Home > Hyderabad > Hundreds of Jubilee Hills Properties Hit by Prohibited List, Transactions Blocked
Hundreds of properties in Hyderabad’s Jubilee Hills, one of the city’s most upmarket localities, have been placed on a prohibited list under Section 22-A of the Registration Act. The restriction prevents owners from selling, transferring, or mortgaging their properties, causing significant distress among residents. The affected areas include Road No. 44, where Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s residence is located. The properties have been classified as government ceiling land, bringing property transactions in these prime locations to a standstill. The Jubilee Hills Cooperative House Building Society Ltd has confirmed that numerous properties under its jurisdiction are facing this issue.
Property owners seeking to conduct transactions are being directed by the registration department to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Hyderabad district collector, certifying that their land is neither government land nor ceiling land. One property owner near Road No. 36 in Jubilee Hills revealed that survey numbers 403/1, 120, and 102/1 have been prohibited as ceiling land. The Banjara Hills sub-registrar office has been issuing market value reports clearly stating that these Jubilee Hills survey numbers fall under the 22-A prohibited properties list. Unlike other districts that have submitted revised lists to the Registration and Stamps Department, the Hyderabad district has neither updated nor published its list on the official website.
The Jubilee Hills Cooperative House Building Society was originally allotted 1,398 acres by the government, with portions allocated to hospitals, educational institutions, and other societies during the 1970s and 1980s. The society currently holds 3,035 plots across approximately 1,100 acres in the affected survey numbers, serving around 5,000 members. While survey numbers 403/1 and 120 fall in Shaikpet village covering Jubilee Hills, parts of survey number 102/1 are in Hakimpet village covering Banjara Hills. Most plots range from 1,200 to 1,500 square yards, though some members own larger parcels exceeding 2,500 square yards through adjacent plot purchases.
Society representatives indicated that properties exceeding 1,200 square yards are particularly affected, as this was the ceiling limit before the Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act was repealed in 2008. Additionally, members who expanded their original allotments by purchasing additional land and regularizing it with the society are facing complications. Approximately 10% of total plots, roughly 300 properties in Jubilee Hills alone, are caught in this prohibited list situation. Shaikpet tahsildar Y Anitha Reddy confirmed that the 22-A list is under revision and acknowledged that certain survey numbers in Jubilee Hills and other land parcels in Shaikpet mandal are under prohibition as the government has claims on the land.
