What Is This Notice About?

This document is not an initial land-acquisition proposal. It deals with the rehabilitation and resettlement of families affected by the acquisition of land for Sector 103. The R&R Scheme has been prepared under Section 16 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR Act, 2013).

Purpose of the Land Acquisition

According to the notice, the land is connected with development of infrastructure/Industrial Park in Sector 103, S.A.S. Nagar, in accordance with the planned development shown in the Master Plan. The scheme covers approximately 177.3312 acres proposed to be acquired from the concerned villages.

How Was the R&R Scheme Prepared?

The notice states that the scheme was prepared using a Census Survey of affected families, land and properties. Information was collected regarding:

• land being affected
• houses and other structures
• dairy farms
• fruit-bearing and non-fruit-bearing trees
• livelihood impacts
• public and government properties
• land parcels that may be left in small or irregular portions after acquisition

Forms were also distributed through village Sarpanches to collect information from affected families.

Consultation With Landowners

The scheme refers to consultation with affected landowners and public hearings. According to the notice, issues were considered:

• at the village level
• individually with affected persons

The findings of the Census Survey and the information received from affected families were then used while preparing the R&R Scheme.

What Types of Losses Were Considered?

The notice considers several categories of impact, including:

• loss of land
• houses and dairy farms
• fruit-bearing and non-fruit-bearing trees
• impact on livelihood
• persons whose primary means of livelihood may be affected
• public/community or government structures
• small pieces of land that may remain after part of a Khasra number is acquired

Compensation for Houses, Dairy Farms and Trees

The notice states that compensation for:

• houses
• dairy farms
• fruit-bearing trees
• non-fruit-bearing trees

would be paid according to the assessment made by the concerned department. The OCR text does not provide individual valuation amounts.

₹5 Lakh R&R Assistance

One of the important provisions visible in the notice states that: ₹5 lakh in Rehabilitation and Resettlement assistance is proposed for each eligible affected landowner's family, subject to the applicable provisions of the scheme. This amount should not automatically be treated as the entire compensation payable for the acquired land. Land compensation, compensation for buildings or trees, and R&R assistance can be separate components depending on eligibility and the final acquisition proceedings.

What About Remaining Small Land Parcels?

The notice also considers situations where acquisition of part of a Khasra number may leave a small or irregular portion of land. It states that the existing acquisition is being carried out according to the approved planning and that any remaining land parcel may be considered in the subsequent acquisition process, where applicable. Because this part of the OCR is not completely clear, the exact wording should be checked from the original document before describing the entitlement in more detail.

What Is Section 16 of the RFCTLARR Act?

Section 16 deals with preparation of the Rehabilitation and Resettlement Scheme for affected families. At this stage, authorities identify matters such as:

• which families are affected
• what property or livelihood may be lost
• what rehabilitation measures may be needed
• what R&R benefits may be available

This is different from an early Section 5 Social Impact Assessment hearing or a Section 11 preliminary acquisition notification.

Does This Mean the Acquisition Is Complete?

No. Preparation of an R&R Scheme does not by itself mean that:

• the final acquisition award has been announced
• all compensation has been determined
• compensation has been paid
• possession has been taken
• the acquisition proceedings have been completed

Further statutory stages may still follow.

What Should Affected Landowners Check?

Affected families and landowners should verify:

• their Khasra number
• the exact area proposed for acquisition
• ownership/share recorded in revenue records
• whether their family appears in the Census Survey
• houses, dairy farms, trees and other assets recorded against them
• livelihood impact
• eligibility for the ₹5 lakh R&R assistance
• other compensation or R&R benefit
• subsequent acquisition notifications and awards
