Tax202133 sections11 chapters

This Act establishes a legal framework for recording and maintaining rights over "Abadi deh," which refers to land not assessed to land revenue and includes areas within municipal limits. It applies to the entire state of Punjab and empowers specific revenue officers, such as the Collector and Naib-Tehsildar, to prepare and maintain these records. The legislation matters because it provides clarity on land ownership and rights in these specific areas, helping to resolve disputes and ensure proper administration of property in both urban and non-revenue assessed zones.
