From the village meeting to a registered plot, step by step

What actually happens at each step

1. The notification. It names the villages and the acres. In Phase 2 the Cabinet gave the Commissioner the go-ahead on 27 November 2025 and the notification came on 2 January 2026.
2. The village meeting. Officers explain what you get and take your consent letter. Phase 2 started this at Vaddamanu on 7 January 2026, aiming to finish the first round by 28 February.
3. Your application. File it at the CRDA office for your village with the pattadar passbook, the pahani, your title deeds, Aadhaar and bank details.
4. The survey. This mapping step is new in 2025. It exists because Phase 1 was plagued by arguments over how much land a person really had and where the boundary ran. Settling it before anyone signs saves years.
5. The agreement. This is the paper that matters most. It records how much land, what kind, and what you get back, and it hands the land to CRDA. Your yearly payment runs from its date.
6. The layout. Every village has one or more units, like Thullur-1 and Thullur-2, or Nowluru-1 and Nowluru-2. Wherever it can be done, a farmer's plots are drawn inside his own village's unit.
7. The draw. Plot numbers come out of a computerised draw. In January 2026 CRDA ran a practice draw first, and put GIS staff on hand to show farmers where their plot actually was. No registration fee was charged.
8. The final certificate. Until the 9.14 comes, the plot is only provisional. If you are buying, this is the paper to ask for.
9. Registration. This closes the loop. By December 2025, 61,793 Phase 1 plots had been registered and 7,628 were still waiting.

Where it usually goes wrong

• The measurement does not match. The pahani says one thing and the ground says another. The survey step exists for exactly this.
• The wrong kind of land is recorded. Dry entered as jareebu, or the other way round. It is worth 200 square yards of commercial plot, so people fight over it.
• A road goes through the plot. These are called road-cut plots. CRDA gives such farmers a different plot through the draw, which is part of what the January 2026 draw was doing.
• The family splits the land after pooling. The agreement is with whoever is named in the record. Heirs have to get the record changed to their names before the plot can be registered to them.
