Question 1

Can I build a house on agricultural land in the AUDA zone?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, no. Agricultural land in the AUDA zone requires a formal Non-Agricultural (NA) conversion order before any construction. Permitted use after conversion depends on the village and zone designation. Always verify the NA order and zone classification before committing funds. Check your plot's zone on the 1acre Premium map (1acre.in/subscribe).

Question 2

What's the difference between R-1 and R-2 zones?

Accepted Answer

R-1 permits a higher base FSI (1.8, purchasable up to 2.7) than R-2 (base 1.2, purchasable up to 1.8), meaning more built-up area is possible on the same plot. R-1 plots are priced accordingly.

Question 3

What exactly is the R-AH zone?

Accepted Answer

It's the high-density housing belt running alongside the Sardar Patel Ring Road (~76 km). Your plot must sit inside a sanctioned TP Scheme before any of that FSI applies.

Question 4

Does the GIFT City expansion change anything for my plot?

Accepted Answer

It could. In June 2024, ~2,460 acres of GIFT City's proposed expansion zone was transferred from GIFT UDA to GUDA. The existing GIFT City core stays under GIFT UDA. If your seller is quoting approvals under the pre-June 2024 GIFT UDA expansion framework, those no longer hold — verify current GUDA zoning before you trust anything they show you.

Question 5

Why should I care about a TP Scheme?

Accepted Answer

Because without one, roads and utilities on your plot are just promises. A sanctioned TP Scheme means infrastructure is legally committed. Without it, especially on village fringes, you're essentially taking someone's word for it.

Question 6

Is being inside AUDA limits enough reassurance?

Accepted Answer

Not really. Plenty of plots inside AUDA are still restricted or unbuildable. Zone code, TP Scheme status, and NA conversion need to be checked separately, AUDA boundary alone tells you very little.

Question 7

What fraud should I actually worry about in Ahmedabad?

Accepted Answer

Fake ownership documents, forged signatures, fabricated death certificates, false thumb impressions. It happens more than people expect. Always cross-check the seller's name on the Record of Rights through Gujarat's Revenue portal yourself.
