Telangana Lists Private Properties as Prohibited, Owners Face Transaction Challenges
Telangana's government has listed thousands of private properties under Section 22A of the Registration Act, 1908, prohibiting their transaction to protect public land and prevent fraud. Property owners, especially in Hyderabad and surrounding areas, report difficulties selling or registering these properties, often discovering restrictions after initiating transactions. The government acknowledges these issues and offers a toll-free number for complaints, while the prohibited properties list is available online but lacks effective search features, complicating access for owners. Some data, such as endowment and wakf lands, remain unpublished pending review.
