the land's market value. There is a big discrepancy between the selling price and the market value of a property. Even in prime locations, if the selling price is Rs 10 crore, the market value is less than Rs 2 crore, as stated in the majority of the sale documents presented to the Sub-Registrar Office. Recently, in several urban local bodies (ULBs), notably Khammam, the GO 59 was fraudulently used, and applicants sought land regularisation even on government land, including plots designated for road development.
