Govt. notifies rules for latest Amaravati Land Pooling Scheme
The new rules, titled Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Land Pooling Scheme (Formulation and Implementation) Rules, 2025, were notified through G.O. Ms. No. 118 by the Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) Department on July 1, 2025.
The rules will be implemented by the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA), covering areas in the capital region, including parts of the former Krishna and Guntur districts.
The scheme is primarily focused on land pooling for Amaravati and the surrounding region, where large-scale infrastructure development is going on.
Compared to the earlier 2015 version, the new rules offer certain changes like fewer forms, use of technology, Aadhaar OTP-based verification, and encumbrance certificate (EC) update.
Drone-based survey
S. Suresh Kumar, Principal Secretary, MAUD, said that the number of official forms required for LPS procedure has been significantly reduced to ease the administrative burden. 'Drone and rover-based land surveys will be used for accuracy. Landowner consent will be authenticated digitally, ensuring secure and transparent processing through Aadhar authentication. Plot details will now be directly entered into the Registration Department's EC records, avoiding the need for additional registrations or LPS mutations.'
Benefits
The entitlements depend on the category of land surrendered — like dry or jareebu (wetland) — and whether the land is patta, assigned, or encroached. The return of reconstituted plot is in addition to the payment of cash towards annuity and other benefits to the landowners in lieu of the land they surrendered.
With respect to the patta lands, for one acre the CRDA will return a reconstituted residential plot of 1,000 sq. yds. and a commercial plot of 250 sq. yds. for dry land, and 1,000 sq. yds. of residential and 450 sq. yds. of commercial plot for jareebu land. For assigned lands, the land owners are classified into six categories like ex-servicemen, political sufferers, freedom fighters, encroachers of unobjectionable government lands and encroachers of objectionable government lands with variable benefits.
In addition, farmers will get ₹30,000 as annuity for dry lands and ₹50,000 for jareebu lands, which will increase yearly by ₹3,000 and ₹5,000 respectively. Farmers are entitled to get a one-time payment of ₹1,00,000 for land with fruit orchards (lime, sapota, guava). A pension of ₹5,000 per month for 10 years will be provided for each landless poor family and agricultural loan waiver up to ₹1.5 lakh per eligible family.
Mr. Suresh Kumar advised the farmers and landowners in the capital region to understand their eligibility under these new rules and prepare the necessary documents to participate in the scheme.

New land pooling rules unveiled for capital region
Thestate government issued new Land Pooling Scheme (LPS) Rules for the Capital Region through GO Ms No 118. These 'Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Land Pooling Scheme (Formulation and Implementation) Rules, 2025' are meant to simplify processes, reduce delays, and use modern technology, according to S Suresh Kumar, principal secretary, municipal administration and urban development department. The new rules come at a time when infrastructure projects are progressing rapidly in Amaravati. The expansion is affecting nearby rural areas, where new urban settlements and satellite towns are starting to emerge. The government plans to provide basic infrastructure and services in these areas as they transition into urban zones. The Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA), formed under the 2014 Act, will be responsible for planning, supervising, and funding development in the Capital Region. The new rules retain the compensation structure introduced under the 2015 Capital City LPS Rules but introduce several changes. According to Suresh Kumar, the number of required forms has been cut down from 32 to fewer in order to simplify the process. Land surveys will now use drones and GPS-enabled rovers. Landowners who give consent under the scheme will go through Aadhaar/OTP-based verification instead of manual paperwork. Water bodies will be protected following court orders, and details of new plot allocations will be directly recorded in the Registration Department's database. This will remove the need for separate registration and mutation processes. The Joint Collector will handle the verification and confirmation of ownership of government, assigned, Lanka, and endowments lands. Landowners will be given reconstituted plots along with other benefits. These include annual annuity payments: Rs 30,000 for dry land and Rs 50,000 for jareebu land in the first year. The annuity will increase by Rs 3,000 for dry land and Rs 5,000 for jareebu land every year. One-time payments of Rs 1 lakh will be given for garden lands with lime, sapota, or guava trees. Landless families will receive a pension of Rs 5,000 per month for 10 years. Farmers will get a one-time agricultural loan waiver of up to Rs 1.5 lakh. Other support includes free education and healthcare, access to old age homes, subsidised food through Anna Canteens, and the use of local farmers' tractors in construction work.
