Tax191711 sections2 chapters

This Act regulates land grants made under a specific Portuguese decree from 1917, known as Alvaras, and the associated contracts of emphyteusis. It applies to holders of these grants who wish to regularize their land rights. The law modifies these historical grants to be treated as Class II occupancy under the Goa Land Revenue Code, 1968. This allows holders to formalize their ownership by paying the market value of the land as of a specific date, ensuring their land rights are recognized under current state law.
