How to Register Land / Property in Chandigarh

Chandigarh is a planned city with a hierarchy of controls defining the spatial layout of the city down to the development of various types of buildings. The legal framework for this has been provided by the Capital of Punjab (Development & Regulation) Act, 1952 and rules made thereunder. Another act, the Punjab New Capital Periphery Control Act, 1952 helps in the regulated development of land outside the Sectoral grid of Chandigarh City. The Chandigarh Administration acquires the land through the Land Acquisition Branch of the Estate Office and amenities are developed as per the standard norms of population density for the area and also in keeping with the projected land use in the master plan. These developmental works are undertaken by the Engineering Department of the U.T. Chandigarh. The land which can be constructed upon and to be used for habitation/other purposes (including usage's such as residential, commercial, institutional, industrial and recreational) is then released into the property market.
