FIXED
NORMS FOR DETERMINING LAND RATE (CIRCLE RATE SHOULD BE MARKET RATE, WITH
MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SALE PRICE), ENHANCEMENT OF LAND RATE ON PAR WITH BANK INTEREST RATE
PERIODICALLY VILLAGE WISE, WARD WISE FOR REAL DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTRY, INCLUSIVE
GROWTH OF ALL SECTIONS.
It is very sad that in the largest
democracy of world, the inequalities among the income group is so wide, all
those become rich mainly because of possession of land, So land is the basic
substance for growth and happiness, at the same time land is the substance for
sorrow for many as the land values getting appreciated irritatingly along the
length and breadth of country, which lead to land grabbing and illegitimate
means to earn monitory gains, the original owners getting sufferings due to the
irrational rise of land value and hard earned properties are under court
litigation, also since land value is on rise even in rural areas irrationally
due to vested interests in the name of projects announcement by government and
creating fear psychosis among the semi literate/ illiterate people that
government will take away their land with minimum compensation, where as they
can offer better price than government (and grab the land from them at cheap
rate and get wind fall gains once the projects commissioned, this is modous-operanda
of many land mafias in nexus with political and bureaucratic sections locally),
most of the rural land holders (small and marginal farmers selling the land
mostly un willingly due to pressure or sometimes willingly to getting migrated
to cities due to lack of agriculture activities and turning to urban labour).
It is high time since all non ruling
political parties come together opposing the Land Bill in the present form,
millions of people appreciate their concern, however many feel that it is for
the sake of political gains and not really intended as, it is very necessary to
ensure development occurs due to rapid urbanisation, which requires appropriate
necessary infrastructure, for which land is required?, also since India is
having largest Youth populations, Jobs are needed, also at the same time need
to feed 130+ core people every day by protecting the interests of farming
community, which in turn requires creation of infrastructure especially at
rural areas in the interest of farmers as well as entire population of the
country, the rural infrastructure include POWER, IRRIGATION DAMS, STORAGE
GODOWAN’s, TRANSPORTATION OF AGRICULTURE PRODUCE, it is very unfortunate even
after 68 years of Independence millions children are malnourished due to lack
of proper food, at the same time DUE TO LACK OF PROPER STORAGE FACILITY AND
PROPER TRANSPORT FACILITY FROM RURAL TO URBAN AREAS AND DUE TO LACK OF APPROPRIATE
FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES IN RURAL AREAS, MILLIONS OF TONNES OF AGRICULTURE
PRODUCE IS GETTING WASTED/ROTTEN, WHICH OTHERWISE LEAVING LOSS TO THE FARMERS
AS WELL THE ENTIRE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY, which can be contained by creating
such infrastructure facilities which require land at rural areas, So in such unavoidable
situations the cultivatable land for creating infrastructure like High
way corridors, Railway lines/Sidings, Power transmission lines can be used, or
even Irrigation Dams, if the design creates optimum route/ cost
effective route/project, then the cultivatable land can be used
for this purpose, however government should not acquire more than double the land required for creation of such
amenities keeping buffer land for future expansion needs, and in no case
government should acquire even one time cultivatable land for any other
projects in the name of infrastructure creation, other than the specified
above, also government should clearly specify in the bill itself that the definition,
categories falling under common good infrastructure projects, never for SEZ’s
to give it to private developers/investors for establishment of private
industries even industries like which are necessary in infrastructure creation
such as power, cement, steel , petro chemicals, fertilizers etc, in order to
boost confidence in farming community and for clarity government must clearly
specify in the act that no consent of farmers/ land owners required only for common
good infrastructure projects and in no case government will allocate the land
acquired for this purpose to private developers for other than this purpose. (COUNTRY WIDE,
VILLAGE WISE/ WARD WISE GEO MAPPING OF LAND USE SHOULD BE MADE ON
WEBSITE FOR PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING, CLEARLY MENTIONING THE AGRICULTURAL LAND, ONE
TIME CROPS LANDS, TWO TIME CROP LANDS, THE RAILWAY LINES, HIGHWAYS, THE PROJECT
CORRIDORS, RESIDENTIAL HABITATIONS ETC, THE DETAILS OF INDUSTRIES, WHAT ARE EFFLUENT EMISSIONS EACH INDUSTRY
DISCHARGE IN THE PROCESS OF PRODUCTION IN THAT VICINITY, THE PLACES OF
STORAGE/DISPOSAL OF EFFLUENTS, THE ILL EFFECTS OF SUCH UNTREATED EFFLUENTS, THE
RADIUS OF EFFECTS ETC, THE ADVANTAGES OF PROJECTS ETC FOR PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING
AND SCRUTINY); Since the % of such cultivatable land lost due to creation of
infrastructure on the cultivatable land for common good infrastructure projects
is very fraction compared the overall cultivatable land in the country, also
the benefits the farming community and people of the country due infrastructure
created on such lands is huge compared to the yield value of the lost
cultivated land, the government can acquire lands for such projects without the
consent of farmers, after basic SEIA, EnIA studies, clearance; it is a hard
fact to understand and sympathy for the farmers who lost their land as there
will certainly a great amount of pain, agony in the farmers who lost their
land, being having emotional attachment for decades with the land which
provided livelihood, food, shelter for them; such loss/ trauma cannot be
compensated with just one time settlement (suppose the cost of acre is Rs ten
thousand, government giving 4 times compensation i.e forty thousand, then hoe
come government expect that the family of say 4 of the farmer survive lifelong
with 40 thousand?) in order to compensate such loss/trauma, it is necessary to
value adequately their sacrifice/contribution to common good, the government must value sacrifices appropriately,
they should be adequately compensated by rehabilitation at choice place, giving
another property with similar soil conditions in case farmers wish to do so,, in
addition they should be given either salary (job for the eligible in the family
if they opt for)/ or lifelong monthly pension based on the average yield per acre
in that territory as a permanent lifelong incentive to lead dignified
comfortable life, since the land which they possessed otherwise gives them
lifelong income which was lost by farmer permanently by giving it for
infrastructure development?. For this purpose government must create a special
corpus fund, and like any other retired government employee getting pension,
same provisions should be applicable here also.
If the so called POLITICAL PARTIES
CUTTING across party lines whether Ruling or non ruling, also all NGO’S, also
all so called ACTIVISTS, if any real commitment towards real inclusive growth
of all sections of people persists in them, possess real heart/intention
towards providing dignified livelihood for the downtrodden, under privileged
sections of the society, wish proper infrastructure for better living
conditions of all sections of society exists, wish creation of employment to
the youth of the country, while maintaining rights of the farmers, they should
make sure they will help the farmers in fixing/ addressing ground issues
farmers facing, rather than just implanting fear psychosis among the already
suffering farmer sections by just propagating only ill effects of the land bill
rather than providing solution to the issues, (it is certainly true to a large
extent that majority of the people who are doing protests or going to do
protests are mediocre about the land bill, and only peril they have that
government going to snatch away their land and lively hood, which was otherwise
implanted by the vested interest political/NGO/activists implanted?) the issues
already existing pertaining to cultivatable land need to be addressed first, as
such it is necessary, need of the hour to BRING STRINGENT LAND LAWS & REGULATE THE LAND PRICING, LINKING
APPRECIATION OF LAND VALUE TO THE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE RESPECTIVE
TERRITORIES (whether commercial, residential, agricultural) in a rational,
systematic manner.
