The Indore district administration has received 2,444 applications for leases on populated land under occupancy rights during a recent camp held at tehsil offices. This initiative allows residents from 29 villages, incorporated into the municipal limits in 2014, to secure long-term leases, facilitating property transactions and access to loans. The lease applications require various documents for verification, aimed at addressing issues faced by landowners in selling properties or obtaining loans due to lack of formal registration.
Last week, the Indore district administration hosted a lease application camp at local tehsil offices, receiving a total of 2,444 applications from residents seeking occupancy rights on populated land. The distribution of applications included 266 in Kanadia, 334 in Rau, 687 in Malharganj, 595 in Juni Indore, and 562 in Bhicholi Hapei.
The initiative follows the expansion of the Indore municipal corporation's jurisdiction in 2014, which integrated 29 villages into the city limits. Residents or their heirs, occupying residential land without formal leases, can now apply for long-term leases. Collector Asheesh Singh noted that these leases will be valid for 30 years, enabling property owners to secure loans and sell or transfer their properties more easily.
Currently, residents of these villages face challenges in property transactions due to the lack of registration and official documentation. The government had issued a circular on September 24, 2020, outlining eligibility for lease applications. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav had previously emphasized the importance of this process during his visit to Indore in September.
Applicants must provide documentation, including electricity and water supply bills, government correspondence related to land, details from the 2011 census, property tax receipts, and voter list information for verification.
This initiative by the Indore administration aims to empower residents with legal occupancy rights, simplifying property transactions and improving their access to essential financial services. By facilitating long-term leases, the program addresses longstanding issues faced by landowners in these newly integrated areas.
