The Land Pooling Scheme is a voluntary initiative where farmers pool their agricultural land for capital city development. In return, they receive developed residential and commercial plots, along with benefits like monthly pension, loan waiver, and free education/healthcare.

For 1 acre of dry land, farmers receive 1,000 sq yards residential plot + 250 sq yards commercial plot. For 1 acre of irrigated (jareebu) land, they get 1,000 sq yards residential + 450 sq yards commercial plot.

Phase 1 covers 29 villages including Thullur, Velagapudi, Mandadam, Rayapudi, Penumaka, Undavalli, Krishnayapalem, and others. Phase 2 (2025) is expanding to cover 87 villages with an additional 44,000 acres.

The Rs 5,000 monthly pension is provided to landless agricultural workers and laborers who were dependent on the pooled land for their livelihood, not to land owners. Land owners receive developed plots in exchange for their land.

You can verify CRDA approval by: 1) Checking the LP (Land Pooling) number on the official APCRDA website, 2) Visiting the CRDA sub-registrar office at Thullur, Ananthavaram, or Mandadam, 3) Hiring a legal expert to verify documents.

Essential documents include: LP number certificate, CRDA approval, original sale deed, encumbrance certificate (EC) for 15 years, property tax receipts, and survey map. For LPS plots, verify the original allotment from CRDA.

In Andhra Pradesh, stamp duty is typically 5% of the property value, and registration fee is 0.5%. Additional charges may apply for document verification and processing.

Yes, NRIs can buy residential and commercial plots in Amaravati. CRDA has set up a dedicated NRI assistance center. NRIs should appoint a power of attorney holder in India for documentation.

LP (Land Pooling) number is a unique identifier assigned to each plot under the LPS. It confirms that the plot is officially part of the land pooling scheme and has government authentication. Always verify the LP number before purchase.

Apply for an Encumbrance Certificate (EC) at the sub-registrar office for the last 15 years. The EC shows all registered transactions and any mortgages or liens on the property.

As of 2025, LPS plot prices range from Rs 26,000-60,000 per sq yard depending on location. Core capital areas like Velagapudi and Rayapudi command premium prices (Rs 45,000-60,000), while outer villages like Nekkallu and Malkapuram offer budget options (Rs 26,000-36,000).

Yes, 2025 is considered favorable for investment as: 1) Prices are 25-40% below peak values, 2) Government has renewed focus on capital development, 3) Infrastructure projects are being revived, 4) World Bank funding is active.

Conservative estimates suggest 50-80% appreciation by 2027-2030. Optimistic projections indicate prices could reach Rs 80,000-120,000 per sq yard as infrastructure develops and government offices become fully operational.
