Amaravati land pooling, explained.

Start here

What land pooling actually changes

Owners contribute land to a planned development scheme. The authority combines and replans it, reserves land for roads, public uses and its share, and returns a smaller area as reconstituted residential and commercial plots under the applicable package.

This independent reading guide explains public records as checked on 21 September 2026. It is not an APCRDA service, a title certificate or a substitute for advice on a particular agreement.

2026 changes

Phase 2 is progressing through notices

APCRDA’s Phase 2 directory now includes Mothadaka as well as the earlier seven-village programme. Nine published unit notices cover eight village headings because Pedaparimi is split into two units. The linked documents are declarations of intention (Notification-I).

G.O.252 (2 December 2025) authorised 16,666.57 acres of patta plus assigned land across seven villages. Its roughly 20,494-acre geographic figure is a different measure. Later notices use a mixture of RSR area and area excluding government land. Adding these numbers into a single “acres already pooled” total would be misleading.

No scheme-wide current consent total, final allotment register or development-completion status has been established by these intent notices. Publication alone does not show that every owner has joined. Dates shown below are notice dates; objection periods run from publication, subject to applicable orders.

Village & survey records

Start with the document for your village

Nine Phase 2 notices and 30 original village/unit schedules. Search the original schedules by main survey number. A reference helps you find evidence; it does not decide whether a holding is eligible or already pooled.

Which rules apply

Capital City and Capital Region are different legal tracks

The familiar “Phase 1 / Phase 2” labels help navigation. The legal test is the notified area and the rules cited in the actual notice and signed deed.

A recent transaction inside the Capital City does not automatically put the land under the 2025 Rules. Obtain the current consolidated rules and certified case documents from the competent authority before signing.

Return plots

How much developed land is returnable?

The standard patta package is expressed per acre surrendered. Residential and commercial entitlements are separate. The final title classification, admitted extent, plot-size options and allotment determine the actual result.

For illustration, two admitted acres of dry patta land correspond arithmetically to 2,000 sq yd residential plus 500 sq yd commercial entitlement. This is not a promise of two specific plots, a particular frontage or a market value. One acre is 4,840 sq yd.

Jareebu describes the recognised land category in the record; it is not a label to choose because a site is near water. Specified village benefits and assigned-land rules can differ. Use the entitlement recorded by the authority.

The unreturned area supports roads, open spaces, social uses and the authority’s share under the scheme. An agricultural acre and a return plot are different assets; no appreciation or investment return is assured.

Annuity and assistance

Match the payment to the agreement cohort

Do not combine rates from different years or restart an older participant’s clock. A rate in a rule is an entitlement provision, not proof that payment has been received.

For a real payment question, collect the agreement date, eligible acreage/category, annuity year, sanctioned amount and bank credit record. This guide does not establish payment arrears for any individual.

Allotment

From survey number to allotted plot

Keep a dated copy of the document at each stage. The stages below explain the 2025 Capital Region route; the original Capital City form equivalents follow underneath.

1. 1. Confirm the notified land

   Match village, survey/subdivision, boundaries and extent against Notification-I, its schedules, FMB and revenue records. Submit objections within the published period and retain the hearing/order record.

2. 2. Establish authority and give consent

   Form I records consent; Form II acknowledges it. The authority checks title, joint interests, land class, assigned-land eligibility and disputes. A public name or a GIS match does not replace these checks.

3. 3. Record surrender and the contract

   Form III records surrender of title and possession; Form IV acknowledges surrender and entitlements. Form V sets the authority’s contractual duties. Read the actual completed documents together before execution.

4. 4. Record plot preferences

   After the May 2026 amendment, preferences are submitted separately in Form V-A after execution of Form V. Joint owners may state their preference for joint or separate plots. A preference is not a guaranteed location.

5. 5. Review the draft and final scheme

   Notification-II publishes the draft for responses; Notification-III is the final scheme after the authority considers them. If the boundary changes, obtain the applicable modified notification as well.