As it is a fact that when so called all
non ruling political parties are doing agitation sighting that the proposed new
land bill will give power to government grab the land from farmers/ land owners
at will in the name of infrastructure projects (since government did not
elaborate about the meaning of infrastructure projects, also for which
infrastructure projects the consent of farmers/ land owners is not necessary, also
government did not assure that the land acquired by government will be used only for common good infrastructure
projects in the larger public interest purposes and will not give it for
industry, hospitality/ entertainment /sports development etc etc for private
investors, other than PPP projects); but most strangely these political parties
and NGO’s ignoring the land grabbing of “Land Sharks/ Land Mafias who are in nexus
with political and business class, grabbing the land from the poor and middle
class (making it a dispute, and going to court and either languish in court for
decades or come for out of court settlement and genuine hard earned money
invested in land/property by the poor and middle class being taken away due the
the apperception of land value several times, it become a common syndrome in
every part of the country, and helplessly the poor and middle class are obeying
for the settlement due to the financial inability to bare the legal costs, and also
unable to wait till decades for
judgment, also not able to bear the threat perception from the anti social land
crabbing gangs, they are settling land issue for less than 50% of their land
value of the actual value and selling the land to the persons who are in nexus
with land mafias, it is mainly due to
lack of appropriate strength of Judiciary to dispose the case in a time bound
manner, also lack of stringent punishments for land grabbing; several millions of cases pertaining to land
are still in trail case for decades. So if the so called political class /
NGO’s who are agitating against government for land bill, should ensure
positive pressure is created on government to ensure the JUSTICE SYSTEM REFORMS
(JUDICIARY, POLICE, OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES); ensure more number (at
least DOUBLE THE PRESENT STRENGTH AT ALL LEVELS) of JUDGES and supporting staff
are recruited through creating JUDICIAL SERVICE COMMISSION at State and
Central, MAINTAINING RESERVATION FOR SC ST OBC at ALL LEVELS OF JUDICIARY, also
creation of appropriate necessary infrastructure, in addition creation of
MORNING AND EVENING COURTS to ensure speedy justice happens? And all pending
land cases are disposed within a short span, say two to three years, which will
relive millions of people who are under acute stress due to their hard earned
property is under court litigation, pending justice?
Also in case the so called political
parties and NGO’s who are fighting the government for land bill as if they are
fully in service to the downtrodden people of the country, SHOULD CREATE
POSITIVE PRESSURE ON GOVERNMENT FOR ENACTING STRINGENT PUNISHMENTS FOR LAND
GRABBING, ALL THE LAND GRABBING CASES SHOULD BE NON BAIL ABLE, SHOULD ATTRACT LIFE IMPRISONMENT ON PAR
MURDER CASE/RAPE CASE, THE special act for protecting land of from land
grabbers/ anti social elements, should be in place for containing land grabbing
cases; since the land value is appreciated several times year after year
without any fixed/uniform reason (rational), the poor and middle class, even
some of the upper class, invest their lifelong savings to own a property to
enjoy peaceful retired life either in urban area (mostly outskirts) or rural
area, when the cost is affordable, but due to rapid urbanisation /
industrialisation if any projects come near that outskirt area after few years
of purchase, which is otherwise far away from habitation at the time of
purchase, now become more valued land, then the land mafias are grabbing such
land and asking for settlement or sell it at throw away price or price at which
it was purchased, in the process the investment made by the poor/ middle class
for future with their hard saving, saving on food, health care and decades of
hopes is being tarnished by these land
mafias with the indirect support of political class and also some corrupt
police. In case such law is enacted
protecting the right/ interest of land owners, the land grabbing cases can be
marginalised, This will really prove that the so called POLITICAL CLASS cutting
across party lines, NGO’s have real intention of protecting interest of common
people and downtrodden sections?
Also if the So called political class/
NGO’s who are for and pro the land bill should ensure that their party carder
and their NGO go around each village in the country and identify the factories which
are spreading pollution fluids, gases (untreated
effluent fluids being discharged into soil adjacent to the factory) in the
vicinity of the village, which otherwise polluting the soil, ground water
table, and ponds/ rivers, which are the source of land and water for
cultivation for the farmers and ensure the effluents are treated and no polluted
water is left in the nearby agriculture fields and water bodies? Can’t they do
it???, as the total yield of cultivation getting drastically reduced in these
polluted soils, using polluted water, also the cost of production is on rise
due to need for excessive requirement of fertilizers in these kind of soils,
also in some cases the land is un usable for cultivation due the soil become poisonous
and the yield will not be useful for consumption by humans and cattle, it is a
hard fact that millions of acres of cultivation, production of food grains is
being effected due to this kind of polluted soils, polluted water bodies; Also
another major deterrent for cultivation and loss of cultivatable land is due to
encroachments of water bodies, river streams, cannels by vested interests, so the political class and NGO’s should make
their party carder activate and identify the encroachments in water bodies near
to villages which are otherwise blocking the water meant for cultivation and
ensure the government authorities clear the encroachments near water bodies,
cannels, water channels, river streams,
ensuring free flow of water, more water available for cultivation. (GOVERNMENT
MUST DO CENTRALISED, DISTRICT WISE, VILLAGE/WARD WISE GEO MAPPING WITH DETAILS OF
WATER BODIES, RIVER STREAM, CANNELS AND MAKE IT AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET FOR
PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING AND NECESSARY ACTION FOR CLEARING ENCROACHMENTS) These
measures will certainly enhance millions of acres of cultivation??; If all political parties have will to do so,
really committed to help the farmers then they can do so, as After all every
political party has cadre in every village and most of them have either smart
phone or at least camera phone they should video record/ photograph the
effluents which are left freely by the factories in their village, in the
vicinity of cultivatable land, and untreated water being pumped/discharged into
fresh water bodies, river streams, cannels, also encroachments of water bodies
and up-load the same to website (a separate web site should be created for this
purpose, also ideal to develop a mobile app for this purpose so that the date
reaches the concerned state hierarchy in the government to act up on; also the
media can go along with them or go to the places where the effect is large
ensuring pressure is created on authorities to act up on?, after all, most of
the pollutant industries have nexus to local political leaders and also most of
the encroachments at water bodies are done by people with nexus to political
class or by the political class people themselves?) and In fact by this way they can save several
folds of cultivatable land than what the government going to take away in the
name of infrastructure projects through the land bill in the present form? This
will certainly save millions of Acers of
cultivatable land, in addition the yield
also more, more agricultural output, means less cost for common people, also in
the process they can save millions of live stock which are otherwise affected
by the harmful/ poisons polluted waters??
