The Kerala Revenue Card Act, 1999

General199923 sections

The Kerala Revenue Card Act, 1999, regulates the issuance and maintenance of official Revenue Cards for individual families. Applicable to residents across the state of Kerala, it excludes government owned lands. The law matters because it consolidates vital details about family members, land ownership, income, and welfare benefits into a single register. Instead of obtaining multiple separate certificates from various departments, citizens can present this card as authoritative proof to claim government grants, concessions, pensions, and financial loans, thereby greatly simplifying how common families interact with government offices, access essential public services, and receive social welfare benefits from the state.
