YEIDA 7% Farmer Quota Plots Explained: Sizes, Prices, Transfer, Rules

YEIDA allots 7% Farmer Quota Plots to landowners whose agricultural land has been acquired for development along the Yamuna Expressway. This is the latest version of the long-running compensation model also seen earlier in Noida (5% quota) and Greater Noida (6% quota). The 7% plots are fully developed residential plots located near the farmers’ original villages.

These plots receive infrastructure similar to general YEIDA sectors, including internal roads, drainage, sewerage, water pipelines, and electricity.

Location

The plots fall primarily in Sector 18, Sector 20, and Sector 25, clustered near villages such as:

• Mirzapur
• Acheja Buzurg
• Achhepur
• Chandpur
• Rustampur
• Parsaul
• Usmanpur
• Dungarpur
• Milak

These are established villages within the YEIDA notified area.

Transfer Timeline & Status

Transfer is not immediate.
Typical timelines:

• 2–3 years for transfer after allotment
• Many farmers currently hold allotment letters only
• Sector maps for multiple clusters are still awaited
• Registry happens after development begins and maps are notified
• Plots become transferable only after registration

Because most plots are not yet registered, resale today happens through interim documentation, including:

1. Agreement to Sell
2. Will
3. GPA (General Power of Attorney)
4. Signed Transfer Kit

These are standard interim documents used until registry is completed.

Plot Sizes

Sizes vary widely because the % allotment depends on the size of the original land acquired from each farmer. As a result, plots range from:

• 120 sq yards
• up to 1000 sq yards

Uniformity is not expected due to varied source land parcels.

Usage Rules (Residential + Limited Commercial)

Plots are primarily residential, but YEIDA permits up to 50% commercial usage for specific categories such as:

• Guest houses
• Clinics
• Coaching centres
• Select small-scale services

Full commercial activity is not allowed.

Road Network

Most plots are located on 12-meter internal roads, consistent with standard YEIDA sector layouts.

Rates & Pricing

Circle Rate (from 1 April 2025):

• Rs 18,000 per sq meter

Market Resale Prices:

• Unregistered: Rs 20,000–40,000 per sq meter
• Registered: Rs 45,000–55,000 per sq meter

Prices vary by sector, approach road, proximity to highways, and surrounding development.

Leasehold Nature

All YEIDA-allotted plots—including Farmer Quota plots—are leasehold.
This is standard for Noida, Greater Noida, and Yamuna Authority properties.

Completion Clause

A completion period is applicable.
After physical possession:

• Construction must be completed within 3 years.

This applies to all Farmer Quota plots once possession is granted.

Difference Between Farmer Plots vs Abadi Plots

• Farmer Plots (7% Quota):
  Fully developed by Authority, sector-level amenities, leasehold.
• Abadi Plots:
  Village-level plots developed individually, often lacking roads, sewerage, drainage, and formal infrastructure; freehold in nature.

These two categories are fundamentally different in governance and development standards.