So Rather than just protesting at national capital, gaining attention of
national media, and the regional media takes the feed from national media? How
far this show put up agitations will solve real issues on the ground at
villages faced by farming sections? Is it not time to act on this in order to
protect the cultivatable land by all political parties?
Also the so called political class and
NGO’s who are opposing the land in the present form, as if they are only
interests in the farmers welfare and agricultural production of the country,
welfare of the downtrodden, THEN THEY SHOULD PROTECT THE CULTIVATABLE LAND OF
THE FARMERS BEING SEVERELY ABUSED BY USE OF GM/GE GENETICALLY MODIFIED/
GENETICALLY ENGINEERED SEEDS OF FOREIGN MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES, and ensure
government bans the use of GE/GM seeds cultivation, especially the contract
farming by corporate companies in food processing ho want to make quick profit
, more profit in short time and use the GE/GM seeds in the leased lands and use
excessive fertilizers to get more yield during the lease period, once they feel
that soil is turning to white elephant, they leave the soil (millions of hectors
of land being used in contract farming by giant MNC companies and other food
processing industries), as the GE/GM seeds once cultivates, after second crop
the land will not be useful for conventional/ traditional native INDIAN seeds
and only GE/GM seeds need to be used henceforth, also the GE/GM seeds needs
tailor / custom made pesticides which are expensive and every now and then the
GM/GE seed manufactures alter the structure of the seed and in some cases
ensure pest comes after crop grown for certain period and the pest can be
controlled by their pesticides only, in addition will consume lot of
fertilizers as GE/GM seeds drain away the nutrients from the soil and the soil
is life less and the entire once fertile
land becomes useless for cultivation, as in due course the fertilizer cost is
more than the cost of production as more quantities of fertilizers are needed
crop after crop (SOIL HEALTH CARD PROPOSED BY GOVERNMENT WHICH ARE GOING TO BE
ISSUED WILL CERTAINLY ESTABLISH THIS FACT, THE GOVERNMENT MUST START ISSUE OF
SOIL HEALTH CARDS IN THE REGIONS WHERE AT PRESENT GE/GM SEEDS ARE BEING USED SO
THAT THE FACT CAN BE ESTABLISHED IMMEDIATELY, TILL THAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT
HURRAY-LY ALLOW USE OF GE/GM SEEDS IN HORTICULTURE AND OTHER CROPS AS ALREADY
MNC GE/GM SEED PRODUCES CLAIMING TRAIL RUN
ARE SUCCESSFUL FOR THEM AND AWAITING GOVERNMENT NOD FOR INTRODUCTION
INTO MARKET?), farmers will land in debts, also over used fertilised/
pesticides foods on consuming leads to cancers and other health hazards who
consumes them? So if the real intension
of the So called political parties cutting across party lines if are really
interested in farmers and downtrodden then they should create positive pressure
on government to BAN GENETICALLY MODIFIED SEEDS / GENETICALLY ENGINEERED SEEDS
(GM/GE), creation, raise of NATIVE SEED BANKS and incentives for farmers for
using native seeds.
Also it is high time to protect the
farmers from loss due to duplicate seeds, adulterated pesticides/ fertilizers,
which are leaving misery for the farmers, hence government must protecting the
farmers from the loss occurred due to spurious, adulterated, duplicate seeds,
fertilizers, pesticides sale by the traders, THE CRIME FOR SELLING SPURIOUS,
ADULTERATED, DUPLICATE SEEDS, SUB STANDARD FERTILIZERS, PESTICIDES SHOULD BE A
NON BAIL-ABLE OFFENCE AND SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR LIFE IMPRISONMENT, AS IT IS
NOTHING BUT DELIBERATELY MAKING FARMERS
SUFFER DUE TO CROP FAILURE AS THE SELLERS ARE FULLY AWARE THAT THESE SUB STAND PRODUCTS WILL LEAD TO CROP FAILURE
OF TERRIBLE LOSS OF YIELD? Causing mental agony in addition to economic loss
for them, in addition this leads to rise in food costs due to over all low
yield of crop, which indirectly taking away quantity food from the poor
indirectly due to crop failure due to lack of food several people are becoming
malnourished and even few people might be dying due to lack of food?; also it
should be made mandatory that sale of seed, fertilizer, pesticides should be
recorded farmer wise, Village wise, for this
government must issue farmer smart cards (ideal soil health cards should
be linked/ integrated to this), ALL THE FARM INPUT RETAILERS SHOULD BE GIVEN
TABLET PC AND ASKED TO UP LOAD ON REAL TIME SALE OF SEEDS, FERTILIZERS,,
PESTICIDES ON A STANDARD FORMAT , WHERE GOVERNMENT CAN HAVE CENTRALISED
DATABANK AS PER VILLAGE, MANDAL, DISTRICT, STATE AND PRODUCT MANUFACTURER WISE,
SO THAT THE ANALYSIS OF DATA ON REAL TIME WILL CERTAINLY REDUCE THE SALE OF SUB
STANDARD PRODUCTS, AND GOVERNMENT MUST MAKE IT MANDATORY THAT PURCHASE BILLS
FOR THE FARM INPUTS VERY NECESSARY, AT THE SAME TIME FOR EVERY RETAILER SHOULD
BE ABLE TO EXECUTE THE SALE ONLY BY FEEDING THE FARMER ID CARD NUMBER AND THE
PAYMENT RECEIPT SHOULD BE FROM THE BANK CARD/ BANK CHEQUE OF THAT FARMER, ALSO
WITHOUT WHICH THE FARMERS SHOULD NOT BE ENTITLED FOR CROP INSURANCE, FOR THOSE
WHO DO NOT HAVE CROP INSURANCE GOVERNMENT MUST NOT EXTEND SUBSIDIES ON INPUTS
LIKE FREE/CONCESSIONAL POWER ETC; this can this will certainly contain the sale of
spurious inputs, the chances of crop failure will be marginalised, except due
to natural claimants, this measure will certainly ensure increase in production
which will enhance the dignity of living of farming community. The so called
political parties and NGO’s should work in this direction to put positive
pressure on government to enact law in this direction in the interest of
farmers?
