Andhra Land Revenue Assessments (Standardization) Repeal Act

The Andhra Land Revenue Assessments (Standardization) Repeal Act, 1979

Tax19794 sections

This Act regulates land tax collection in the border territories transferred from Andhra Pradesh to Tamil Nadu under a 1959 boundary agreement. It applies to landowners in these newly added regions, repealing a 1956 Andhra law that had standardized land revenue assessments there. This law matters because it ensures a smooth transition of administrative power, allowing the Tamil Nadu government to continue levying, collecting, and adjusting traditional land taxes. By retroactively taking effect from 1964, the legislation prevents financial or legal gaps, ensuring the state maintains its revenue collection authority in these transitioned territories.
