Bare Act

The Punjab Abolition of Village Cess (Kuri Kamini) Act, 1950

This Act abolishes a specific tax known as the Kuri Kamini, which was previously levied under the Punjab Land Revenue Act. It applies to the Union territory of Chandigarh and the former State of Patiala and East Punjab States. The law stops the government from collecting this cess and prevents any legal action to recover it. It also makes it illegal to accept or attempt to collect the tax, imposing fines or imprisonment for those who try to evade the new rules. This measure removes an old financial burden and ensures the tax is no longer legally enforceable.
