A Complete Guide for NRIs: What NA Land You Can Buy in IndiaMaharashtra Eases Land Fragmentation Rules; 60 Lakh Families to Receive Ownership Relief
The Maharashtra government has introduced major reforms to ease land fragmentation restrictions, enabling the legalisation of thousands of small land parcels. This move is expected to benefit 60 lakh families who have struggled for decades to secure legal land ownership due to technical violations under the Fragmentation (Tukdebandi) Act.
1. Key Decision Highlights
- Government eases land fragmentation rules across Maharashtra.
- Around 60 lakh families (nearly three crore individuals) are to gain clarity on legal ownership.
- Past land transactions violating fragmentation norms can now be regularised.
- Major administrative relief for small landholders and middle-class families.
2. Removal of Restrictive Remarks on 7/12 Extract
- The remark “transaction against the Fragmentation Act” will be removed from land records.
- This allows previously irregular or small, fragmented plots to be recognised as legal.
- Thousands of landowners will now be able to update ownership entries without obstacles.
3. Time Period of Eligible Transactions
Regularisation applies to deals made between:
- 15 November 1965 and
- October 2024
- Covers decades of informal or partially documented land transactions.
- Mutation entries that were earlier cancelled will be re-evaluated and approved.
4. Areas Where the New Rules Apply
The reform covers multiple planning, urban, and semi-urban regions, including:
- MMRDA, PMRDA, NMRDA areas
- Municipal corporation and council limits
- Residential and commercial zones
- Cantonment board areas
- Non-agricultural (NA) designated zones
- Peri-urban village zones
This ensures both urban and adjoining rural belt families receive benefits.
5. Regularisation of Notarised or Unregistered Land Deals
In the past, notarised agreements rather than official sale deeds were used for a large number of land transactions in Maharashtra. The new process provides relief: circle officers and talathis will help with deed registration.
- At the time of registration, landowners must pay stamp duty.
- Names will be added to the 7/12 extract as legitimate occupants following registration.
- This gives "gunthewari-style" informal land sales the much-needed recognition they deserve.
6. Effect on Transfer and Ownership Rights
All prior limitations on sale, transfer, or redevelopment will be lifted after regularisation is finished.
Full legal rights will be granted to owners, allowing:
- Property sale
- Lending money through mortgages
- Permissions for redevelopment
- Land will become legally tradable and have a more distinct market value.
7. Part of a Larger Policy Reversal
The state’s decision is linked to broader amendments to the Fragmentation Act:
- The Fragmentation Act was relaxed or repealed in urban and NA areas.
- Plots up to 1 guntha (1,089 sq ft) created before 1 January 2025 can be legalised.
- No penalty or regularisation fee to be charged — the process is free of cost.
- A state-level committee is preparing a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for implementation.
Land Registry Rules 2025: A New Era of Digital Property Registration in India
- Fully Digital Registration
Property registrations will now happen completely online.
No more long queues or physical visits to government offices.

Property values will follow a standardized and fair pricing model.
Helps avoid price manipulation and confusion.

A new system will be set up to handle property disputes efficiently.
Focuses on fast and fair resolutions.
- Rural Access Made Easy
Even people in remote villages can access the system online.
Designed to be user-friendly and inclusive.
Rollout Plan
The system will be implemented in phases throughout 2025 to ensure smooth transition.
- Benefits to the Public
- More transparency in property dealings
- Faster processes and reduced paperwork
- Stronger security against fraud
- Inclusive access for all regions
- Cost savings from reduced travel and documentation
- Standard pricing ensures fairness
- Live tracking of registration status
- Less legal hassle through quick resolution of conflicts

PCMCs Demolition Drive Sparks Protests as Town Planning Schemes Loom in Chikhali Kudalwadi
The Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has come under fire from residents after the demolition of over 4,500 unauthorised structures in Chikhali-Kudalwadi. The aggressive drive, carried out as part of the civic body's efforts to reclaim land and initiate organised development, is linked to the launch of proposed Town Planning (TP) schemes in the area.
The PCMC has notified plans for two major TP schemes—one spanning 380 hectares in Chikhali-Kudalwadi and another covering 1,425 hectares in Charholi. These schemes are a part of the city's overall vision for orderly urban development, which seeks to solve the issues created by unorganised development and unauthorised buildings.
But the civic body's action has sparked mass unrest among residents, many of whom say they were not provided with adequate notice or alternative arrangements before their houses and buildings were razed. The situation escalated last week when a group of angry locals staged protests, shouting slogans and burning copies of the notification in a show of defiance.
Residents allege that the TP schemes disproportionately favour builders and developers at the cost of ordinary citizens who have lived in the area for years. The incident underscores the complex challenges that come with urban expansion, balancing civic planning with the rights of those directly affected.
As Pimpri-Chinchwad continues to grow, the success of these TP schemes may depend not just on the plans themselves, but on how well authorities can engage with, reassure, and include the communities they aim to transform.
