Madhya Pradesh Karadhan Adhiniyam, 1982

This Madhya Pradesh law imposes a tax called a school building cess on landholders to fund the construction of primary school buildings in rural areas. It applies to all landholders, including tenants and government lessees, and requires them to pay a specific rate per hectare, with a reduced rate for members of Scheduled Castes and Tribes. The collected money is deposited into a state fund, which the government supplements and uses exclusively to build and furnish schools in non-urban districts. The law ensures that local land revenue collection methods are used to enforce this tax.
