Now onwards, industrialists and real estate developers in Gujarat will not require bribing or running after the district collectors to get 11 different no-objection certificates (NOCs) to acquire the non-agricultural (NA) permission, documents necessary to buy land for non agriculture purpose.

It would now be a responsibility of district collectors to confine their activities to see if the title of land is clear after verifying the land records. They will also have to ensure that the land is not involved in any material pending legal proceedings. It should neither belong to the new tenure, under which landless and marginal farmers were given the land during the time of land reforms.

The move has been decided at a high level meeting in Gandhinagar. Also, a government resolution concerning the new procedure will be out soon, informs a senior official.

The required 11 NOCs will include the permission from the Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd, Gujarat Pollution Control Board, roads and buildings department, Indian Railways, Airport Authority of India and the Oil and Natural Gas Commission. And, the process will be carried out by the state department.

The collector will have a time-period of 90 days to facilitate each and every aspect required to grant land title clearance. Such a decision has been taken because the collectors would often reject the application for getting an NA if he could not get the necessary NOCs within the stipulated 90 days.
