Maharashtra eyes own land Act

By
The Maharashtra government is exploring options to bring in its own Act on land acquisition or to amend the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act. The government wanted to continue using Maharashtra Industrial Development Act, 1961, for industrial projects but adhere to the provisions of the higher compensation proposed in the present Act ( LAAR Act).
The government had assured higher compensation to landowners through negotiations and consent route when land was being acquired for industrial purpose.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had at the NITI Aayog meeting on Wednesday said the Centre had retained the right to exempt social- impact assessment ( SIA) and the consent clause for acquisition under the LARR Act, 2013, while states had not been given this flexibility. A state revenue official said the government would in its new Act give more clarity to contentious issues relating to compensation, social impact assessment, consent and redressal.
As far as land acquisition for industrial purpose was concerned, the industry department official said the Centre had turned down the states request to exempt the Maharashtra Industrial Development Act, 1961 from the LARR Act.
