The Gandhi National Memorial Fund (Local Authorities Donations) Act, 1953

Infrastructure19534 sections

This law authorizes and legalizes monetary contributions made by local government bodies, such as municipal corporations, district boards, and village panchayats, to the Gandhi National Memorial Fund. Normally, local public funds are strictly restricted to development activities within the specific geographic boundaries of that local authority. This Act creates a legal exception, validating past and future donations to the Gandhi National Memorial Fund even when those funds are utilized for charitable or public purposes outside the local jurisdiction. However, it ensures that trustees of the fund must strictly use the donated money for the specific purpose originally intended by the donating local authority.
