  • What Circumstances TDR is issued?

    When the Government undertakes compulsory acquisition of individual land parcels for creating infrastructural projects, it is required to compensate the land owners. The compensation provided by the Government is usually lower than the market rate, and hence they introduced the concept of Transferable Development Rights. The owners of landlocked properties that are to be acquired may not be compensated in cash, which usually keeps the acquisition procedure in impasse for years, as seen in many of the city’s trailing development projects, but be entitled with Transferable Development Rights (TDR).These rights are obtained in the form of certificates, which the owner can use for himself or can trade in the market for cash.

  • How to get the advantages of TDR for beneficiaries?

    TDR allows the developers to exceed the mandatory FAR and allow them to build additional floors in a building. The greatest advantage of TDR is its flexibility in use — it can either be used by the landowner on the remaining portion of the land after the acquisition or be utilised on any other property of personal choice. It can also be traded to other parties for an agreed sum of money.

  • What is the process of TDR trading?

    As these TDR certificates can be traded in the market for cash, most of the developers purchase the same and utilize them for increasing their permissible development rights. TDR trading follows the open market principle wherein the pricing is entirely driven by demand, supply and availability and there is no Government control over the same. In most of the cases, an average person does not get to know about the way TDR is bought, sold or transacted.
