Question

In case of land acquisition by the Central Government for public-private partnership projects, consent of how many affected families is mandated by the LARR Act?

• A. 60%
• B. 70%
• C. 80%
• D. 90%

Hint:

Remember the two main consent thresholds under the LARR Act: 80% for purely private projects, and a slightly lower 70% for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (LARR Act) introduced mandatory consent requirements for certain types of acquisitions. According to Section 2(2) of the Act:
For land acquisition for private companies, the prior consent of at least 80% of the affected families is required.
For land acquisition for Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects, the prior consent of at least 70% of the affected families is required.
The question specifically asks about PPP projects, making 70% the correct answer.
