Before you buy in Kandaghat
- Land is the common ask here. If you are not a Himachali agriculturist, buying land needs Section 118 permission. Rule 38-A sets the size limits, for example 500 sq m for a house.
- Use-it-or-lose-it: land bought with permission must be put to the permitted use within 2 years (extendable by up to 1 year), or it can vest in the State.
- Villa vs land: a ready villa in a RERA-registered project is usually simpler than buying land and building yourself.
FAQs (aksar pooche jaane wale sawal)
Can a non-Himachali buy a villa here?
Usually yes, but the route depends on where the property sits. A built-up house or flat inside a municipal area (Nagar Panchayat, Municipal Council/Corporation or Cantonment Board) does not need Section 118 permission. Outside those limits, even a ready villa sits on 'land', so a non-agriculturist buyer generally needs State Government permission under Section 118(2)(h). We confirm the route for each project before you pay anything. Full details in our Section 118 guide.
How do I check a project's RERA registration?
Search the project or promoter name on the Himachal Pradesh RERA portal, hprera.nic.in. A registered project shows a number like HPRERA…/P. Do not book a unit in a project that should be registered but is not.
Can I buy agricultural land in Kandaghat as an outsider?
Not freely. A non-agriculturist needs State Government permission under Section 118(2)(h), applied through the Collector in Form LR-XIV. NRIs and OCIs cannot buy agricultural land, plantation property or a farm house at all under FEMA rules. See our Section 118 guide.
What does it cost to register land bought with Section 118 permission?
Stamp duty is 12% of the circle-rate value or the price, whichever is higher, for men and women alike. The registration fee adds 2%, and the mutation fee is ₹5,000 per holding, up to ₹10,000. So land registered at ₹50 lakh costs about ₹6 lakh in stamp duty, ₹1 lakh in registration fee and up to ₹10,000 for mutation. Details in our stamp duty and registration guide.
Can you arrange a site visit?
Yes. Fill the enquiry form on this page and we will call you to fix a date and confirm a slot. Weekend visits from Chandigarh and Delhi NCR are the most common.
