The Punjab Land Revenue (Additional Surcharge) Act, 1960

Tax19605 sections

The Punjab Land Revenue (Additional Surcharge) Act, 1960 amends land revenue collection by imposing an additional 50% surcharge on landowners for two successive harvests. The law applies to landowners in Haryana who pay land revenue, allowing the state government to collect this extra charge once per land. The surcharge applies in addition to any existing surcharges under other acts. Recovery of this charge follows standard land revenue procedures, though it won't affect calculations for special charges under separate legislation. This measure provides a temporary revenue boost for the state government by increasing the financial burden on landowners.