Also if the o called political parties
cutting across party lines and So called NGO’s are really interested in the
well being of the farmers, then they should create positive pressure on government
for making it mandatory that farming activity should be done in cooperative
manner i.e few farmers whose lands are adjacent to each other form a
cooperative association giving some name to it for ensuring the size of
cultivatable land is substantial (if 20 farmers join together with average
holding of 1 acre each then the farm size become 20 acres) to form VACA Village
Agriculture Cooperative Association by some name say (123 VACA or XYZ VACA); in
addition the government must make it mandatory that in each VACA should adopt integrated farming, making ¼ of the VACA
cultivatable land should be used for raising horticulture crops like
vegetables. Fruits, in addition to raising of cattle /milking cows/ buffalos to
hens/ ducks, which will provide daily income to the VACA, also provide vegetables,
Milk, eggs for self consumption among the family members of VACA, providing
required nutritional food at very cheap rate, as they are rising them, the per
capta income will raise substantially in VACA system, the mal nourishment/
under nutrition problem can be fully eradicated due to availability of food
with nutritious values due to availability of vegetables, milk, eggs which were
produced by them in their farm, (when they are holding 0.75 hectors/ one hector
on an average, individual farmer wise all these measures are not possible, and
they are stressed due to managing the affairs alone, also the land is not
sufficient/ viable for simultaneously doing both horticulture, cattle rising
and farming main crop) also this VACA enables the members can take up other
activities during ideal time, as for one
acre farming they should be available all day in the farm, where as in the VACA
farming they need to be present once a
week or as decided among the members dividing work load, when their rotation
comes, also the cost of production can be reduced to some extent due to
mechanised farming in places where the availability of trained agriculture
labour is shortage, in VACA farming each member can spend more time on their family
welfare, marketing of their produce, may even establish food processing units either Medium, micro or
small enterprise, locally to earn more profits etc etc. Since
the benefits are enormous in cooperative farming in every village several VACA
should be formed by joining all the adjacent lands with each VACA not exceeding
20 to 50 acres of land depending up on the type of soil, which should be ideal
for obtaining more yield. In order to encourage VACA formations government must
provide incentives for VACA farming like concessions on fertilizers,
concessions on horticulture seeds, concessions on purchase of cattle etc. So
that more VACA’s are going to farmed in each village like Self Help Groups
(SHG),; in the event farmers want to cultivate individually for what so ever
reasons, they can continue to do so without having the advantage of special
concessions they are getting on farm inputs. This measure of VACA will ensure
more yield and improvement in the life style of the farmers. So the
political parties cutting across party lines should support this measure to be
made in the LAND BILL, if they are really interested in the well being of
farmers.
Also if the political class and NGO’s,
activists have real concern for farmers, they should create pressure on
government to procure the entire agriculture produce each village wise/mandal
wise, and then sell it to traders; in this process government must ensure
minimum support price for the farm produce (which should be at least 50% more
than the input costs including labour costs for arriving MINIMUM SUPPORT PRICE
TO THE FARMERS); ALSO GOVERNMENT MUST FIX A CAP ON MAXIMUM SELLING PRICE OF THE
FARM PRODUCE BY THE TRADERS AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS, BY FIXING THE MARK UP PRICE
BY THE TRADERS on the base price at which government supplied to them (FARMERS
ARE AT LIBERTY TO SELL TO GOVERNMENT OR SELL ON THEIR OWN IN THE NEAR BY
VICINITY IN RETAILING, FARMERS ARE
BARRED TO SELL IN BULK TO TRADERS IN VILLAGES, FARMERS NEED TO OBTAIN RETAIL
TRADING LICENCE FROM GOVERNMENT, IN ORDER TO ENCOURAGE FARMERS SELLING IN
RETAIL GOVERNMENT MUST PROVIDE SOME CONCESSIONS ON TRANSPORTATION ETC TO
FARMERS) , THE MARK UP PRICE SHOULD VARY FROM DISTRICT TO DISTRICT BASED ON THE
DISTANCE OF FRIGHT, SHELF LIFE ETC; also government must make it public the
village wise procurement of various food grains, the acreage crops in
cultivation, the total buffer stock, stock with traders etc on website ONLINE
REAL TIME DATA (ESPECIALLY FOOD GRAINS) and update the MAXIMUM SELLING price of
commodities, district wise, city wise (after adding mark up price on basic Minimum
Support Price, EITHER THERE SHOULD BE PROVISION FOR SUBSCRIPTION BY INDIVIDUAL
MOBILE PHONE USERS OR GOVERNMENT ON ITS OWN SHOULD SEND SMS ALERTS EVERY DALY
ABOUT THE MAXIMUM SELLING PRICE OF COMMODITIES (WHOLE SALE AND RETAIL FOR BOTH
NON PERISHABLE AND PERISHABLE, retail price based on the distance from the
whole sale market yard) which should include, packaging, handing,
transportation, margin for traders, whole sellers, retailers, Similar to
Pharmacy products which are under government control); ALSO ALL THE WHOLE SALE
SELLERS SHOULD BE GIVEN TABLET PC AND MAKE THEM MANDATORY TO UPLOAD THE DAILY
STOCK MOVEMENT, ALONG WITH PURCHASER NAME/MOBILE NUMBER, TAX REGISTRATION NUMBER,
ALL RECEIPTS ABOVE Rs 1,000 should be
through bank transaction, either though bank card, cheque or online transfer
and below Rs 1,000 mobile number of the buyer; ALSO THE WHOLE SALE PRICES/
RETAIL PRICES SHOULD BE GEO MAPPED (WARD/VILLAGE/TERRITORY WISE) ON REAL TIME
BASES AND SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE ON WEB SITE; THIS MEASURE WILL CERTAINLY
CONTAIN HORDING AND ARTIFICIAL PRICE RISE, ALSO PEOPLE WILL GET COMMODITIES AT
RIGHT PRICE; THIS MEASURE WILL CERTAINLY GIVE MEANING TO THE EFFORTS OF FARMERS
AS THEY FEEL THAT THEY GOT RIGHT PRICE FOR THEIR HARD EFFORTS, AT THE SAME TIME
PEOPLE WILL GET FOOD AT AFFORDABLE PRICE.
This will certainly change the Economic dynamics of the country, due to
availability of quality food at low costs, the malnourishment problems, anaemia
in girls and women problem can be fully get marginalised, healthy children,
youth leading to healthy work force all leading to healthy nation.
Also do these political class cutting
across party lines/ NGO’s think/ support some youth of the country becoming
rich overnight due appreciation of land value/ land rates increase abnormally
over night due to some or other reason, since till date there are no fixed
norms/ rational means to determine the market price of the land?, as their
parents, forefathers possess some piece of land so some youth become rich, and
without doing any substantial work they should live luxury life, where as the
other youth who are land less should remain as common man suffering lack
of amenities? STRANGE ? How do you justify this?; also some of
the crony capitalists acquire land from farmers at low cost and make
wind fall gains over night when any project is announced, by trading later, as
they gather information in advance that some project is going to come in that
nearby are and development activity going to happen, due to
the nexus between government officials, political class, which makes
poor farmers are losing lively hood where as the crony capitalists gaining
like anything.
