The Revenue and Disaster Management Department's proposal to change the state's land market rate fixation policy was accepted by the Haryana Cabinet earlier this week. Initially notified in November 2021, the policy aimed to standardize land valuation across various government entities to prevent legal inconsistencies. The recent amendment aligns the state's policy with the Central Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. Key changes include adjusting compensation rates and simplifying procedural requirements, reflecting the government's commitment to enhancing transparency and efficiency in land transactions.
The Haryana Cabinet, led by Chief Minister Sh Nayab Singh Saini, accepted a proposal earlier this week from the Revenue and Disaster Management Department to change the state's policy for setting land market rates. This policy, initially notified on November 25, 2021, was designed to standardize land valuation across all government departments, boards, corporations, panchayati raj institutions, and urban local bodies. The primary objective was to eliminate legal complications arising from varying valuation standards among different entities. Advertisement
The recent amendment seeks to further simplify the procedure and ensure consistency with the Central Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. Notably, Clause 5(iii)(c) of the original policy has been revised. The term "double" has been replaced with "four times," aligning the state's compensation rates with those stipulated under the central legislation.
Additionally, the amendment clarifies that the collector rate prescribed for agricultural purposes will serve as the benchmark for calculating the fourfold compensation amount to be recovered from the beneficiary. This approach applies irrespective of the land's intended use, ensuring uniformity in land acquisition processes.
These changes reflect the Haryana government's ongoing efforts to streamline land acquisition procedures, enhance transparency, and align state policies with national standards, thereby fostering a more efficient and equitable land administration system.
By simplifying procedures and ensuring fair compensation, the state is fostering an environment conducive to transparent and efficient land transactions. This move not only addresses existing legal complexities but also sets a precedent for other states to consider similar reforms, potentially leading to a more unified and streamlined land acquisition framework across the country.
