This video provides essential, detailed, and exam-oriented notes for mastering *Unit 6* of Land Law, focusing intensely on the *RFCTLARR Act 2013* [1].

The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act 2013 was established to ensure fair compensation and proper rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R) when private land is acquired for public purposes, correcting the issues present in the old Land Acquisition Act 1894 [2].

*Key Topics Covered in Detail:*

1. *Purpose, Need, and Applicability:* The Act applies to the whole of India (except J&K) and covers both government and private projects [2].
2. *Key Features of the Act:* Includes mandatory *Social Impact Assessment (SIA)**, fair market value plus **100% solatium* (extra amount), and requires consent from land owners (80% for Private Projects or 70% for PPP Projects) [3].
3. *Social Impact Assessment (SIA) (Section 4):* Learn the process, which must be completed by the SIA team within *6 months* [4, 5].
4. *Public Hearing & Expert Group (Sections 5 & 6):* Procedures for mandatory public hearings (with 15 days notice) and review by an Expert Group of social scientists and local officers [5-7].
5. *Acquisition Process (Sections 11 to 30):* Details the Preliminary Notification (Section 11) where landowners can file objections within *60 days**, and the final Declaration of Acquisition (Section 19), which must occur within **12 months* of notification [5, 8, 9].
6. *Compensation Determination:* Explaining that compensation equals Market Value + **100% solatium**, with additional multipliers for rural land (market value x 2 times) [9]. Interest is calculated at 9% per annum from the date of possession [5, 9].
7. *Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) (Sections 31 to 42):* Review the benefits, including one house per family (or ₹ 1.5 lakh cash), ₹ 5 lakh lump sum for landless families, and job provisions for one member [10].
8. *Land Fragmentation Prevention:* We also quickly review the objects and definitions (like *Fragment* and **Standard Area**) of the **Gujarat Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation of Holdings Act 1947**, including the penalty for non-compliance (fine up to ₹ 500 or land confiscation) [11-14].