Also one should give serious thought,
that When the money in bank earns only 8% to 10% return on savings to the
individual (otherwise the same money productively used by various people by
taking loan starting business and creating employment to several millions of
people), and also investment in the BULLION market (gold, silver) increase in
rate not crossing 15% a year at maximum, where as the land getting increased by
several times sometimes even 1,000 % the base cost year after year? Without any
substantial reason? why?, Because land rate is in getting appreciated/increases
several times mostly by the vested upper echelons, lot of vested interests,
crony capitalists used this and enjoying windfall gains ether trading the land
or mortgaging land in banks and some doing genuine business some even cheating
banks by just enjoying the availed loans without repayment? Why should this be
allowed to happen?. Also due to this even government want to acquire land
genuine development of infrastructure, people are un willing to give their
land, anticipating the fear of not only losing their lively hood, but also hope that their land value may get
appreciated several time over a period of time?
As a result several developmental projects are getting stalled?? Also It is due to land value getting
appreciated year after year, irrationally, even several families are
getting disintegrating as some of the family members want to enjoy life
without doing any work but selling hereditary properties
whose value got increased several folds? ALL THIS IS DUE
THE FACT THAT THERE ARE LACK OF FIXED NORMS FOR FIXING THE SALE PRICE OF LAND /
FIXING THE VALUE OF LAND?
So if the so called political parties
have really wish for the good of the people of the country, they should make
government of the day will AMEND THE LAND BILL and enact law for FIXING THE
LAND VALUE/RATE IN A UNIFORM/ RATIONAL MEANS without any scope for corrupt
practise, ensuring the CIRCLE RATE IS MARKET RATE, and MAKING A MEANINGFUL,
TRANSPARENT WAY OF DETERMINING LAND VALUE , GIVING PEOPLE THE CHOICE TO SELL WITHIN THE FIXED RATES
rather than a single fixed rate of either circle rate or market rate as various
properties has their own advantages based on their location. So the LAND VALUE
SHOULD HAVE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SALE
PRICE, THE LAND VALUATION SHOULD VARY EACH WARD WISE, VILLAGE WISE, BASED ON
FIXED PARAMETERS LIKE EXISTING AMENITIES/ DEVELOPMENT IN THAT TERRITORY, in
addition the RATE OF APPRECIATION/ ENHANCEMENT SHOULD BE ON PAR WITH BANK
INTEREST RATE PER YEAR which will be fixed either quarterly or half early; once
the authority fixes the base rate i.e MIN RATE i.e EQUIVALENT TO MARKET RATE,
THEN THE MAXIMUM VALUE CAN BE ARRIVED BY ADDING 20% MORE TO MINIMUM VALUE. The
difference of MINIMUM and MAXIMUM rate for the property/land should not be more
than 20%, the idea of Min Max rate instead of one CIRCLE RATE is due to the
fact that some lands have geographical advantage like adjacent to roads, dead ends, corner, near parks, water bodies,
beautiful view, vicinity to amenities like education institutions, hospitals
or any superstitious reasons seller or buyer believe etc also in some cases due
to so called vastu advantages etc etc giving the option to the seller to sell
within the MIN MAX rate in case of urban lands, also for rural lands like approach
roads, distance from the village centre/habitations, distance from market yard
etc, which will also create competition among the sellers and advantageous to
the buyers also. The MIN rate is circle rate/market rate.
For the purpose of fixing MIN MAX value of property in each village/ ward, there
should be an agency TERRITORIAL LAND RATE FIXATION AUTHORITY in Each District,
to determine MIN MAX RATE and the increase/appreciation the land value in
villages/ wards in that district. The
TERRITORIAL LAND RATE FIXATION AUTHORITY (TLRFA) should comprise members of
Revenue department, NGO’s, Farmers association, all recognised political party
representatives and representatives from
business/ trade associations, which should initially fix MIN MAX
RATE, based on existing amenities at the time of fixing, later on the TLRFA should assemble every quarterly/half
yearly for determining % of increase in the value of property in the respective
territories ward wise/ village wise based on developments taken place in the previous
quarter/ half year, the rate of appreciation/increase per half year should not
be more than 5% of the MINIMUM VALUE, and the yearly rate of increase should
not be more than 10% or bank rate of interest whichever is higher. The MIN MAX VALUE, APPRECIATION OF LAND VALUE
SHOULD BE GEO MAPPED WARD WISE/ VILLAGE WISE WITH REASONS FOR FIXATION,
APPRECIATION WHICH SHOULD BE UP DATED EVERY HALF YEARLY AND A CENTRALISED GEO
MAP DATA SHOULD BE AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE for public understanding. (already
some private property dealers are using basic geo mapping of availability of
properties at the required specifications, budgests across the country if one
feeds the inputs like the budget, specifications etc so the GOO MAPPING of MIN
MAX can done easily)
The bases for fixation of MIN MAX rate
should be based on UNIFORM NORMS, IN STANDARD FORMAT throughout the country to
determine/ arrival of land price in that territory wise is based on the
parameters like development activities happened/happening as on date in that
territory, population of the village/ward, per capta income, availability of
basic amenities like roads, hospitals, schools, collages, transportation
facilities like bus, rail, airport, sea port, approach roads,
distance to highways, distance from market yard, food storage gowdans, etc etc.
THIS MEASURE WILL CHANGE THE DYNAMICS OF ECONOMY OF THE COUNTRY.
