Karnataka Certain Inams Abolition Act, 1977

Civil197740 sections6 chapters

This Act abolishes certain tax-exempt land grants known as inams in the state of Karnataka. It applies to all inams, including those in enclave villages, with specific exceptions for grants covered by other state laws. The legislation defines inams as villages or land held with partial or total exemption from land revenue, whether personal, religious, or charitable. By abolishing these grants, the state aims to bring these properties under the regular land revenue system, thereby increasing state revenue and standardizing land ownership and administration across the state.
