The Bombay Local Authorities Census Expenses Contribution Act, 1950

Infrastructure19506 sections

This Act regulates how local government bodies in Maharashtra contribute to the costs of conducting a national census. It applies to all local authorities in the state, requiring them to assist in census operations and pay a share of the expenses from their local funds. This law matters because it ensures that local administrations actively support and fund the crucial task of population counting. By empowering the state government to enforce these duties and recover costs in case of default, the Act guarantees that census operations run smoothly, providing vital demographic data needed for public planning and resource allocation.