THE CRITERIA/ NORMS FOR ENHANCING THE
LAND VALUE/RATE (APPRECIATED VALUE OF LAND PERIODICALLY) SHOULD ALSO BE UNIFORM
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WHICH SHOULD BE DIFFERENT FROM NORMS WHICH WERE LAID FOR
ARRIVING AT MINIMUM RATE. FOR ARRIVING AT MINIMUM RATE THE PRESENT FACILITIES
AVAILABLE SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO AS BASES, WHERE AS FOR FIXING INCREMENT THE
PARAMETERS ARE PROGRESSIVE/ ON GOING/ DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES, IMPROVEMENT OF
STANDARD OF LIVING AS BASE; For arriving
rate of enhancement/appreciation, there should be fixed points with fixed
rating, i.e creation of approach road, creation of community toilets, maintenance
of cleanliness of surroundings (Hygiene of village/ ward), visit of ASHAS,
conduct of Gram sabhas should, fair distribution of Fair price shops monitoring
etc, no of Self Help Groups (SHG) & turnover of SHG, safety precautions
while using fertilizers/ pesticides, and hazardous materials storage/ waste
disposal, use of alternative energy like solar power, gober gas plants, etc,
reduction of use of wood/ charcoal for cooking (use of smoke less stoves /
chulas for cooking etc), use of solar lantrins where no rural electrification
places, the Gram sabha members taking
pro active measures of ensuring health care of adult child, nourishing mothers,
aged people, no of children being vaccinated, no of children studying (negative
percentage in case of school dropouts in coming
half year), creation of play grounds,
communal harmony, no of MNREGA employees & work done, savings in
banks, etc, vaccination of stray animals,
administering precautionary medicine in the events of communicable
diseases, use of green energy/ solar energy at Gram panchayat office,
maintenance of Primary health centre etc, etc many other different parameter to
determine the increase in the land value
in the rural areas. (if there are 25 points to be considered, for each 5 points
1% increase in land value can be ascertained, negative points for negative
activities like school dropouts, disturbances in communal harmony etc, which
will ensure that all villagers can work in harmony, in team spirit and
inclusive growth occurs over a period of time, which is sustainable) If some
points are in progress then they can enhance the rate by those bases points. Also
ideal that the TLRFA should inspect quarterly to inspect the villages
personally observe/ record the ongoing development activities to educate the
villages for fixing the rate enhancement of value of property, also this visits
should aim at build thrust in them for development, inducing in them the need
for development activities of the village through cooperation among various
sections in the village for enhancement of land rate, if there is no
development activities taken place, or unhygienic surroundings, no toilets/
open defecation, stagnation of drainage water etc, then the land rate many
remain the same as MINIMUM fixed rate fixed at the beginning, even after
several years until unless people understand the need for cooperative team
effort for change in the state of territory, creation of basic amenities in
their territory. Due to MIN MAX RATE
FIXATION, ENHANCEMENT OF LAND VALUE BASED ON PROGRESS OF VILLAGE, WILL INCULCATE
TEAM SPIRIT AMONG THE PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGES, WILL MAKE THE PEOPLE STAND UP FOR
THEIR RIGHT QUESTIONING THEIR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES TO WORK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
& WELFARE ACTIVITIES OF THE PEOPLE OF THE TERRITORY, ALSO MAKES THEM KEEP
THEIR SURROUNDINGS ALWAYS CLEAN AND HYGIENE (MAKING SWATCH BHARAT A REALITY),
THERE WILL BE TOILETS AND NO OPEN DEFECATION, THE DIGNITY OF WOMEN SAFE
GUARDED, THE CHILDREN WILL GO TO SCHOOL, LESS SCHOOL DROPOUTS, FAMILY HEALTH
WILL IMPROVE, ALL LEADING TO OVER ALL PROGRESS OF EVERY VILLAGE, THUS THE
NATION WILL ACHIEVE SUSTAINED INCLUSIVE GROWTH OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. Also the
MIN MAX rate and ENHANCE OF PROPERTY VALUE makes private investors acquire land
with ease, more private investment occurs due to stable land pricing/value of
appreciation, thus more economic development occurs, without the need for
banking on government for acquiring land for private business/industry.
Also it should be made mandatory that ALL
THE PAYMENTS IN ANY LAND/PROPERTY TRANSITION SHOULD BE THROUGH BANK CHEQUE ONLY;
Also in case of value of TRANSACTION OF PROPERTY IS MORE THAN 1,00,000 ONE LAKH
RUPEES THAN INCOME TAX CLEARANCE FOR THE SOURCE OF FUND SHOULD BE MANDATORY FOR
LAND REGISTRATION/ sale agreement. All sale agreements must mandatorily get
registered within a 24 hours of prospective sale agreement and on registration of
sale agreement the validity of the sale agreement should be maximum of 90 days
else should automatically get lapsed.
Also it
should be made mandatory that before entering sale agreement with any
prospective buyer the seller should feed the details of sale agreement like
buyer details, value agreed, the extent of land/property description etc with
land registration authority website (otherwise a centralised website for
showing basic details to public the prospective sale agreements between land
owner & buyer, linking the property owners details should be there), AND A
UNIQUE NUMBER SHOULD BE AWARDED EACH PROSPECTIVE SALE AGREEMENT WHEN PROPERTY
OWNER/SELLER ENTER THE REQUIRED BASIC DETAILS OF PROPERTY TRANSACTION (PIN
NUMBER TO BE SENT ON THE MOBILE NUMBER OF THE PROPERTY OWNER TO BE QUOTED ALONG
WITH DETAILS SUBMITTED FOR GETTING UNIQUE NUMBER AUTHORISING THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY
OF THE PROSPECTIVE SALE TRANSACTION) FOR ALL PROSPECTIVE SALE AGREEMENTS TO GET
TRANSLATE INTO SALE AGREEMENT REGISTRATION, THE UNIQUE NUMBER SHOULD BE QUOTED
IN PROSPECTIVE SALE AGREEMENT FOR ENTERING INTO A SALE AGREEMENT, THIS DISPLAY
OF UNIQUE NUMBER ENSURES THAT PROPERTY OWNER NOT ENTERING SALE AGREEMENT WITH
MULTIPLE PERSONS, MULTIPLE TIMES, OR FRAUDULENTLY SELLING / ENTERING PROPERTY SALE
AGREEMENTS FOR PROPERTIES WHICH ARE UNDER MORTGAGE OF BANKS/ FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
ETC WHICH WILL CERTAINLY ERADICATE FRAUDS IN PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS, DUE TO
DOUBLE REGISTRATIONS/ SELLING IT TO MULTIPLE PERSONS THE SAME PROPERTY OR
SELLING PROPERTY ON FABRICATED DOCUMENTS ETC AND REDUCE PROPERTIES GETTING INTO
COURT LITIGATIONS; in this process the persons who are willing to buy the
property situated anywhere in INDIA/entering sale agreement should visit the web site of PROPERTY OWNERS for
ETHNICITY OF UNIQUE ID AUTHORISING SALE OF THE PROPERTY, if this number exists
then the property can be confirmed that the property owner has not entered the
agreement prior to them/property free from mortgage and their sale can be valid provided all other
formalities completed, this measure also ensures who are buying which property,
so that buying property in benami transactions, with un accounted money can be
reduced to a great extent due to the taxation authorities get ample time to do surveillance
on large transactions to unearth unaccounted money circulation in the property transition
& availability of data publicly for public scrutiny, ALSO IT SHOULD MADE A
CRIMINAL OFFENCE FOR ENTERING A SALE AGREEMENT WITHOUT UNIQUE NUMBER AUTHORISING
SALE OF PROPERTY, NO KIND OF MONITORY TRANSACTIONS SHOULD BE ENTERTAINED
