The Himachal Pradesh Transfer of Land (Regulation) Act, 1968
General196811 sections
This Act regulates how members of Scheduled Tribes can transfer their land in Himachal Pradesh. It requires written permission from the State Government to sell, mortgage, or gift land to people outside their tribe, ensuring that state authorities and local village councils prioritize protecting tribal interests. The law validates only transfers approved by these governing bodies, thus safeguarding the land rights and economic security of indigenous communities against alienation, while allowing exceptions for cooperative banks or specific lease arrangements under regulated conditions.
