Right to Fair Compensation & Transperancy in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation & Resettlement Act, 2013

This authoritative edition of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation & Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR) consolidates the bare Act, allied Rules and practitioner-focused annexures to guide fair, transparent and legally compliant acquisition and resettlement processes. The book explains critical stages: notification and determination of public purpose, Social Impact Assessment (SIA) procedures, consent requirements (including consent percentages for land acquired for private projects), the statutory compensation formula (including market value, solatium and rehabilitation entitlements), and comprehensive rehabilitation and resettlement measures covering housing, employment, subsistence allowances and alternative livelihood support. Practical aids include worked examples of compensation calculations, sample SIA and R&R plans, consent and objection templates, land acquisition timelines, state-specific notification references and an index of landmark judicial decisions shaping RFCTLARR implementation. Carefully indexed with headnotes and cross-references to allied statutes (e.g., Land Acquisition Act predecessors and state rules), this edition is designed for rapid legal, administrative and field use — helping stakeholders minimize delays, avoid litigation traps and deliver equitable outcomes for affected communities.
