According to the Right to Property, a citizen can hold, acquire and dispose of any land or property. It is one of the valuable constitutional rights of a citizen.

Initially, the right to property was a fundamental right of a citizen to acquire, possess and maintain a property. Later, the government stated that the property could be taken by the government for public welfare.

• In 1978, the 44th Amendment Act 1978 of the constitution of India removed the right to property from the fundamental rights and a new article, 300 A was created defining the right to property as a legal right.
• Article, 300A states that "no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law".
• The government cannot forcibly acquire any property without any legal procedure.
• The government provides profits to those citizens whose property are taken for the general welfare.
• The Right to Property gives an individual the opportunity to hold it, sell it and rent it.

Thus, it is clear that the Right to property is now a legal right.
