Lucknow, Mar 10 (Reporter) The Uttar Pradesh government is set to revise land circle rates in multiple districts, including the state capital Lucknow, prioritising areas where rates have remained unchanged for years, official sources said here on Monday.
It may be noted that the primary beneficiaries of this revision will be farmers, as it will enable them to receive fair compensation for their land during acquisitions under law. "This focus aligns with the government's vision of advancing development projects across the state," they said.
Sources said that as per the Second Amendment Rules of the UP Stamp (Property Valuation)–2013, District Magistrates are responsible for setting the minimum price per hectare or square meter for agricultural and non-agricultural land in August each year. "If necessary, they may also revise these rates mid-year. This provision has facilitated the completion of the revision process in 37 districts this year," they said.
Sources said that in a recent review meeting chaired by the Chief Secretary, directives were issued to expedite the revision process in districts that have been pending for years. "These districts include Lucknow, Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Baghpat, Etawah, Kannauj, Hapur, Bulandshahr, Meerut, Maharajganj, Kushinagar, Ayodhya, Ambedkar Nagar, Etah, Kasganj, Muzaffarnagar, Badaun, Jhansi, Jalaun, Lalitpur, Sant Kabir Nagar, Kaushambi and Prayagraj. The process will be initiated soon in these areas," they said.
Meanwhile, revision is underway in districts such as Shamli, Saharanpur, Mirzapur, Aligarh, Banda, Hamirpur, Agra, Sultanpur, Amethi and Gautam Buddha Nagar...////...
