In case the land use term is not extended, the competent state agency shall reclaim the land in accordance with the provisions of the Land Law.
In case the land use term expires but by the effective date of Decree No. 102/2024/ND-CP, the competent state agency has not yet reclaimed the land, the land user shall carry out procedures to extend the land use term within 06 months from the effective date of this Decree. If the land user does not carry out procedures to extend the land use term after this term (on February 1, 2025), the State shall reclaim the land, except in cases of force majeure.
