• Expected compensation due to demolition of apartment for NHAI

Hi,
We had recently purchased a property near AIIMS, Patna. A couple of weeks ago , we received a notice that the property was in the way of a proposed highway.
How much compensation can be expected for the property?
Would it be just as per the current market rates ? or would there be some extra compensatory payment on top of the market rates?
Any insights would be highly appreciated.

Firstly, yes you would get the compensation for sure.

Secondly, make some research for the market rate don’t go by the word of the officials.

No other amount as extra would be paid to you apart from the amount as per the market rate.

State must pay compensation at the market value for such land, building or structure acquired.

Section 27 of Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 defines the method by which market value of the land shall be computed under the proposed law. Schedule I outlines the proposed minimum compensation based on a multiple of market value. Schedule II through VI outline the resettlement and rehabilitation entitlements to land owners and livelihood losers, which shall be in addition to the minimum compensation per Schedule I.

The market value would be multiplied by a factor of, at least one to two times the market value for land acquired in rural areas and at least one times the market value for land acquired in urban areas. The Act stipulates that the minimum compensation to be a multiple of the total of above ascertained market value, value to assets attached to the property, plus a solatium equal to 100 percent of the market value of the property including value of assets.

In addition to above compensation, the Act proposes a wide range of rehabilitation and resettlement entitlements to land owners and livelihood losers from the land acquirer.Market value is often used interchangeably with open market value, fair value or fair market value, although these terms have distinct definitions in different standards, and may differ in some circumstances.
