6% vs 7% Kisan Kota Plots: Greater Noida, Noida and YEIDA Abadi Plots Compared

“Kisan kota”, “kisan quota”, “farmer quota” and “abadi plot” all describe the same idea: when a development authority takes a farmer’s land, the farmer receives a developed residential plot as well as money. The share is not the same everywhere. In Noida it is 5%, in Greater Noida 6% and under YEIDA 7%, and each authority changed its terms in 2026. This guide compares the three, from court judgments, board decisions and dated reports.

The three authorities side by side

These are rates paid to farmers for their land, not prices for plots. They show the trade-off each authority offers: a lower per-sq-m rate in exchange for a developed plot. For YEIDA’s 7% rules in detail, see our 7% kisan kota plots explained.

Greater Noida: the 6% plot

In the 2011 High Court case, Greater Noida Authority told the court it allotted a 6% abadi plot, of 120 to 2,500 sq m, in addition to compensation. The provision was ended in 2016 and restored by the board on 27 August 2026, on the state’s direction, with a minimum of 40 sq m and a maximum of 2,500 sq m, in separate sectors. A reservation letter is issued when the land is registered to the authority.

Allotment of long-pending 6% plots has continued village by village, by draw or direct allotment:

• July 2025, Dadha: 104 plots planned for 104 farmers, 40 allotted by draw, with allotment letters and then lease deeds to follow.
• August 2026, Ghanghola: 23 farmers received plots, 16 by draw and 7 directly.
• September 2026, Saini: 58 plots for 39 farmers, 18 by draw and 40 allotted directly because their sizes differed.

Noida: the 5% plot

Noida’s farmers are entitled to 5% of acquired land as residential plots. Reported milestones:

• May 2023: 225 applications were pending, and 12 hectares of group housing land in Sector 146 was to be cut into farmer plots; farmers who had encroached were not to get plots.
• October 2024: a state committee reported that the 5% plots of 6,070 farmers, withheld over encroachment, should be allotted within two months.
• 5 September 2026: the board set ₹6,459 per sq m plus the 5% plot for land bought by agreement. Punjab Kesari and Deshbandhu reported that land bought for New Noida would follow Greater Noida’s terms with a 4% abadi plot in phases 1 and 2, and YEIDA’s terms with a 7% plot in phases 3 and 4. The 4% figure differs from the 6% Greater Noida restored in August 2026, so check the authority’s own order.

YEIDA: the 7% plot

YEIDA gives a 7% developed abadi plot. On 17 August 2026 its board set the rate for land bought by consent in Phase 1 areas of Gautam Buddh Nagar and Bulandshahr at ₹4,558 per sq m, or ₹4,037 per sq m plus the 7% plot. Our 7% guide covers the regulations behind it, and the land acquisition and compensation guide covers the compensation side.

What happened to the 10% plot?

• 21 October 2011: in Gajraj v State of UP, the Allahabad High Court gave the petitioning farmers from Greater Noida and Noida villages 64.70% additional compensation and a developed abadi plot of 10% of their acquired land, up to 2,500 sq m. Where 6% or 8% had been allotted, the authority could allot the balance or pay for it.
• 14 May 2015: the Supreme Court declined to interfere, but said the directions were given in a unique background and were not a precedent for future cases.
• 2016 to 2024: the state rejected Greater Noida’s resolution to give 10% to all affected farmers in 2016; the authority withdrew the proposal in 2019; and a committee formed in February 2024 also rejected it.
• 2025: the High Court dismissed pleas by Greater Noida farmers for 10% plots in January and October 2025, holding that the 2011 reliefs applied only to the farmers who filed petitions.
• 2026: farmers’ groups were still demanding 10% plots, according to local news reports; we found no state decision granting a general 10% entitlement.

Sources disagree on the 10% question. State committees have rejected a general 10% entitlement, while farmers’ groups say proposals are still pending. Treat any plot sold as a “10% plot” with care, and ask for the order under which it was allotted.

“Wave City kisan quota plots”

Wave City is a township in Ghaziabad, outside the areas of the three authorities above. In February 2024 a report said farmers there expected 8% developed land as their quota, and that Wave City officials had agreed registry of farmer quota plots would start after the second phase’s project report was approved. We found no official source for the quota or for whether registry began.

Before you buy a kisan kota plot

1. Which authority, which percentage. A “6% plot” is Greater Noida; a “7% plot” is YEIDA. Check the allotment letter names the authority, the farmer and the acquisition.
2. Allotted or expected. Many plots are still being allotted village by village. An entitlement that has not been allotted, demarcated and leased is not a plot.
3. Lease deed and transfer permission. Ask the authority what is required to transfer the plot to you, and whether its consent has been obtained. We could not find a current official transfer rule for any of the three authorities.
4. Every co-sharer and heir of the original farmer must be party to the sale.
5. Never pay on an agreement alone. In September 2026 police in Beta-2 registered a case after a buyer paid ₹32.50 lakh on an agreement to sell for a “7% kisan kota” plot and no sale deed followed. See power of attorney and agreement to sell risks.

Common questions

Please verify before you commit. Board decisions, court cases and allotment rules change. This is general information, not legal advice; check the position for a specific plot with the authority and an advocate.
