March 7, 2025 at 5:46 pmI recently paid advance for a house plot. While applying for a home loan, I found out that 30 sq yards fall under a potential road expansion zone. If the government decides to extend the road, Iβll lose that part of the land.Now Iβm unsure whether to:
Exit the deal and demand a refund, since the land has a high risk of partial acquisition.In this case , can I get my advance back in full?
Negotiate for a lower price, accepting the risk that I might lose some land in the future.
Whatβs the best way to handle this?

March 7, 2025 at 5:51 pmNot a lawyer but according to the rules and my understanding if the market price is equal to the collector rate of that land then in the situation of acquisition you will get 4 times of money.-

March 7, 2025 at 6:03 pmI edited my post, what I wanted to ask is 30 sq belongs to the road widening gift deed that the government owns.So, if the govt decides to extend the road I will lose it. Also the lawyer mentioned that since there is a construction on that part, I won’t even get any compensation from the government.

March 7, 2025 at 5:54 pmAfaik, you get a lot of money if the government acquires your land (provided it was purchased legally and was not govt land to begin with). You should properly research the law and rules of your state and precedents before making a move as the other party could negotiate for higher price if they become aware (provided they are currently not).-

March 7, 2025 at 5:59 pmI meant that 30 sq yard is road widening gift deed that needs to be registered to the government when constructing a building. So it actually belongs to the government.-

March 7, 2025 at 6:11 pmSo the previous owner already might have got 4x of the current rate and he might be selling only the remaining part.-

March 7, 2025 at 6:13 pmProbably, not exactly sure on this. Also the bank is not willing to give loan on that portion. Should I exit now considering the risk or as the probability of acquisition is less can I negotiate and go ahead?-

March 8, 2025 at 3:00 amJust exit the deal if there is no extra FSI alloted for such land, and also next time have a local agent or local person with you it does help.-

March 8, 2025 at 7:32 amThere was a guy who handled all of these things but this wasn’t brought up. I got to know after I visited the lawyer yesterday. Lesson learnt to verify the docs with lawyer first.

March 8, 2025 at 4:08 amWhat the lawyer told me is that any construction done after 2005 needs to allot some portion as a gift deed for the govt. But this was constructed before, so they haven’t done that yet. Once I buy and plan to construct something , I have to write the gift deed to govt( even though I pay the seller the market rate for the same)-

March 8, 2025 at 4:11 amAsk him to provide the copy of this rule and pay less for the road as that is not part of the property.Β -

March 8, 2025 at 11:09 pmSome doubts !!!
1. Residential and Commercial?
2. Are you reconstructing it or new construction?
3. If reconstructing then same built up or more built area will be constructed?
I think If more then portion of the land according to the excess area constructed will be gifted/donated/allotted for road widening. Youβll not get a compensation for this, instead will get an increased FSI ( Depends on State Laws).
