The Himachal Pradesh Kisan Pass Book Act, 1996

General199616 sections

This Act establishes a system for issuing Kisan Pass Books to farmers in Himachal Pradesh. It applies to anyone with an interest in agricultural land, such as landowners, tenants, or lessees. The Pass Book serves as a certified record of rights, detailing the nature and extent of a farmer's land interest. This document is crucial because it allows farmers to prove their land ownership and eligibility to financial institutions and the government, thereby facilitating access to loans, advances, and other forms of financial assistance for agricultural purposes.
