My family owns 20 acres of farmland in Tadimalla village, Nidadavolu Mandal. The government acquired a portion of it under the 2013 Land Acquisition Act. The highest sale price recorded in the Nidadavolu Sub-Registrar office was ₹4.5 lakhs. According to Andhra Pradesh government rules, compensation is calculated using the First Schedule. The multiplication factor for rural areas is 1.25. Should the market value be calculated as ₹4.5 lakhs multiplied by 1.25 or by 2.25? My land acquisition officer calculated it as ₹4.5 lakhs x 1.25 = ₹5.6 lakhs, adding a 100% solatium, totaling ₹11.2 lakhs. Is this calculation correct?

The land acquisition officer’s calculation is incorrect. The multiplication factor for rural areas is 1.25, not 2.25. The market value should be ₹4.5 lakhs x 1.25 = ₹5.6 lakhs. The solatium is calculated separately and is not part of the multiplication factor.
