The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Maharashtra Amendment) Act, 2018
The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Maharashtra Amendment) Act, 2018
This Act amends the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, specifically for the State of Maharashtra. It regulates how land is acquired, focusing on expediting the process and providing flexibility for the state government. The law allows the state to exempt certain public interest projects like national security infrastructure, affordable housing, and industrial corridors from full procedural requirements, provided the land used is the bare minimum. It also streamlines compensation awards by allowing settlements based on written agreements and extends timelines for taking possession, ensuring that delays caused by court stays or administrative issues do not invalidate the acquisition.
