Premium rates reduced for land use of agri to non-agri

Jaipur: The government has given a big relief in premium rates for non-agricultural use from agriculture so that more and more leases are issued under the Prashasan Shehron Ke Sang abhiyan not only for houses but also for other activities. A target has been set to distribute 10 lakh pattas in this campaign and more than 4.5 lakh pattas have been distributed so far. The Urban Development Department and the Department of LSG have issued orders to reduce the premium rates from agriculture to non-agricultural use and to include other land uses in this concession. For this purpose, the mixed land use has also been included in the purview of the concession. If the lease of agricultural land is issued for non-agricultural use, then now a lower premium rate will have to be paid. There was a lot of brainstorming in the meeting of officials under the chairmanship of UDH Minister Shanti Dhariwal regarding the premium rates for issuance of plot leases.
