Bare Act

The Mizoram (Village Council) (Amendment) Act, 1996

This legislation amends the rules governing village councils in the state of Mizoram, updating how local village administration is structured and managed. It applies to rural communities, village council members, and state administrators across Mizoram. The law revises the number of council members assigned to a village based on its household population, ensuring proportionate local representation. It empowers the state government to remove corrupt, inefficient, or unsupportive council leaders, increases monetary rates for community work obligations, and allows councils to appoint a treasurer to manage development funds. Ultimately, it strengthens local governance, financial accountability, and administrative efficiency in Mizoram villages.
