Amaravati land pooling benefits: everything the scheme gives, and to whom

If you give your land

• Developed residential and commercial plots for every acre. The sizes are here. They are registered in your name and you pay no registration fee.
• A payment every year for each acre, for ten years, going up a little each year. Phase 1 farmers get fifteen years.
• Farm loans of up to ₹1.5 lakh written off once, if your family is eligible.
• Payment for the crop standing in the field when you hand the land over. This was listed by CRDA from 2015 onwards.
• If you had a lime, sapota or guava garden, your plots follow the normal rate for your land's title and class. The 2025 rules add a one-time payment of ₹1 lakh for such gardens.
• ₹10,000 a year because the village common land is no longer there to use. CRDA decided this in July 2026.

If your family lived off this land but owned none of it

• ₹5,000 a month for ten years.
• Training and first claim on jobs in the capital works. CRDA's 2017 report promised jobs, skill training, housing and other work as the safety net for these families.
• Old-age homes for the elderly, and cheap meals at Anna Canteens.

For the village as a whole

• Free schooling and free health care for people of the pooling villages, once the village declares its intent.
• Community buildings, water supply, drainage and sanitation. Detailed plans for 26 core villages were being drawn up in December 2025.
• An international school in each of the 25 townships, decided in July 2026.
• Local farmers' tractors and machinery get first preference on the construction work.

If you buy one of these plots later

You get the plot, its place in the CRDA-approved layout, and its ownership record. That is all. Not the yearly payment, not the pension, not the loan waiver, not the free schooling.

Some buyers pay extra because they think these benefits come with the plot. They do not, and nobody should ask you to pay for them. A plot's worth comes from where it is, how much of the colony is actually built, and whether the papers are clean. That is why our page on checking a plot matters far more to a buyer than this one.