WITHOUT ENTERING SALE AGREEMENT, IF MADE SHOULD BE A CRIMINAL OFFENCE WITH
APPROPRIATE IMPRISONMENT; ALSO IT SHOULD BE A CRIMINAL OFFENCE TO ENTER MORTGAGE
OF PROPERTIES WITHOUT THIS UNIQUE NUMBER AND REGISTRATION OF MORTGAGE DEEDS MANDATORY,
WITHOUT UNIQUE NUMBER NO CLAIMS ON RIGHTS OF MORTGAGE DEES ENTERTAINED IN CASE THE
PROPERTY OWNERS FAILS TO REPAY; Since min max value is their in existence there
is no harm for the buyer/ seller, in order to protect the interest of the
buyer, once the draft details are entered to get unique id only basic details
of the buyer should be visible not the monitory details, ALSO WITHIN 24 HOURS
THE SALE AGREEMENT SHOULD OCCUR, GET SALE AGREEMENT REGISTERED, FINAL VALIDITY
OF THE SALE AGREEMENT FOR FINAL REGISTRATION OF THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE WITHIN
90 DAYS OF THE SALE AGREEMENT REGISTRATION, TRANSFER OF TITLE DEEDS TO THE BUYER;
also only under the violation of the terms of the agreement the sale deed can
be cancelled only after 90 days of sale deed registration(primary sale agreement
registration), if both parties agreed so the deed can be cancelled only after 90
days of GRANTING UNIQUE NUMBER; IN CASE PROPERTY SALE AGREEMENT NOT REGISTERED IN
24 HOURS OF OBTAINING UNIQUE NUMBER, OR AUTOMATICALLY AFTER 90 DAYS IF THE PROPERTY
DID NOT GET INTO REGISTRATION FOR TRANSFER OF TITLE DEEDS TO BUYER, THE SALE AGREEMENT
GETS NULLIFIED; this measure ensures
protection of interest of both sellers & buyers; Also the details of sale attempts
by property owners should be displayed on the website; ALSO IT SHOULD BE MADE
MANDATORY STANDARD FORMAT SALE DEED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY FOR DIFFERENT TERMS
FOR RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, AGRICULTURAL, INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES ETC, BETWEEN
INDIVIDUALS, CORPORATE ETC SO THAT THE LEGAL COMPLICATIONS CAN BE REDUCED TO A
GREAT EXTENT, ALSO PEOPLE WILL BE FAMILIAR WITH THE STANDARD CLAUSES. This measure will certainly increase revenues
of governments, as it enhances the rate of collection of land registration fees
by various state governments, which means more revenue for state government, as
the rates are dynamic rather than statistic (at present once the circle rate is
fixed it will be same for few years, ALSO THE scope for ABNORMAL MARKET PRICE
do not arise, AS THE MARKET PRICE IS THE CIRCLE PRICE in the MINIMUM MAXIMUM
PRICE FIXATION, also since Income tax clearance for more than 1,00,000 value
properties ensures more tax collection for the central government (SINCE EVEN
IN BANK TO BANK TRANSACTIONS PEOPLE MAY TRANSFER MONEY FROM ONE BENAMI BANK
ACCOUNT EITHER INDIVIDUAL OR BUSINESS/ COMPANY ACCOUNT TO OTHER BENAMI BANK
ACCOUNT AND THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY DO NOT HAVE THAT LEGITIMATE TAXI PAID
MONEY TO BUY THE PROPERTY), THE BLACK MONEY/UN ACCOUNTED MONEY CIRCULATION IN
REAL ESTATE CAN BE REDUCED TO A GREAT EXTENT. In case if any LAND TRANSACTION deviates MIN MAX value sale, and transacted less/more
value than MIN MAX Value then BOTH THE RECEIVER AND PAYMENT MADE PARTIES i.e
the SELLER as well as BUYER of PROPERTY ARE LIABLE OF CRIMINAL OFFENCE, which
should be a non bail-able offence and should be subjected to rigorous
imprisonment. By this measure the so
called distress sale can be prevented, also exploitation of situations by
vested interest can be prevented to a great extent; in addition this measure
will certainly prevent circulation of black money/ unaccounted money in land
and property transactions.
ALSO GOVERNMENT MUST FIX THE MAX BASIC
COST OF CONSTRUCTED PROPERTIES BY PROVIDING STANDARD FORMULA FOR ARRIVING THE
COST OF PROPERTY, EACH WARD WISE / VILLAGE WISE BASED ON THE LOCAL INPUT COSTS
AND THE DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURE (land cost will be known based on the property
purchase document, in addition the construction for basic structure i.e
foundation, pillars, slab, and cemented walls and basic provisions like
concealed electric piped wiring, water
& sewerage piping etc without fittings), the maximum selling price can be
arrived for the property. Also it should be mandatory that the builder must
purchase all raw material through bank for this all the building material
suppliers (sand, concrete, cement, steel, labour, civil, electrical, plumbic, flouring
etc manufacturers/dealers, retailers either local or branded) and the builders
need to raise the invoice to the bank, either bank should and bank make
immediate online payment or should issue LC to the suppler, which should be
encased by the supplier on delivery of the goods to the builder, by submitting
the bills and delivery voucher to the bank (ALSO IDEAL THERE FIXTURES AND
FURNISHING AT PROPERTY CONSTRUCTION SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TO THE GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY,
SAY THE AUTHORITY WHICH IS APPROVING DESIGN, THIS MEASURE WILL FURTHER CONTAIN
THE CIRCULATION OF BLACK MONEY IN FIXTURES, AS MOST OF THE INDIVIDUALS WILL
PUMP IN THEIR UN ACCOUNTED MONEY IN THE FIXTURES AND FURNISHINGS, IT A HARD
FACT THAT IF ONE VISITS THE CONSTRUCTED PROPERTIES/ HOUSES/ BUNGALOW OF MOST OF
THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, CIVIL SERVANTS AND JUDICIARY OFFICIALS, U FIND THE
VALUE OF THE HOUSE DECLARED AND THE FURNISHING AND FIXTURES THE HOUSE HAS NO
MATCH, FORGET ABOUT THE VALUE SHOWN/ DECLARED TO GOVERNMENT, THE FURNISHING
COST WILL BE MORE THAN DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THE VALUE OF PROPERTY DECLARED TO THE
GOVERNMENT? JUST FOOLING THE COMMON PUBLIC BY THIS MEANS BY POSING THEY ARE
TRANSPARENT AND DECLARING THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTIES HONESTLY???? This is more
or less like “char ana murgi keliya bhara ana masala’ – i.e for a chicken worth
25 pisa, the spices worth 75 pisa are being used to prepare a curry, like this
the corrupt declaring properties undervalued and posing as transparent?) . THIS
MEASURE CONTAINS THE UN ACCOUNTED MONEY/ BLACK MONEY CIRCULATION IN PROPERTY
CONSTRUCTION, INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS TO A LARGE EXTENT. The maximum selling
price of basic property and also with fittings can be fixed and the builders
are restricted to earn killing margins, also since the margins are competitive,
they like to finish the projects at the earlier, also there should be
punishments for wrong bills/ undervalued bills, and the penalty should be 300%
of the value of concealment. This measure will certainly reduce circulation of
unaccounted money in constructed properties, also ensures all the local
manufacturers / suppliers pay taxes.
Also this MIN MAX pricing, coupled with
enhancement of property value on par with bank interest will certainly ensure
affordable housing for all sections in urban/ semi urban areas as land costs
are fixed and rational means in the housing in urban areas land rate component
is more than the construction cost?), it will eliminate the land mafias from
the country to a large extent as the rate of appreciation of value is very low,
it will not be profitable to the land mafias to get wind fall gains when the
land appreciation is very marginal (the cost of land will be doubled only in a
span of 8 to 10 years by following bank rate of interest norms); it will
eliminate windfall gains for the so called crony capitalists in land, crony
capitalist activities can be eliminated to a great extent?.
