Answer:
Forest Department: Procedure for Permission/Intimation for
felling of trees
Pre-conditions for application procedure:
1. If the area in which the trees are to be felled falls under Private Forest or Hill Area as per the
Tamil Nadu Preservation of Private Forest Act, 1949 or the Tamil Nadu Hill Area (Preservation
of Trees) Act, 1955, the concerned District Collector (Chairman of the District Committee) is to
be approached for permission.
2. If the area is a Reserved Forest/ Reserved Land/ Protected Area (Sanctuary, National Park or
Conservation Reserve), the felling of trees would be part of the process for diversion of forest
land as per the Forest (Conservation) Act 1980. The NOC for felling of trees in these areas is
issued by Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change and can be obtained from its
website (www.forestclearance.nic.in). In such cases, the issue of NOC for tree felling by Tamil
Nadu Forest Department separately does not arise.
3. For all other areas other than those mentioned in (1) and (2), such as Patta (private) land and
Revenue land, the procedure for permission/intimation for felling of trees (depending on the
species classification) is given below:
• For Sandalwood, the tree(s) after felling shall be sold only to Government. The combined
procedure for both felling and selling is elaborated in Annexure 1.
• For the other Scheduled timber trees namely Black wood, Rose wood (outside the notified
forests*), Silver oak, Teak and Red Sanders, no permission for felling of trees is required,
however prior intimation is mandatory 15 days before felling and the procedure is elaborated
in Annexure 2.
• For all other tree species, no permission or intimation for felling of trees is required.
*(Forests as per Tamil Nadu Rosewood Trees (Conservation) Act,1994 includes waste or communal
land containing trees, shrubs and roads, pasture land and any other class of land declared by
