Question 2

How do the three-state title regime Delhi UP Uttarakhand rules differ?

Accepted Answer

Delhi uses Master Plan 2041 under DDA. UP requires Section 143 conversion under the Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act plus development authority layout sanction. Uttarakhand uses MDDA for urban areas and Bhu Kanoon 2025 outsider rules for the rest. The same expressway-facing plot has different document stacks in each state.

Question 3

Can outsiders buy agricultural land under the Uttarakhand Bhu Kanoon 2025 outsider ban?

Accepted Answer

No. The February 2025 amendment bars non-domicile buyers from agricultural or horticultural land in 11 of 13 hill districts including Dehradun. Outsider residential purchase is capped at 250 square metres residential cap Uttarakhand, one-time only, with mandatory affidavit declaration and a state-monitored digital portal.

Section 143 conversion under UP Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act is uniformly required for agricultural-to-residential change.

Question 7

Is RERA registration mandatory for plotted projects along the corridor?

Accepted Answer
