No Litigation Incentive Annuity

Equal to 20% of the Basic Price of land Rs. 21,000 per acre per annum payable for a period of 33 years with a fixed increase of Rs. 750/- every year

Upfront payment of Annuity

Primarily a social security benefit scheme; upfront commutation permissible only in case of less than one acre; Amount of upfront payment is @ 30% of the Gross Amount. Purchase of Company shares is a high-risk investment without any assured returns/ dividends. Accordingly, no such provision has been kept in Haryana Policy. Instead, in cases of acquisition of land for Private Development, the rates of Annuity and the annual increase are twice the normal amount, which is a much better, safer and assured option.

would allocate the 16% developed land amongst themselves. There is also uncertainty about the allocation of inter-se nonagricultural uses in respect of 50% of the returned land. It is likely to lead to disputes. Further, the identification of affected landless persons to whom wages are proposed to be paid remains a major issue.
