General202025 sections

The Punjab (Welfare and Settlement of Landless, Marginal and Small Occupant Farmers) Allotment of State Government Land Act, 2020 regulates the legal allotment and ownership transfer of state government agricultural land in rural Punjab. It applies to landless, marginal, and small farmers who have maintained continuous cultivating possession of rural government land for at least ten years prior to January 1, 2020. The law enables eligible farmers to purchase this land at discounted rates relative to official market values, offering interest-free payment installments and conveyance deeds upon full payment. This legislation matters because it provides secure land tenure, socio-economic empowerment, and livelihood protection to vulnerable rural agricultural families.
