Notice Overview

The Land Acquisition Collector, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Punjab has issued a public notice regarding an extension of the deadline for submitting Land Pooling Forms for landowners connected with:

• Eco City-3 Scheme
• Low/High Density Scheme

The extension follows a Land Pooling Policy issued by the Punjab Government on 6 July 2026.

What Has Changed?

According to the notice, the Land Pooling Policy dated 6 July 2026 extends the benefits of Special LOIs (Letters of Intent) retrospectively to both the Eco City-3 Scheme and the Low/High Density Scheme. Following this policy change, landowners have been given additional time to submit their land-pooling forms.

Extended Deadlines

The revised last dates are:

These deadlines are particularly important for landowners who have not yet exercised their land-pooling option or who wish to avail themselves of the benefits associated with the Special LOIs.

What About Landowners Who Already Submitted Their Forms?

The notice clearly states that landowners who have already submitted their Land Pooling Forms do not need to submit them again. Their previously submitted forms will continue to be considered under the applicable process.

Who Needs to Take Action?

The extended deadline is relevant to landowners who:

• have not yet submitted their Land Pooling Forms
• wish to avail themselves of the benefits of the Special LOIs under the amended policy

Such landowners can submit the prescribed forms to the office of the Land Acquisition Collector within the revised deadline applicable to their scheme.

Where Can Landowners Get the Form?

The prescribed Land Pooling Forms can be:

• downloaded from the official GMADA website at gmada.gov.in
• obtained directly from the office of the Land Acquisition Collector

Completed forms must be submitted within the stipulated period stated in the notice.

What Is Important About the Special LOI Provision?

A key part of this notice is the extension of the Special LOI benefits to landowners covered by the Eco City-3 and Low/High Density schemes.The notice states that these benefits have been extended retrospectively under the Land Pooling Policy dated 6 July 2026. However, the notice provided here does not explain the detailed entitlement, plot size, eligibility criteria or other conditions attached to a Special LOI. Landowners should therefore check the original Land Pooling Policy and applicable GMADA documents before deciding which option is appropriate for their land.

What Does This Mean for Eco City-3 Landowners?

For affected Eco City-3 landowners, the notice provides another opportunity to opt for land pooling under the revised policy. Those who had not submitted their forms were given until 17 August 2026. Landowners who had already submitted a form were specifically told that no fresh submission was required.

What Does This Mean for the Low/High Density Scheme?

Landowners covered by the Low/High Density Scheme were given a longer period, with the deadline extended to:17 September 2026. Eligible landowners wishing to use the revised land-pooling provisions or Special LOI benefits were required to submit their forms within this period.

Location and Context

Eco City-III forms part of the broader Eco City initiative under GMADA, aimed at transforming the Greater Mohali area into a well-planned urban environment. The project enhances connectivity and access to key transport routes, aligning with GMADA's urban development goals. It is designed to promote sustainable living, integrating ample green spaces, efficient infrastructure, and modern amenities to improve the quality of life for future residents.

Background of the Eco City Initiative

The Eco City initiative reflects GMADA's vision for developing sustainable urban spaces within Greater Mohali. This transformative project involves a land pooling approach, whereby GMADA encourages landowners to consolidate their properties, facilitating coherent urban development. Notices regarding land pooling options were previously issued in March and April 2026, illustrating GMADA's ongoing efforts to maintain transparency and engagement with stakeholders. The Eco City-III project demonstrates a continuation of these efforts, aimed at realizing a comprehensively planned urban area that meets contemporary demands.

Importance of the Land Pooling Initiative

The Punjab Government revised its Land Pooling Policy on 6 July 2026 and extended the benefit of Special LOIs to the Eco City-3 and Low/High Density schemes. Because of this change, GMADA extended the deadline for landowners to submit their land-pooling forms. The revised deadlines were:

• Eco City-3: 17 August 2026
• Low/High Density Scheme: 17 September 2026

Landowners who had already submitted their forms did not need to submit them again. Those who had not yet applied, or who wanted to claim benefits available under the Special LOI provisions, could submit their forms within the extended period.
