A guide built from your answers — not a legal opinion. Answers of “not sure” count against the grade until you verify them.
Plot approvals, simply
Short, sourced answers — each one stands on its own.
What's the difference between E-Swathu 11A and 11B?
11A is issued for properties in approved layouts or with approved plans; 11B covers properties without them. 11A sites are far easier to get loans and building approval on.
What is a revenue site?
A site carved out of agricultural land without DC conversion or an approved layout. It's cheap because you can't get a building plan approved, an A-khata or a bank loan.
What is a release order?
Planning authorities hold back part of a layout until roads, drains and power are complete, then release sites in stages. Registration and plan approval for an unreleased site can be refused.
Do plotted layouts need RERA?
New plotted developments above the size threshold must be registered on K-RERA before they're advertised or sold.
