The Government of Tamil Nadu has decided that the entire compensation amount awarded for the acquired lands will be paid from funds controlled or managed by the state government.
Land covered
The acquisition schedule covers land in Block 3 of Pottipuram Village, Kadayampatty Taluk, Salem District. It identifies affected land through individual survey numbers and subdivisions, including entries under survey numbers 26, 76, 77, 78, 82, 83, 84 and 85.
For each listed parcel, the schedule provides some or all of the following:
- Total extent and extent being acquired.
- Classification as dry land.
- Wells, borewells, houses, sheds, water tanks, compound walls, stone bunds and other structures.
- Coconut, palm, neem, mango, banana and other trees or plants.
- Patta numbers and names of owners or interested persons.
Some parcels are acquired in full, while only part of the total extent is acquired in other entries.
Who should check the schedule
Notification No. VI(1)/195(c)/2025 directly affects the owners and interested persons named against the scheduled survey subdivisions. It is also relevant to buyers, lenders and professionals examining property in Pottipuram Village, particularly where title records refer to the listed survey numbers or pattas.
A buyer should compare the property's exact survey subdivision and extent with the acquisition schedule. The presence of a survey number alone may not be enough because the schedule distinguishes subdivisions and, in several cases, acquires only a stated portion.
