This law applies to the state of Madhya Pradesh and imposes a specific tax on agricultural land used for growing commercial crops. It sets different rates for different crops, charging two or four rupees per acre depending on the type, while exempting very small holdings of seven and a half acres or less. The government requires local officials to prepare a list of such land and assess the tax, giving landholders a chance to appeal the decision. This ensures that farmers growing profitable crops contribute financially to the state while protecting small-scale agriculture from excessive burdens.
