RFCTLARR Act: Solatium Payment Explained

The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act, 2013, governs land acquisition processes in India.

Under this Act, when land is compulsorily acquired, the affected person receives compensation for the land itself.

Additionally, the Act mandates a specific payment made over and above the calculated compensation. This extra payment is known as Solatium.

Solatium serves as compensation for the hardship and non-economic losses incurred by the landowner due to the compulsory nature of the acquisition.

Therefore, the amount payable in addition to the compensation for acquired land, according to the RFCTLARR Act, 2013, is Solatium.
