What is Section 118 of the HP Tenancy and Land Reforms Act?

Section 118 is a state enactment designed to safeguard agricultural land in Himachal Pradesh. However, it provides clear statutory exemptions for residential plots and apartments in government-approved municipal and town planning schemes.

How do I verify if a project has valid approvals?

Always verify that the project is registered with HRERA (Himachal Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority), possesses clear land titles, and holds Town & Country Planning (TCP) and local body building sanctions.
