At any time your land is acquired, you will be entitled to the compensation which shall be determined on the basis of the market value of the land, to be determined as on the date of preliminary notification. The market value of the proposed land under Section 26 of the new land acquisition act to be acquired shall be set as the higher of:
• the minimum land value, if any, specified in the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 for the registration of sale deeds in the area, where the land is situated; or
• the average of the sale price for similar type of land being acquired, ascertained from the highest fifty per cent of the sale deeds registered during the preceding three years in the nearest village or nearest vicinity of the land being acquired.; or
• the consented amount in case the land is acquired for private companies or public private partnership projects.
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.
