The Rajasthan Housing Board (Amendment) Act, 2020

Infrastructure20203 sections

This Act regulates the protection of Rajasthan Housing Board properties and the recovery of unpaid dues. It applies to individuals who illegally encroach on or obstruct Board land, defaulting debtors, and Board employees who neglect their duties. The law matters because it significantly strengthens the Board's enforcement powers, introducing strict criminal penalties, including imprisonment and heavy fines, for illegal encroachment, and allowing the seizure of vehicles and property. Additionally, it enables the Board to recover outstanding debts directly as land revenue arrears and increases the state government's administrative control over Board decisions to ensure public assets are protected.
