Determination of market value of land is done by collector/district magistrate on the basis of circle rate fixed by Government and average sale price for similar type of land bought in previous months.

If so is decided by Collector, then the multiplier is used to calculate the compensation. But it's notable that solatium is also given equivalent to 100% of the compensation amount.

There is no categorisation of Semi-Urban in the Act of 2013.

As you've mentioned, only two categories are available. Semi-Urban will be calculated in accordance with the Urban Formula, but Distance from City will matter.

as the distance of land sought to be acquired from rural area increases from that of urban area, the multiplier factor is required to be increased suitably

2) 

you have not mentioned what is the distance of your land from urban areas

2) in rural areas which are farthest from urban area, the multiplier factor is required to be two and when rural area covered under the project is closer to the urban area, such multiplier factor scales down to less than two and even up to one, when the land sought to be acquired for the project is closest to the urban area.

There is no such act available for semi-urban area. There are only two area Rural and Urban.

 

The compensation value are calculated in the RFCTLARR act on the basis of 13 acts. as per the LARR act 2013.

 

The Fourth Schedule lists thirteen (13) Central legislation's, which are sought to be exempted from the provisions of the Act in the Principal Act 2013 and as per executive order dated 28th  August 2015 these 13 (Thirteen) acts are within the scope of RFCTLARR ACT 2013. I.e. Compensation, Rehabilitation and resettlement entitlements are included. The LARR Act 2013 is restored by an Executive Order Dated 28th August 2015.

In the same act you will find a mention about the calculation of compensation to be granted to semi urban land.

Your query appears that you have not gone through the act properly.

Section 26 of the Act defines the method by which market value of the land shall be computed under the  law. Schedule I outlines the minimum compensation based on a multiple of market value.

The market value of the proposed land to be acquired, shall be set as the higher of:

 if the multiplier factor is used for making compensation to your case, you are eligible for the same though the acquired property of yours is a building and not lands.

 calculation of compensation by applying the multiplier factor or not will for property situated in the distance of 26 kms from Urban area can be answered by the authorities concerned referring to the chart or table held by them on such issues.
