Overview
- The Legislative Assembly cleared the 2025 amendment, which the government says will aid about 60 lakh families, or nearly three crore urban residents.
- Eligible small plots in urban and peripheral permissible-use areas will be deemed regularised, enabling independent owner entries on the 7/12 record.
- In zones covered by approved development or regional plans, repeated Non-Agricultural permissions are removed, with completion allowed via a one-time premium.
- The government clarified no new plot fragmentation is permitted after October 15, 2024, and the change is not a blanket rural regularisation.
- Opposition members warned of potential builder gains and pressed for planning standards such as nine-metre roads and drainage, as district collectors were tasked to coordinate implementation with local representatives.
