The concept of land readjustment is to assemble small rural land parcels into a large land parcel, provide it with infrastructure in a planned manner and return the reconstituted land to the owners, after deducting the cost of the provision of infrastructure and public spaces by the sale of some of serviced land
Land Pooling Steps
The main steps and stages in carrying out a typical pooling project can be listed as follows:
1. Identification of the group of adjoining landholdings for pooling which is then designated as the land pooling area;
2. Assessment of the value of each landholding in order to calculate each landowner’s share in the project;
3. Preparation of a draft pooling scheme (and supporting financial plan) in consultation with the landowners and the relevant government authorities (the highway, public utility, etc. authorities);
4. Public exhibition, review and amendment of the draft scheme followed by central government approval of the final scheme and its publication;
5. Preparation of engineering works designs;
6. Compulsory acquisition and consolidation of the landholdings, roads, etc. in the designated pooling area;
7. Raising of short-term loan for working capital;
8. Carrying out of land servicing and subdivision works by contractors and relevant government authorities;
9. Physical and legal subdivision of land into streets, parkland and sites for buildings;
10. Sale of some of the building sites to recover costs and repay the loan;
11. Distribution of the other sites to the landowners; and
12. Final cash adjustments to achieve each landowner’s precise share of the project.
In Town Planning or Plot Reconstitution Scheme, the land is pooled and its development is financed with the involvement of landowners without compulsorily acquiring land. This land assembly technique helps to provide plots with basic services in a planned layout from the original haphazard arrangement. Costs incurred by developmental authority for development and provision of infrastructure are recovered from the sale of the final land plots reserved by the authority and charges levied on landowners.
The land pooling technique is a mechanism for temporary pooling of different land for a unified planning and thereafter sub-dividing and collecting betterment charges to finance the infrastructure works. In addition, the local authority can secure land free of cost for public purposes and EWS housing after returning part of the developed land to original landowners. The reconstituted plots are allotted to the land owners in proportion to their original land holdings.
The scheme was first introduced in the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 and later in Gujarat Town Planning & Urban Development Act, 1976 and is now widely accepted model of land assembly. Another deviation of the land pooling mechanism has been recently introduced by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA).
