Andhra Pradesh issues land-pooling and acquisition notices for Amaravati expansion
Landowners in notified villages must join land-pooling processes or face compulsory acquisition
Change
Andhra Pradesh has issued Land Pooling Scheme and notifications under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 for parcels in Guntur and Palnadu districts, binding those parcels into state-led pooling and statutory acquisition processes.
Why it matters
Notifications under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 place affected parcels on a statutory acquisition path governed by that Act's compensation and rehabilitation framework. Land Pooling Scheme notifications designate pooled parcels for infrastructure, flood-mitigation works and a proposed airport, bringing those parcels into the state's land-assembly process.
Implications
- — Conveyancing teams handling active sale or purchase transactions in Guntur and Palnadu must suspend closings and verify parcel status with the district collector immediately — completing transfers on parcels now notified risks proceeding against land under pooling or acquisition notices.
- — Infrastructure project planners and developers with planned works in Amaravati must treat parcels in the notified villages as subject to state pooling and LAAR Act acquisition now and halt irreversible land-dependent work until the state's pooling/allocation and acquisition processes conclude — proceeding risks project delays or loss of site control.
