JAIPUR: Rajasthan government’s ambitious but much delayed land pooling Act may come into force after the Lok Sabha elections as the urban development and housing ( UDH) department has initiated a process to formulate its rules and regulations.The bill passed by the previous BJP government could not be implemented as the department failed to frame rules and regulations. A UDH official said, “The bill received the approval from the President of India, the (UDH) also released the notification for the same. However, it could not see the light of the day as rules were not framed,”Land pooling policy was devised as an alternative to the cumbersome process of land acquisition for development. As per the Act, part of land will be used for urban infrastructure development with the consent of the landowner under the Land Pooling Scheme, instead of the UDH acquiring the land.Sources at UDH said, apart from this, two more bills related to (UDH) that were passed in the state assembly during the previous BJP’s tenure continue to remain only on paper.The Rajasthan Urban Land (Certification of Titles) Act, 2016 was passed by the Rajasthan assembly on April 4, 2016 for the first time in the country with an aim to curb fraudulent practices in sale and purchase of non-agricultural land in urban areas by issuing a certificate of ownership for a nominal fee.The previous government had claimed that the bill would give clear titles to urban land owners and would reduce litigations in court. However, the bill was not passed as rules are not framed till date. Sources at the UDH said, “If the bill was implemented residents could have sought certificate of title to claim ownership of their non-agricultural lands falling in urban areas - those governed by the municipalities or the development authorities - by paying a nominal fee to the state government. It is voluntary for the owners to apply for these certificates.”Similarly, Apartment Ownership and Urban Land (Certification of Titles) could not be implemented in absence of rules.
