The Rajasthan Lands (Restrictions on Transfer) Act, 1976
The Rajasthan Lands (Restrictions on Transfer) Act, 1976, regulates the transfer of land that the state government has acquired or is planning to acquire for public development projects. It applies to all landowners, buyers, companies, and registry officials within the state of Rajasthan. This law matters because it prevents private individuals from selling, leasing, or mortgaging lands slated for public use without official written permission. Violators face fines and up to three years in prison. By restricting these transactions, the act ensures that government planned urban developments, roads, schools, and community housing projects can proceed without legal or ownership complications.
