The Salsette Estates (Land Revenue Exemption Abolition) Act, 1951

Tax195114 sections

The Salsette Estates (Land Revenue Exemption Abolition) Act, 1951, was enacted to integrate land administration in the Salsette region of the former Bombay State. It abolished the special privileges of "estate-holders" who previously held land under "kowl" (lease) agreements, often exempt from paying land revenue. The Act mandates that all lands in these estates are now liable for land revenue payments to the State Government, aligning them with the Bombay Land Revenue Code. It also vests waste lands and forest rights in the State, while providing a mechanism for affected parties to claim compensation for extinguished rights.
