Gandhinagar: There is good news for developers wanting to set up projects within the limits of eight municipal corporations and in areas under the urban development authorities.
Now onwards, they would not have to worry about taking the cumbersome non-agricultural (NA) permission, which often led to corruption and delay of up to two years in buying up agricultural land to set up a project.
Gujarat government on Monday issued a resolution which makes it mandatory for the revenue authorities of eight municipal corporations and adjoining urban areas to clear the title of agricultural land bought for a project within 15 days of payment of necessary fees. “The GR is applicable to the development plan areas of the eight big cities as well as 150-odd town planning schemes, which are currently under implementation in these cities,” a senior state bureaucrat told TOI.
The GR reads, “While processing an NA application for a project in these areas, the district collector will be obliged to only see if the title is clear, whether the agricultural area falls within the urban land ceiling laws, whether land is not under acquisition for any public purpose, whether there is any dispute for the land, or if any dues are to be paid to the government”.
It further says that an application, once made, cannot be rejected. “It will be rejected only in case the title is not clear. Otherwise, the collector will not be allowed to say no for granting permission to buy up agricultural land to set up a project. He will have to complete the process within a fortnight’s time, which includes on-the-spot inspection,” according to the GR. Once title is clear, NA will be automatically generated, and its copy will be sent to taluka and village officials.
