1.5 Multiplier for Land Acquisition Compensation When Land Lies >10 km from Municipal Limits | Market-Value Cut-off = Section 4 Notification Date : HC Punjab & Haryana

The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that land situated more than ten kilometres from a municipal boundary attracts a 1.5 multiplier in compensation under the 2013 Act, and that the market-value date is the Section 4 notification. This raises the payable amount to ₹99,17,362 per acre, affecting owners and developers acquiring rural land beyond the specified distance.
