Pune’s Big Clean-Up: Over 300 Illegal Resorts Demolished Near Dam Zones ( Khadakwasla- Panshet Belt)
In a major shake-up for land buyers and investors, the Pune and wider Maharashtra authorities have tightened documentation requirements for the sale and registration of deals involving fragmented/small plots. This will put an end to decades of irregular and informal land dealings and protect buyers from legal and financial risks.
What’s Changed: New Mandatory Documents
- Affidavit & Zone Certificate compulsorily required: Under the newly implemented amendments, sale deeds for small or previously fragmented plots must include a valid zone certificate confirming the land's approved use and an affidavit confirming that all legal and regulatory norms are met.
- Strict verification before registration: Sub-registrars in the Pune district have been instructed not to register any land transactions without the property card and updated 7/12 extract.
- Fragmentation-related legal changes: Recently, the state government repealed or relaxed portions of the “Fragmentation and Consolidation of Holdings Act” in urban and semi-urban zones, thereby making many small parcels legal.
Together, the steps turn what was often an informal or risky purchase into a more regulated, safer investment — but only if all documents are in order.
Why This Matters for Buyers & Investors
The reforms carry several advantages — and also new responsibilities for anyone buying land or plots:
- Clear, verifiable title deeds
- Protection from illegal or grey-area deals
- Better resale & development potential
- Regularisation for long-term security
Who This Impacts
- First-time purchasers of plots
- Investors in Pune's surrounding semi-urban areas
- Regularising previous land transactions
- Developers looking for well-documented, clean plots
Final Word
The new regulations have, therefore, made buying land in Pune and Maharashtra all the more transparent and secure. Proper verification, clean documentation, and understanding of zoning rules can save buyers from long-term legal and financial issues. A good development for serious investors, but also a reason why due diligence is more important than ever.
