New rules for farm land registration in Telangana

Registration of farm plots not possible if its area is less than 2,000 square meters (20 guntas) and approved layout copy required if the farm plot abuts a new road

Hyderabad: The Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department Principal Secretary Arvind Kumar has asked the IG Stamps and Registrations to issue necessary instructions to all the registering authorities not to allow registration of farm plots if its area is less than 2,000 square meters (20 guntas) and insist for approved layout copy if the farm plot abuts a new road.

In a memo, he said the Telangana Municipalities Act-2019 and the Telangana Panchayat Raj Act-2018 provide for safeguards against the registration of unapproved plots, sub-divisions, buildings and structure.

In view of these provisions, the IG Stamps and Registrations issued orders prohibiting registration of plots in unauthorized layouts. This step has given desired results to curb unauthorized layouts.

However, it has come to the notice of the State government that some land owners or layout developers were still continuing with development of unauthorized layouts in the name of farm lands and executing sale deeds as farm plots of 2/3 guntas, which needs to be curtailed, he said.

Accordingly, the IG Registrations was requested to issue necessary instructions to all the registering authorities not to allow registration of farm plots if its area is less than 2,000 square meters (20 guntas), he added.
