Amaravati land guides for buyers, sellers and farmers

What you need to check depends on who you are. An NRI must first know what they are allowed to buy. A farmer with a returnable plot holds papers that nobody else has. A Phase 2 landowner is deciding whether to pool the land or sell it. Start with the guide that fits you.

  • NRI buyers if you hold a foreign passport or an OCI card. FEMA allows residential and commercial property but not agricultural land. So the type of plot decides the deal before the price does.
  • LPS farmers if you pooled land in 2015 and hold returnable plots. A buyer's lawyer will first ask for your allotment certificate, your lottery record and your registered deed.
  • Phase 2 landowners if your survey number is in Pedaparimi, Vaddamanu, Harischandrapuram or the Palnadu villages, and you are choosing between pooling and selling.
  • First-time buyers if this is your first plot anywhere. Doing the steps in the right order protects you more than any price you bargain for.

The records that matter in every case

Whichever side you are on, three records settle most arguments. For a returnable plot, it is the CRDA allotment and lottery record. For farmland, it is the pahani and 1B on Mee Bhoomi. For both, it is an encumbrance certificate from IGRS.

We pull all three before any money moves. You keep the copies whether or not you finally buy with our help.

Questions people ask

Can an NRI buy an LPS plot in Amaravati?

Yes. A returnable LPS plot is residential or commercial land. FEMA allows an NRI or OCI to buy it with money from an NRE, NRO or FCNR account. Agricultural land stays barred, whatever a seller calls it.

I pooled land in 2015. Can I sell my returnable plot?

Yes, once the plot is registered in your name. Buyers will ask for the final allotment certificate, the e-lottery record, the registered sale deed from APCRDA, and an encumbrance certificate for the years since registration.
