The Haryana Ceiling on Land Holding Act, 1972

General197220 sections

This law regulates the maximum amount of land a family or individual can own in the state of Haryana. It sets a specific limit, called the permissible area, which varies based on the type of land and family size. Any land held above this limit is classified as surplus. The Act aims to redistribute this excess land to landless agricultural workers and small farmers, promoting social equity and ensuring that land is used effectively for farming rather than being hoarded by a few large landowners.