6. 6. Attend allocation and obtain the LPOC

   Rule 18 requires fair, transparent drawing of lots and excludes road-hit “veedi sula” plots from allotment. Obtain the allotment record, Form VI LPOC, plot sketch, area, use and boundaries; reconcile the new registration/revenue entries.

7. 7. Verify possession and services separately

   Get the physical handover record and survey the allotted plot. Check roads, drainage, water, sewerage, electricity and the written completion record against the development scheme. An LPOC alone does not prove all amenities are operational.

The agreement

Read the development agreement as a set of obligations

The signed form, its schedules and subsequent amendments matter more than a brochure. These are the clauses to have explained against your own documents.

Development milestones

Three clocks, with different starting points

These are duties in the published 2025 Rules and Form V, not a statement that work has already been completed. Rule 20(3) allows the authority to extend activity timelines for valid reasons.

The original 2015 Rules use different triggers: Rule 11 sets marking/allotment/LPOC stages after final notification; Rule 12 provides for possession within twelve months and phased infrastructure within three years of the final LPS. Form 9.14 also addresses a supplementary allocation agreement within 270 days of scheme sanction. Do not substitute the newer LPOC-based development clock into an older deed.

To assess delay, first assemble the actual surrender date, final notification, LPOC, handover and any reasoned extension orders. Check site progress against the approved scope rather than using an announcement as a completion certificate.

Eligibility and exclusions

Not every holding gets the patta package

Assigned land, government land, disputed interests and existing layouts require their own rule-based decision. An entry in a village schedule does not settle that decision.

These categories are condensed for orientation. Their conditions, exclusions and adjudication cannot be replaced by the table. Original Capital City assigned-land entitlements must be checked against its own amendments, not this 2025 table.

For owners and buyers

The documents that connect the chain

Use this checklist for the specific property. Keep official-source facts, seller statements, calculations and independent checks separate.

Under 2025 Rule 15(4), a sale before LPOC requires the competent authority’s NOC and the purchaser’s irrevocable consent to participate in LPS. A private receipt or a survey-map screenshot cannot substitute for those requirements.

Scope and vocabulary

How to use this dossier responsibly

This edition brings together the public statutory documents, amendments, original village schedule links and Phase 2 notices found and checked for this research. It is a dated research edition, not a claim that every unindexed office file or later individual order is online.

The original index contains 30 village/unit rows. We extracted only distinct main survey numbers from the survey-reference column of the linked 2015 intent workbooks; subdivision suffixes and all personal fields are omitted. These are document appearances, not a certified register of surrendered land. A small number of nonstandard cells could not be parsed. Supplementary notices, revisions and current revenue records must be checked separately. Some workbooks overlap unit coverage or contain unusual numeric survey references (for example, 5372 in the Nowlur workbooks). Such entries are document references, not corrections to an official boundary; confirm the intended survey/subdivision with the authority.

Phase 2 notices enumerate broad survey ranges for Vykuntapuram and the two Pedaparimi units. The other six refer to Webland without reproducing a complete survey list. We have not filled those gaps with guessed ranges. Village-heading discrepancies are flagged beside the relevant notice.

Official original spreadsheets may themselves contain personal information. We link to the official source but publish no extracted owner names, identification numbers, account details or contact lists. The public finder contains only village/unit and main survey references.

Terminology: patta = the relevant private-title category; Jareebu = the recognised irrigated/multi-crop category; RSR = Resurvey and Settlement Register; FMB = Field Measurement Book; gramakantam = village-site land in the applicable record; LPOC = Land Pooling Ownership Certificate; reconstituted plot = the return plot created by the scheme. English summaries do not replace the notified legal text.

Not established here: a certified current owner register, complete current Phase 2 subdivision schedule, per-owner consent/payment status, plot-by-plot completion, or the outcome of every court proceeding. Use the specific official file and independent legal/site verification for a transaction.
