Civil195612 sections
This Act regulates the taxation of inam land, which is land granted by the government in Tamil Nadu. It applies to landholders who own or hold such inam estates. The main purpose is to allow the state government to levy full assessment taxes on these lands, replacing or adjusting previous payment arrangements like quit-rent. The law ensures that tax rates are set fairly by comparing them to similar lands in the area. It provides a legal framework for the state to collect revenue from these traditional land grants, ensuring the government has the authority to assess and tax inam holdings according to current settlement rates.