This MIN MAX VALUE of LAND measure will
ensure more people in rural areas willingly provide land for land acquisition
in case government provides appropriate onetime compensation along with either
job or lifelong pension to the people who are given up their land in addition
to providing necessary habitation to the people affected by this, as due
to urbanization some of the farmers willing to migrate to urban
areas due to education of their children or any other
reason, they feel that one the compensation coupled with monthly
salary/pension will certainly cater basic living of their family, as they do
not be in anticipation that when any project announced/ government acquires the
land, they will not regret that their neighbours are going get windfall gains
due to appreciation of land, in addition they do not feel peril that they will
become agriculture labour in the event of crop failure or due to any other reason??
(at present what is happening)??? Also more people may will deposit their
earnings in bank rather than going for land if the land rate is on par with
bank interest rate, as they can use the money deposed as and when required
rather than finding the buyer and selling at low rate in case of any
emergency needs, to get their immediate needs fulfilled. Also it will
ease the industry to start the industry as land rates will be always affordable
and uniform more or less, thus the project’s cost is low, due this production
cost is low, business will more and more jobs to the people. Also it prevents
circulation of unaccounted money, black money in LAND to a great extent, This
will bring transparency and ensure maximum accounted money transactions in land
and property, also reduces corruption in government and PSU working class, and
taxpaying business class. Also all
valuations for bank/ financial institution mortgages/ loans, the land value
should be determined based on the MEAN of the MIN MAX value and in addition
should take into consideration the increase of the % value enhanced every
quarter. This will also eliminate bank frauds which are otherwise prevalent at
present due to nexus between some corrupt bank authorities with some corrupt
business people to pledge the land with low value in actual showing it as high
value in the market and get loan and will not repay and banks unable to recover
the loan after auction as the real value even after few years is much less than
the principle loan given by the bank to few years back?.
Also it is very necessary to create DATA
BANK OF PROPERTY OWNERS THROUGH OUT THE COUNTRY EITHER VOTER ID CARD LINKED or
ADHAR CARD LINKED and make it public in the web, so that just by pressing voter
ID card number, name people can know who owns which properties at any part of
INDIA, so that the government, public can know about who is owning
which property, and is subjected to public scrutiny, this measure reduces corruption, benami properties can be
easily identified, also those who obtained properties through unaccounted money
can be easily identified, ALSO IDEAL GOVERNMENT MUST CREATE A GEO MAP OF EVERY
VILLAGE/ WARD WHICH SHOULD BE AVAILABLE ON THE WEB CLEARLY SPECIFYING THE
GOVERNMENT LAND, PRIVATE LAND, DISPUTED LANDS PENDING IN COURT, ATTACHED BY
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES (DISPUTES BETWEEN GOVERNMENT & PRIVATE, ALSO BETWEEN
PRIVATE & PRIVATE), IN ADDITION THE MAP SHOULD SHOW THE DETAILS OF
PROPERTIES OWNED BY ANY INDIVIDUAL IF HIS/HER SURNAME/ NAME/VOTER ID CARD NO
ALL OVER INDIA SHOULD BE DISPLAYED. THIS MEASURE WILL CERTAINLY MAKES THE
PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS MORE TRANSPARENT AS PEOPLE DO NOT GET CHEATED FOR DOUBLE
REGISTRATIONS, BUYING GOVERNMENT PROPERTIES WHICH WERE SOLD TO THEM BY LAND
MAFIA CHEATS, ALSO WILL NOT GET INTO TRANSACTIONS WHICH ARE IN DISPUTES AT
COURTS/ GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, also this measure reveals the properties acquired
by elected representatives, civil servants and Judiciary officials and business
people without discloser, at various parts of the country; this measures
reduces property matters getting into courts on account considerably saving lot
of time of court , also lot of development activity can occur due to clear
transactions) Also government departments like income tax and other departments
should use the data to know the whether the individual who owned the property
has that worth or it is acquired through tax paid money or not to determine the
benami properties, all other anti corruption agencies can probe the source of
money for acquiring property... and A Voluntary Disclosure Scheme should be
made available to avoid criminal in this regard, however in VDS scheme the
penalties should be levied. Also IDEAL THAT GOVERNMENT MUST RESTRICT EVERY
INDIVIDUAL TO POSSESS NOT MORE THAN ONE URBAN PROPERTY AND MORE THAN ONE RURAL
PROPERTY ANYWHERE IN INDIA and the extent of property can be determined based
on other parameters like metro city, city, town, rural area etc etc, this
measure will enable more money in BANK DEPOSITS, means more money for business
and also housing for all families in urban areas, agriculture property for all
families will be a reality in future. All
these measure leads government plan for infrastructure development will be a
reality, thus more economic development activities takes place throughout the
country and more jobs for the youth, the youth energies once channelized in the
direction of progress, peace and harmony
prevails in the country.
So It
is ULTRA HIGH TIME, ALL POLITICAL PARTY ELDERS, NGO's, ACTIVISTS, THINK TANKS
should exhibit their wisdom in this regard and ensure Government bring THE LAW
FOR FIXING MINIMUM MAXIMUM SALE PRICE OF LAND, PERCENTAGE INCREASE OF LAND
VALUE PER YEAR ON PAR WITH BANK INTEREST RATE, GEO MAPPING OF PROPERTY VALUES,
LAND USE, MIN MAX RATE , ENHANCEMENT/ APPRECIATED RATE VILLAGE WISE/ WARD WISE,
IN ADDITION CENTRALISED DATA BANK OF PROPERTY OWNERS, PROVISION OF UNIQUE NUMBER
FOR AUTHORISING PROPERTY OWNER TO SELL THE PROPERTY, FIXING MAX SALE PRICE FOR
CONSTRUCTED PROPERTIES, PAYMENTS TO CONSTRUCTION RELATED ACTIVITIES THROUGH
BANK, all are necessary to remove the existing maladies in land and property,
on implementing the spirit of this document, the progress of nation will occur
for sure as it leads to sustained inclusive growth of all sections of people, so
If the real intention of the political parties for being on streets/ protests
is not to exhibit “ONE-UP-MAN SHIP” wasting several millions of man hours of
downtrodden people, common people?, But
only and only in the larger interest of wellbeing of people of the country,
especially the farming fraternity, Then they should take up this matter
in appropriate forms like Parliament, Assembly create positive
pressure on the Governments of the day for creation of Legislation in
this regard, in case Governments of the day fail to do so, they should
take this to streets, in the larger interest of people of the
country, especially youth and downtrodden sections, farmers, to make
sure the Governments are compelled take up the issue and make law in this
regard for ensuring Real Development occurs ensuring Inclusive growth happens
at all times.
