The Orissa Local Authorities Census Expenses Contribution Act, 1949
The Orissa Local Authorities Census Expenses Contribution Act, 1949 empowers the state government of Odisha to charge a portion of census-related expenses directly to the funds of local governing authorities within whose areas the costs were incurred. It applies to local authorities across Odisha, legally binding them to provide necessary assistance during census operations as mandated by national census laws. The Act matters because it ensures that local bodies contribute financially and operationally to the census process, and it gives the state government authority to enforce compliance and recover costs if a local authority fails to fulfill its duties or payment obligations.
