The Bombay Land Revenue (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1976

Tax197612 sections

This Act amends the Bombay Land Revenue Act of 1879 to regulate how land is used in Gujarat. It requires landowners to obtain permission from the Collector before changing the purpose of their land, such as using agricultural land for non-agricultural activities. If land is used without this permission, the occupant can be summarily evicted, and tenants may be held liable for damages. Additionally, the Act imposes a tax on landowners who use agricultural land in specified areas without proper authorization. These changes aim to control land use and ensure compliance with state regulations.
