Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013
Act of the Parliament of India
The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (also Land Acquisition Act, 2013 or LARR Act or RFCTLARR Act) is an Act of Indian Parliament that regulates land acquisition and lays down the procedure and rules for granting compensation, rehabilitation and resettlement to the affected persons in India. The Act has provisions regarding fair compensation to those whose land is being acquired, brings transparency to the process of acquisition of land to set up factories or buildings, infrastructural projects and assures rehabilitation of those affected. The Act replaced the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 enacted during British rule.
The Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill, 2011 was introduced in the Lok Sabha on 7 September 2011, which was passed by it on 29 August 2013 and by the Rajya Sabha on 4 September 2013. The bill then received the assent of the President of India on 27 September 2013. The Act came into force from 1 January 2014.
In December 2014 the Land Acquisition Ordinance 2014 was issued. An amendment bill was then introduced in Parliament. The Lok Sabha passed the amendment bill but not the Rajya Sabha. On 30 May 2015, President of India promulgated the amendment as an ordinance for third time.

Why this record matters
The phrase “act of the Parliament of India” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12412221. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013, 1894, 2011 and 2014.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
