Background of the Notice
Under the National Highway Act 1956, the government can acquire private land to widen or construct a national highway. The recent notice specifically mentions "मौजे बंडगरवाडी, ता.इंदापूर, जि.पुणे" as the area slated for acquisition for NH‑9. The notice does not include a timeline, compensation amount, or detailed map – those details will be released later by the revenue department.
What This Means for Plot Owners

- Until a final order is issued, you can continue with existing plans, but be prepared for possible changes.
- Compensation, if any, will be determined as per the Act and the latest state rules.
- Your ability to obtain a building permit may be impacted once the acquisition process starts.
Immediate Steps to Take
- Visit the local revenue office (Talathi or Tehsildar) to confirm whether your land is listed in the acquisition schedule.
- Request a copy of the land record (7/12 extract) and check the NA (Non‑Agricultural) status.
- Keep all property documents handy – sale deed, tax receipts, and approved building plans.
- If the land is marked for acquisition, consider discussing alternatives (e.g., relocation, compensation) with a legal advisor.
- Monitor official gazette notifications for updates on compensation rates and timelines.
Typical Acquisition Process (What to Expect)
1. Pre‑acquisition Survey – Government engineers survey the land and prepare a draft plan. 2. Public Notice – A notice like the one you received is published, giving owners a chance to raise objections. 3. Compensation Assessment – Based on market value, location, and usage, a compensation amount is calculated. 4. Award Order – The final order declares the acquisition and the compensation payable. 5. Possession – After payment, the land is handed over to the highway authority.
Each step can take several months, and owners have the right to appeal at each stage.
When to Seek Professional Help
If you are unsure about the status of your land, or if you receive a formal acquisition award, it is wise to consult a property lawyer or a trusted construction consultant. They can help you: - Verify the exact boundaries covered by the acquisition. - Negotiate fair compensation. - Explore redesigning your project on adjacent, unaffected land.
Practical tips
- Maintain an up‑to‑date copy of your 7/12 extract – it is the primary proof of ownership.
- Record any communication with the revenue office (dates, officer names, reference numbers).
- If you plan to start construction, obtain a building permit only after confirming the land is not under acquisition.
- Stay informed by regularly checking the Pune District Collectorate website and the Maharashtra Gazette.

Real questions, real answers.
Do I have to stop construction immediately after receiving this notice?

Not necessarily. The notice alone does not halt existing construction. However, if a formal acquisition order is later issued, you may need to cease work on the portion of land that is acquired.
How is compensation calculated for acquired land?
+
Compensation follows the guidelines of the National Highway Act 1956 and the latest Maharashtra rules. It typically includes market value, a solatium, and reimbursement for any structures on the land. Exact figures are published in the official award order.
Can I appeal the acquisition decision?
+
Yes. Owners can file an objection within the period mentioned in the public notice and later appeal the award order in the appropriate revenue court.
What if my plot is partially inside the acquisition zone?
+
Only the portion that falls within the notified boundaries will be acquired. You can retain the remaining land, but you may need to revise your building plans accordingly.
