15.3 RFCTLARR Act 2013: compensation and R&R notes

1. 15.3.1RFCTLARR Section 26: market value of land and the material date

   Under s.26 the Collector fixes market value as the highest of three figures — the stamp-duty value, the average of the top half of sale prices of similar land in the vicinity over the preceding three years, and the consented amount for private or PPP projects — as on the date of the s.11 preliminary notification, and then multiplies it by the First Schedule factor.

   The Collector values buildings, trees and crops on the land with experts (s.29), adds a solatium of 100% of the compensation for the compulsory nature of acquisition (s.30(1)), and pays an additional 12% per annum on the market value from the SIA notification (s.4(2)) to the award or possession, whichever is earlier (s.30(3)).

4. 15.3.4Compensation numericals: market value, multiplier, solatium, additional amount and interest

   Every compensation sum follows one order — market value (highest of s.26 criteria) × factor + assets = compensation; + 100% solatium; + 12% p.a. on market value from SIA notification; then interest at 9%/15% for late payment — and most exam errors come from applying a percentage to the wrong base.
