The Andaman and Nicobar Islands Land Revenue and Reforms Regulation 1966

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands Land Revenue and Reforms Regulation 1966 establishes the legal framework for managing land, collecting revenue, and governing property rights across the union territory. It applies to all residents, landowners, and administrative authorities in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The law empowers the government to establish administrative divisions, such as districts and tehsils, and appoint key revenue officers like Deputy Commissioners and Tehsildars to oversee land surveys, maintain records, and conduct official inquiries. This regulation matters because it standardizes land administration, ensures orderly governance, and clarifies local property ownership rights.
